How to draw Launchpad McQuack (2017)

The aviator jacket with all its layered details is the trickiest part of drawing Launchpad McQuack, and getting the confident thumbs-up pose to read clearly takes some planning, but the DuckTales 2017 reboot gives the character enough strong shapes to make the process manageable step by step.

Breaking Down a Full-Body Pilot in 15 Steps

This tutorial runs through 15 steps, finishing on a fully colored result. The character stands in a relaxed confident pose, which means proportions and weight distribution need attention early. Most of the detail work lands in the jacket and accessories, so the first several steps focus on building the body structure before any of that layering begins.

What Launchpad Looks Like in This Drawing

• Duck with orange beak and red hair
• Brown aviator jacket with chest pocket
• Orange necktie over olive green shirt
• Beige pants with brown belt and holsters
• Right hand points up, left hand on hip

If you are working through the DuckTales 2017 character set, Webby Vanderquack and pre-teen Donald Duck are good companions to this one, and Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera adds another full-body character with layered outfit details worth practicing.

• Red Color: lines added in the current step.
• Black Color: lines completed earlier.
• Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
