I happen to like their style, so I think I'm a bit influenced by them ;)

Here you are... : "Donald Fights with a Bee"...
Enjoy! ;)

To Dutch Duckfan Down Under and Sim, and other fans who have not had professional training in drawing, nor much experience in drawing, I have uploaded this drawing below, of Uncle Scrooge, to illustrate construction of figures using basic geometrical shapes:

The basic shapes (circles, ovals and cylinders) were drawn in red, and the details (foot webbing, feathers, fingers and clothing) were added later. One can NOT place body parts in their proper relative positions by drawing the outside lines of a figure by "guessing" where they should be. One has to know the relative positions of the body parts, when the figure is standing still, at rest, or moving with arms, legs, head, feet, hands in whatever position. The way to do that is to divide the body into its basic shapes, and learn their relative positions during different actions. It is also important to shift the weight to balance the figure,unless you want the figure to be "off balance" (e.g. falling over).
I will next draw a figure in "heavy action", to demonstrate where the basic body parts move, and how their relative positions change.

Below is a drawing I made of Donald in full action, running away from danger. Again, I constructed him from his basic geometric shapes, ovals, circles and cylinders. I drew them in red pencil. His body has a pear shape, which is formed by two ovals (a smaller one atop larger). I wanted to increase the fear/danger factor, and so made his bottom oval somewhat bigger than it should be, to increase his weight near his back end. Of course his body parts are stretched, to exaggerate the movement, making the figure more dynamic. The blue pencil lines again show the details of the body parts and clothing. Donald's hands are ovals that are not far from circles. His feet are ovals. His head is a circle. Notice how the different body parts that are partially hidden by other parts are placed in their correct positions, by drawing the entire outline THROUGH the other lines. Normally, these lines are drawn lightly (as are ALL sketch lines) with non-photo blue pencil. Later, before inking, these lines can all be erased with a clean gum eraser.

Another drawing where you can see the build-up of the character:

This is a really great drawing of Donald! Well done, McDuck Menu!

Awesome drawings, and very Barksian too! You ought to be a professional duck artist, McDuck Menu.
