The bottom of the beak is basically 2 uppercase U’s: one on the outside, one on the inside, and a tiny line for his tongue! Have you noticed Duo’s little feathers on the top of his eyes? They kind of look like stretched-out lowercase m’s! Step 8: Start Duo’s beakįor the top half of Duo’s beak, draw a half circle right in the middle of the eyes, where the eye mask curves upward. Give Duo his signature eye mask by outlining the area around his eyes. Add a tiny circle at the top left of each pupil (this gives Duo a twinkle in his eye!). Then draw 2 smaller ovals for Duo’s pupils, inside the larger ovals. And, for extra credit, make the left eye just a tiny bit smaller - since Duo is positioned on an angle, this will help with perspective! Tip: To get the eyeball spacing exactly right, pretend there’s a third oval right in the middle of the two eyes. We’re going to have Duo look like he’s mid-jump, so put one foot on an angle to give him that bouncy look! (In Duolingo’s illustration style, we occasionally have elements float above or below a character, such as Duo’s feet!) Step 5: Have patience with Duo’s eyesĭraw 2 large ovals for the whites of Duo’s eyes. Step 4: Draw two pill-shaped ovals for his feet They should both start where the wavy shape meets the circle on either side. Think shark fin-shaped, but a little softer. These are Duo’s “ears!” Step 3: Add his wings Start on one side of the circle and connect the curved line to the other. Hey, that’s pretty easy! Step 2: Add a wavy shape on top We like paper that has lines or grid marks to help with spacing and sizing, but even a sticky note will work! Step 1: Draw a circle Materials needed: A pencil, eraser, and some notebook paper. Our designers have so much fun drawing Duo (and all of our characters), and so do many of our learners who share their fan art creations! Want to get in on the fun?
