Here stands a handsome male mallard, or drake, shown in profile with a sleek rounded head, a broad flat bill, a plump chest, and detailed wing feathers running along its side. The signature curled feather at the tail is the giveaway that this is a male. With realistic feather detail and a clear, well-defined shape, this page suits older children and adults who enjoy shading, while the large body keeps it open enough for beginners. In real life a male mallard has a glossy green head, a white neck ring, and a chestnut chest, making it one of the most recognizable ducks in the world. Mallards are the ancestors of most domestic ducks. Reach for that green on the head and a soft brown on the chest to color it true to life. Print it on US Letter or A4.

Coloring Tips

  • Green head — a glossy emerald or bottle green on the head matches the real mallard drake's famous coloring.
  • Chestnut chest — color the plump chest a warm reddish brown to set it apart from the gray body feathers.
  • Detail the wing — shade the rows of wing feathers in slightly different grays and browns to bring out the texture.
