Hi everyone, it's Derek, senior animator here at Duolingo. Back at it again to teach you how to draw Duo. This time farting out of his ****. So don't do it farting on his ****. I like to start with the left side of his body. Then bring it around into the first cheek and again and do the second cheek. Then another line for the right side of his body. And we'll do the squiggle for the top of his head. Add a little ill shape for his foot. Little wing shape, sort of like half of a semicircle, then a ill shape for his eye. Another pill for his pupil because he's looking back at it. Outline that and add some feathers for his mask, semicircle for his beak and another one underneath that. And then for the fart we'll do 2 nines and this hoof. And then add sparkles to taste. As always, I like a lot of sparkles. Yes. OK, there you go.

VGM, GD, genuine, genius, gentlemen, sirs. I'm a south indian and I would like know if you Derek Gieraltowski can add/include one of our south indian language "kannada" "ಕನ್ನಡ". You may need to draw a farmer with a white turban and white dhoti, is what I believe. I've been humbly writing requesting about it to founder owner proprietor of Duolingo sir Mr. Luis von Ahn and your hindi expert श्रीमान Dushyant Sewak regarding it, but haven't received any acknowledgement or reply. My sincere thanks in advance for your time in reading and sincerely hope to get an acknowledgement or soon reply. I apologise for any disturbance and regret for all inconveniences regarding my requests. Thank you, Yours faithfully, Nandan M .🙏🏼
