Of course it's okay to dye a duck egg for Easter. Traditionally, chicken eggs were the eggs of choice for making pysanky, but any egg that was handy could be used: goose, duck, swan. Today pysanka artists use duck, chicken, and goose eggs to create traditional patterns, and quail, turkey, rhea, and ostrich eggshells to make non-traditional ones. Duck eggs have a tougher outer coat to protect them, and often do not accept the dye as readily as chicken eggs. This may result in a more pastel final effect. You can try cleaning the surface of the egg really well with vinegar to see if that helps. Have fun!

Why does Easter egg dye come off?
Most Easter egg dyes are water based, and so will re-dissolve in water if given the chance. If the egg becomes moist (even if held in a damp hand), the dye will come off. In the case of eggs meant to be eaten, this is not a very big deal. In the case of eggs made to be saved, like pysanky, this can be a problem. That is why most pysanka artists coat their finished eggs with a protective varnish.

How do you draw a duck?
Learn to see the shape of the duck. In animation we see the shape of the duck reduced to its simplest form. In essence the duck is two egg shapes placed in opposite directions joined by an "S" shape. Try it on a piece of paper. Draw a big egg shape, this is the body. Now draw another egg shape in the opposite direction above the other one and leave a little space between the two. Now put a snake shape from the bottom of the little egg to the big egg. We begin to see the duck shape come in. Now make a blunt cone-ish shape on the little end of the small egg. This will be the bill of the duck. Make sure you have a good eraser to work with because you will want to change your shapes as you go. Put in eyes. These are almond shapes above the bill shape. If you are animating, this shape will be half moons but the real duck shape is almond-y shaping. On the big egg, draw in the wing and make the tip of the wing extend a bit above the fat edge of the egg. Make the tail on the little end of the egg above the pointy end. Now erase the pointy end and you have the duck body. Put feet on him. Make webby feet and short legs. These legs are just four short straight lines and the webby feet are on the end. Now that you have the basic shape of the duck, look at pictures of your inspiration and refine the picture until it pleases you. That is the art of drawing, to refine the basics until you are pleased with what you did. Above all, have fun with your drawing.
