  1. what mesh should i use?

  1. There is no specific rule for modeling, you can use box modeling (start from a box or cube), use curves, use extrusion from edges… There are a lot of things you can do. For the duck I would get reference images and go for it with box modeling.

  2. Definitely yes, that would be my go at it, first edit the reference images in Gimp or other image editing software for later use in Blender.

  3. Here’s a good link to help understand all this:
