My second step-by-step drawing in a different pose.

 

This is my second drawing on here and I will be bringing more in the future, I am hoping to pass techniques on to artists who are willing to try and want the help :)

 

As before you start with the basic pose using a mixture of lines and tiny circles to show joints. You have to be sure of the pose but doesn't necessarily have to be professional stuff.

( below is my starting pose like before using the lines.)

 

 

The second stage as before the adding of sausage like shapes to show how big you wan muscles to be, as well as the head position, this stage should just be rough for now and there are many ways of doing this I have cleaned it up just for you.

 

 

The third stage is where it gets interesting, with this picture I have rubbed out the sausage shapes but you should really keep them until you have everything in proportion and scale.

 

( below is the third stage minus the sausage shapes.)

 

 This is the fourth stage and is starting to look human-like now, as you can see I have completely done the pose and outlines to a good spec but still needs the eraser to rub out any fingerprints ( and trust me there will be) and lines that over-run then you're ready for the final part.

 

 

This is the final part of the drawing where you can now do shading facial expressions and adding any other equipment or props into your picture, as you can see I have added a surf board for the simple fact is it suited the pose, this doesn't necessarily have to be the case, you can draw whatever you want into the picture, give it your own personal stamp..

 

 

I have finished this picture and each stage to try and help you get better, here's to hoping it helps you like its helped me :)



Progression of artwork ( How I draw )

Below will be a series of pictures showing you from start to finish how I draw my artwork and how you can too, I'm not professional but can pass down tips on how to draw your own favourite heroes, heroines and villains.

 

 

Step one: The first step is to pick a pose that you think is suitable for the character/ characters you are drawing and just use lines and a few circles on the joints to map out your figure ( Like the image below).

 

Once the pose has been established you then use a few sausage shapes to outline where the muscle shall be and how thick, for my example I have made the muscles big and bulky but yours does not have to be, yours can be slim and streamlined or fat and clumpy.

 

( Image below shows the sausage like shapes in use)

 

 

The next stage is to start connecting the shapes together to give you a basic outline whilst still working on the figures muscular shaping, don't forget that right now it does not have to be perfect and it will look a bit funky.

( Image below shows the body starting to take shape.)

 

 

Now that the basic outline has been drawn, you can now start to pick out the individual muscles only to outline them then rub the unwanted lines out with an eraser.

Now is the time to start thinking what ethnicity your character will be, you then get left with your basic figure minus the lines all over your character.

 

( Below is the figure without all the unnecessary lines.)

 

Then comes the fun part, drawing the face and toning of the muscles, mine is just a basic 7 pack and leg muscles just to give you an idea of how to start your own, ad whatever detail you want be it a headscarf, hat, poncho you name it the world is your oyster.

 

( Below is the image that has roughly taken an hour to do, depicting the muscle outline and facial features meanwhile not trying to over do anything.)

 

The next step and the last for now is the detail stage, where you trick your character out with whatever you want, I have thought up this character just for you guys to gaze upon, notice the shading, you need to watch out for this part as you don't want to over think this step, it can be tricky but looks awesome when you get it right.

 

( This Image has taken me 2 hours to erasing and re-drawing the shading and tone but with a little help you can draw like this too.)

 

I hope this will help you all and I will be doing more images from time to time.....Enjoy!!
