Question

How do I draw a person well?

Community Answer

Be sure to take enough time to draw everything. Start with the basic lines in the pose that you wish your person to be in, and begin fleshing out from there. I had a lot of trouble with drawing things because I wouldn't take enough time to make sure all the lines were in the right place and that the drawing looked right. Details can always be hard to add. I don't really have much advice there. I'd say to look up some other drawing videos. I recommend Mark Crilley's drawing tutorials, they're good for even an expert to take a look at.

Why do we need guide lines?

Guide lines are helpful to gauge the proper proportions. It helps plan the space out. Otherwise, you might start drawing and realize that things aren't spaced out properly, or that the drawing won't fit within the paper.

Question

How can I draw a helmet?

Community Answer

Draw a cylinder with a small top base and finished bottom. Go to the side of the vertical. 3/4 of the way up, draw half of a smile on the edge of the side you want to be the face. Connect a horizontal line going to the edge and from this you should have 1/4th of a circle. Split a line dividing the total cylinder in half horizontally and erase the unused bottom half. From there add any details and designs you want and connect the helm to your body.
