Flowing from that, draw a vertical and a horizontal line that intersects within the oval. Then draw the head as a medium sized oval. Step 5: Drawing The Headįor the head, first, draw a small neck that extends from the circle at the top of the rib cage. Finally, draw the arms biceps and triceps by drawing the horizontal lines seen in the image. Then a short vertical line should be drawn at the tip of the handle. The katana handle should be drawn by using two short and slightly distant from each horizontal lines. When drawing the hands, draw the fingers of the left hand clenched as it holds on to the handle of our characters sword. Having drawn that, draw the hands as seen in the picture. Then they should extend out at the point of drawing the lower arms and should further reduce as you get to the wrist. Having laid that out, the upper arms should be started off in the form of big tubes and should reduce in size as they get to the elbows.

This entails the right arm being bigger in size than the left arm because the right side faces the viewers. The arms of our character should be sketched slightly extended from the body and they should be drawn using a 3/4 perspective.

Step 4: Drawing The Arms And The Handle Of The Katana’s Blade When you’ve done that, the continuation of the leg should then extend out a little and should narrow down as you get to the ankles. To highlight the knees, draw two horizontal lines on each knee and then draw a circle in between them as seen in the above picture. Each leg should be started off as a big tube and then you should gradually reduce them as you get to the knees. Our samurai character would be drawn standing with his legs far apart. This is where the legs of our character would emerge from. For the hips, you should draw them to take the form of a man’s underpants as depicted in the image. Then an outwardly curved horizontal line should connect those vertical lines. Step 2: Drawing The Hips And Abdomen.įor the abdomen, you should draw two pretty short vertical lines that extend down from the rib cage. This would be where the right arm would emerge from. Flowing from that, draw another circle at the top right side of the rib cage. This would serve to highlight the underarm area Having drawn it, go on to highlight where the head will be by drawing a small circle at the top of the rib cage. When that is done, as seen in the picture, draw another curved vertical line at the right side of the rib cage. Having done that, divide the rib with a vertical line using the 3/4 perspective. Then you should draw two curved out vertical lines that connect the earlier drawn horizontal lines at their extremes. The lower line should have a deeper arc than the top line. Going on, the rib cage should be started off by drawing two curved horizontal lines. This just means that the right side which faces the viewers would be drawn bigger in size than the left side. Using the above picture as a guide, the Samurais rib cage should be drawn using a 3/4 perspective.
