How to Draw Kobe: Extended Tutorial

BELOW: How to draw Kobe Bryant Print Resource and PDF

Stride 1: Draw an oval shape for Kobe'due south head. Discover that the lesser of the oval looks like an upside down trapezoid while the meridian is rounded.

Footstep 2: I fabricated four horizontal lines. The meridian line starts at the midway point of the oval shape. The lowest line is at the lesser of the chin. There are ii lines in between the meridian and bottom lines. Notice that they are EVENLY SPACED, creating THREE segments in betwixt the top and bottom lines (refer to the picture).

Pace 2a: I placed four dots on the height line. These dots volition be used to aid you identify the eyes. Notice that they are situated towards the left side of Kobe's face up (rather than in the centre). Also, notice that the three spaces in between these dots are EQUAL distances. This is due to one of the oldest rules of facial proportion. It is exactly one eye distance in between our 2 eyes.

Pace 2b: Place 2 more dots, simply below the 2d line from the height (follow the movie for placement)

Step 3: Follow the photo reference and put in the shapes for the eyes. Kobe is smiling in the picture, so, the superlative of the centre is like a rainbow shape and the bottom is like a straight line. The acme of the iris (colored part of the eye) is blocked past the upper eyelid.

Step 4: In this step, add the bottom of the olfactory organ (to depict this make three connected, upside down arches....refer to the picture) and the upper lip. The upper lip looks like a squished McDonalds logo (picture the aureate arches squished). Also, encapsulate the center with ii lines.

Step 5: Draw in the two assistant shapes around the nose (they will be shaded after) and the bottom lip (another banana shape).

Stride 6: Depict in the lines, stemming from the chin, as well every bit Kobe's dimple lines.

Footstep 7: Draw in Kobe'due south hairline.

Step 8: Erase the four construction lines.

Step ten: Start to shade using cross hatching (lookout the video for a demo (especially the extended tutorial). Exercise the the darkest areas first: The optics and eyebrows, the hair.

Step ten: Shade Kobe'southward mentum and facial hair (almost as nighttime equally you shaded the eyes). Shade the bridge of his nose (a tortillion/blending stump is peculiarly helpful for the nose expanse) Brand sure that the shaded tones on the nose are non as dark as the eyes, the the eyebrows (eventually the pilus- but I did non cease shading the hair in the film for step 10). Shade in his dimples.

Step 11: Begin to shade the forehead. Add a second layer of pencil on the hair (use a nighttime pencil such every bit a 4B) Brand sure that the forehead is lighter in tone than the hair (call back that when this moving picture is finished, the eyes, eyebrows and pilus will be the darkest parts). Notice the shadow nether Kobe's nose and shade it in fairly dark. (Exercise NOT PUT IN NOSTRILS....Kobe'due south olfactory organ slopes downwards...If you don't believe me, look at his puppet on the MVP's)

Step 12: Darken Kobe's moustache and shade his upper lip. Detect that the moustache is darker than the upper lip. Add another layer of tone to Kobe'southward optics and eyebrows with a darker pencil (4B...even 6B if you have ane)

Step thirteen: Starting time working the tones of the Lesser half of Kobe's face. Remember that light sources USUALLY come from to a higher place, meaning that the bottom half of a persons face is slightly more in shadow.

Footstep 14: It LOOKS like I only jumped ahead a lot.....but I really didnt. I used the tortillion to smudge the rest of the bottom half of Kobes face....I also shaded Kobe'due south lesser lip and his teeth. Kobe'due south lesser lip is slightly lighter in tone than his summit lip. For teeth, do not make solid, dark lines between the teeth. Use the reference image every bit a guide.

Step 15: Now it is time for the finishing touches. Use both the eraser and the pencil. Smooth out anything that looks crude.
