The eyebrow is two curved lines over the each eye. Draw the eye as a circle partly below the eyebrow, the eyebrow is the upper eyelid, the lower eyelid is a darker line curving up at the outside away from the nose.

The upper mouth starts as two circles. The nose is like a letter "T" with a triangle in the center and the arms of the "T" curved up.

PRINTABLE NOTES


The body of the shark looks like an upside-down teardrop with a bent tail. Draw it using two long curving lines that wrap around and off to one side. The tail is four curving lines, two going out and back, and two going in . The top tail fin is much longer. Start the mouth as a rainbow arch shape.

When you have finished the basic shape, then start adding the details. There is a hump over the eye like an eyebrow. There are two long fins, shaped like skinny triangles but slightly curved.  There is a fin at the back, but only a little shows from the slight 3/4 view.

The teeth are not even; some are broken, and some are missing. There is space between the teeth, but there are rows behind too. The gums are ragged, so use jagged lines to draw the gums.

Don't forget the gills, they are just curved lines behind the mouth. There are three small fins underneath the shark's belly. There are two nostrils, which are not for breathing, but sharks have an awesome sense of smell.

Color him gray or blue. The underside is lighter than the top and the tail fin is dark but not black.

Worksheet for How to Draw a Hero Jumping Into Action.

To print just highlight this and send to your printer or save to your device to print later. Some printers work better if you drag the image to your desktop and print from there. If you have problems see the how to print tab above for some suggestions.

If you want to put some action in your drawings of superheroes here is a method that is easy and will help.

PRINTABLE PROJECT NOTES.


I suggest you start with a light pencil that you can erase easily and cleanly. You can switch to a darker one or markers later.

Begin with a jointed stick figure. We can all draw stick figures but go the next step and put dots for the elbows, knees, shoulders, hips, ankles, and then draw lines for the bones. It will look like a skeleton. Use this method to figure out the pose of the hero.

In my illustration I have him jumping with both feet off the ground, one leg is forward with the knee straight up and the leg is foreshortened; the other leg has the knee straight down and the lower part of the leg is behind the first. The shoulders are tilted, the hands are grasping a weapon, one hand is palm up and one hand is palm down.

Place the weapon before you get too far along but don't get caught up in detail just yet.

Once you are happy with the pose and the sense of action start to fill the figure out by adding the shape and the thickness of the muscle. Add clothes and armor last or drawing the figure will get lost inside of it and things just won't look right.

Keep the face simple. In my illustration the face is turned to the profile so it is seen from the side. The eyes are half way down and the nose is halfway from the eyes to the chin and the mouth is halfway from the nose to the chin. Our hero's hair is blowing back since he is in motion. If you have problems with the face you can add a beard or some helmet.

Erase the extra lines. You can go over it in sharpie and then color it in like I did, in my example I used water colors.

Give him some enemies to jump over and fight, or have him jumping over a bridge that is collapsing, or a volcano.
