OVERVIEW
Do not get upset if horses or chariots or solder are imperfect; when animals and men charge into battle, things lose their shape since muscles are tense, and action changes the perspective a little.

BEGINNINGS
Start by drawing lightly at first so you can erase it later.

Use a guideline to keep the wheel and horse's hooves on level with the ground.

Develop the composition with a stick figure to pose the solder and basic shapes to form the chariot and horses. Use basic shapes like rectangles, circles, and squares to design the horses.

 Keep things loose at this point.

Use a triangle for the chariot and circles for the wheel. (You can trace around a coin for a perfect circle.)

DEVELOPING FORM
Draw around the stick figures to give them fullness. Rember the muscles in the arm. Don't try to draw the armor until after the body is right.

Give the horses curves on the body.

DETAILS
After developing the design, add the details like armor, bridle, a lion's face on the chariot, and weapons.

Use a ruler for the straight lines.

Draw circles for the inside of the wheel and the hub. Draw guidelines all the way through the hub for the spokes, so they are evenly spaced.

Keep the face and hands simple.

ENVIRONMENT
Add an environment, like the countryside, battle scene, or arena.

SHADING
Use shading technique to give the scene roundness. Put a shadow below the chariot and horses.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

PRINTABLE NOTES.

BEGINNINGS
Start by drawing lightly so you can erase it later.
Unless you are copying a picture, you need to come up with some ideas to make the drawing interesting and unique.  I like to use the freeform technique to get ideas. Scribble and draw shapes randomly on a practice sheet of paper. I even turn it right side or upside down to make sure it is random. This should only take a minute or two.

Next look at the mess you made and pick out shapes and lines that might make an interesting picture. Go over those lines with a darker pencil. This should give you some ideas. Sometimes you have to do this two or three times before you get enough ideas. You may need to go to a new piece of paper and use the ideas to make the actual drawing.

The neat thing is that you do not need to worry about drawing a straight line since it is old and crumbly the crooked line could be an old tower just about to fall.

Draw a line straight across the bottom for where it is on the ground, remember things nearer are lower on the ground and the things behind are a little higher.

ADD DESIGN FEATURES.
Use arches for windows and doors.  Have the windows show what is on the other side like part of a far wall. Have the doors show part of a wall inside. Put some things behind other things.

TEXTURE
Use short wiggly lines for the stones that make up the wall. There will be more of them and darker ones in the walls closest to you and fewer lighter lines for the walls behind.
Use small "V" shapes for ivy plants creeping up the wall

Use shading technique to make things stand out. Use light and dark contrast to help things stand apart.

FINISHING TOUCHES.
Put bushes and dead trees around the scene.
Draw a background with some low hills or forest.

I hope you create a masterpiece

PRINTABLE NOTES

Start by drawing lightly so you can erase later.

BEGINNING
Use an articulated stick figure to work out the pose. An articulated stick figure is one with the joints like elbows and knees.  You see in the example the left arm was drawn over since the first pose didn't seem right.
Don't just have him standing there give him some drama by a pose that shows action.
Note that the hand that is raised is palm forward, fingers over and coming down in front and thumb back.

One arm will be hidden by the shield but we draw it anyway so we will know where to put the shield so it looks right.

FATTEN HIM UP
Go around the stick figure to give the arms, legs, and torso some muscles. Use ovals to get the shape of the muscles.
The front of the leg is a straight line.
The knees and hands are boxy and straight lines.
The feet are like triangles.

Erase extra lines and develop the outline of the man.

CLOTHING.
Draw the clothes over the body. Take your time with the clothes. He has a long chainmail shirt over a tunic, he has wool pants, fur-lined boots, a helmet gloves belts, and a pouch.

DETAILS
Keep the face simple. The mustache covers the upper lip and the beard hides most of the face.
Draw the sword as a long line then draw two lines one on each side so it stays even. don't make it too fancy.
Use a lot of short lines going different directions for the fur in the boots and his cloak.
Use a lot of little 'Us' for the chain mail. This will take longer but will make it look good.

PRINTABLE NOTES. 

Start by drawing lightly so you can erase later.

BEGINNING
Start by drawing an articulated stick figure, that is a stick figure that has the joints like wrist, elbows, knees.  Use a guideline so the foot and knee both touch the ground or else one will be higher than the other.
The head is an oval.

Take your time to make sure you get the pose right.

After the pose is made right, draw around the stick figure to fill out the body, use curved lines to show muscles.

DETAILS
The face is in profile start it as a curved line. Halfway down make a guideline for the eyes, below that, make two more for the nose and mouth. Use straight lines to give the face a rugged look. The eye is tilted down and only a little part of the pupil shows under the upper eyelid to make him look like he is looking up.

The hand has the thumb on top and four fingers wrapped around the sword. The back of the hand is slightly curved, the fingers are not the same length. The fingertips are slightly square.

ARMOR
Draw the armor around the body. The elbows and knees are a series of triangles. The shield looks like an upside-down teardrop. Use a ruler to keep the lines of the sword straight. Practice the dragon on a separate piece of paper and trace it onto the shield.

Finish the story. He could be pledging his sword to God, or king, or a beautiful maiden. Work out the story on another piece of paper and then trace in into the picture.

PROJECT NOTES.

BEGINNING

Start by drawing a large circle for the top of the bell and an oval horizontally underneath. Add a few lines to connect the two to make the basic shape of the bell. Don't forget the clapper- the circle inside the oval.
Draw a larger circle for the arch of the bell wall and crossbar for the bell to hang from; a few short choppy lines will give the bar a rough wood look, don't forget the shadow underneath. 

After getting the bell and arch established, take a moment and look things over to make sure it is even and square.

DEVELOPING FORM
Make the stone wall by first drawing very lightly some horizontal lines to serve as a "grid" for the stones to be drawn in. Make sure the light reference lines are straight. Draw each stone slowly and carefully. Leave spaces between the stones; this will look like the mortar holding them together.

DETAILS Make a shadow under the bottom of each stone; this will make them look three-dimensional.
Shadow in the areas that need it, such as the inside of the bell, and use a gradual deepening shadow to make the bell look round.

If you are working with color, I suggest the stone can be some pale red and orange.  Make the sky beyond the bell a pale blue and the bell itself green.  Erase any leftover marks.

PRINTABLE PROJECT NOTES

BEGINNINGS
Start with an articulated stick figure, that is a stick figure with the major joints- it looks like a skeleton. Draw the head as an oval. Since Poincianas was a youth we draw her head a little bigger than an adult might have been.  One shoulder is higher than the other.  One leg is straight down and the other is crossing behind it as if she is walking. The forward leg is more centered as she is putting her weight on it. The foot is a large circle at the heel and a smaller one at the ball connected by a line.

FILLING HER IN
Over the stick figure draw ovals to build up the thickness of the arms and legs. The shoulders taper down slightly and are slightly rounded where at the shoulder joint. The bicep (upper arm muscle) is short and rounded, the triceps (at the back of the arm) is long. The arms are narrower at the wrist. Draw an oval for the calf muscle but the front of the leg is straight. Go around the shapes to give the lines a graceful flow.

FACE
Keep the face simple. Use guidelines to keep things even. One guideline goes down the center but slightly to the side since she is turned a little. Use a guideline halfway across for the eyes, then halfway between the eyes to the chin for the nose, and halfway from the nose to the chin for the mouth.
FAR EDGES.
She is turned slightly so the far cheek is showing. Start with straight lines; Down and out slightly for the edge of the forehead, curved in slightly for the eye socket, out sharply for the cheek, down and inward for the far jaw and sharply up and back to the ear for the near jaw.
EYES.
Use a curving line for the top of the upper eyelid and draw a circle below it for the eye, the top of the circle will be cut off by the upper eyelid.  The eyebrow is an arch that is thicker near the nose and thinner as it goes toward the edge of the face.
NOSE
The nose is turned up slightly since she is still young. Start with a long line from the eyebrow and go down and out, then a short line back in. Keep a space between the nose and the lip.
MOUTH
The upper lip is all shadow. it is like the letter "M" spread out.  The lower lip is indicated only with a short curved shadow underneath.
HANDS
Keep the hand simple. If your drawing is small just draw them like mittens. If you have space to give the hands detail use the method described above of drawing a hand skeleton first and then going around the lines to fill them out.
FEET
Go around the circles and lines of the stick figure to get the basic shape of the foot, and add a few lines as if the stitches of moccasins.

CLOTHING AND STUFF
Historical resources show the Indians of that time wearing simple leather skirts or toga style dress, so keep it simple to be historically accurate. There were simple patterns painted on their clothes. The is evidence that they wore a band around the head with feathers on the front. The bodies were painted or tattooed with circles, dots, and lines. The skirt would have a split on the sides so she could run and hunt.

DO THE HAIR LAST
Give her long black hair that has some shiny areas in it.

PRINTABLE NOTES

BEGINNING
Start by drawing lightly so you can erase later.

Draw an articulated stick figure to give him the right pose. The stick figure should have joints at the knees and elbows. The figure is sideways with one foot forward toward you and one arm out toward you, it will look short but that is perspective. The other arm back out of view.  The head is low and the chin almost touching the shoulder.

DEVELOP FORM
After you have the basic pose worked out then go around the stick figure and draw the shapes of the arms, legs, and body. Keep drawing lightly or be ready to trace onto fresh paper.

CLOTHING
The leggings are tight on his skin. The boots go almost to the knees and have a flap folding over the top. The shirt doesn't show except for the collar and the sleeve on the arm facing forward. The leather jerkin over the shirt has rectangular fringes on the waist and the shoulder. A belt goes around the waist, another belt goes over the shoulder to the sword.

FACE
Keep the face simple. Give him a short pointy beard. Draw a line under the lower lip for the shadow. Use a dash for the eyebrows. Draw a thin line for the eyes, with a dot at the outside near tip so it looks like he is looking at you.  The face is turned slightly away so the nose is to one side and the far eye is partly hidden.

Hand the hand starts out boxy. The thumb points up, draw three short lines inside the boxy shape from the outer edge to halfway across, it will look like fingers

DETAILS
The far hand is almost hidden from view just draw a curving line for the top shape and a line for the fingers.

Take your time with the weapons. Draw the curve of the bow all the way, after you have the length and curve right go back and draw the tapering shape of the bow. The sword is almost at the back. Take your time with it. Don't try to draw every arrow in the quiver just give the basic shape and the impression of a lot of arrows.

Use a lot of color, mostly browns and greens with black for accents. Use shading technique to give it roundness.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

PRINTABLE NOTES

BEGINNINGS
Start with a basic shape of the head without the hair, it looks like an egg with a narrow point for the chin. Use guidelines to help keep things straight. One will go down the face but a little to the left side. Draw another guideline for the eyes, this will be halfway from the top of the head to the chin. Draw another guideline halfway from the eyes to the chin for the nose, and a last halfway from the nose to the chin for the mouth.

DEVELOP FORM
The face is turNED three-quarter view so the left side shows the brow, the cheek the curve of the upper jaw, and the lower jaw. These are lines that start at the hairline first going outward a little for the eyebrow, then inward slightly for the eye socket, then out a little farther than the eyebrow for the cheekbone, then in and down with a bump for the upper jaw and teeth, last it curves down under the chin and curves up to the right jaw hinge just under the right ear.

DETAILS
The eyes are looking up so draw the top of the eye like an arch or a rainbow. The bottom is straight with a slight curve up. Use some small coins to trace around for the iris of the eye so they both match. The pupal of the eye is far up and only a little of it is showing.

The nose is a curving line like a backward "S" but keep it thin. The bottom of the nose is turned up, but don't draw it use the shading technique for it.

The mouth is far to the left since the face is turned away. The top lip is thin and mostly in shadow so use shading technique to draw it. The bottom lip is two ovals in the middle and then stretched out at the ends.  Do not make both sides of the mouth equal since the face is turned away, so the left side is smaller and the right side is longer. the mouth almost touches the far edge of the face. Perspective does all this.

The eyebrows are simple and straight.

Draw the hair last, it is short almost boy-like. The armor has straps at the top and pieces that fold over on the shoulder, draw rectangles and triangles for these. She was often shown with a wooden cross around her neck or a banner.

If you have trouble making the file below to print, then see the how-to-print tab above for some suggestions.

PROJECT NOTES YOU MAY PRINT

The 3D is seeing not only the front of the object but turning it to see the side angle also.

BEGINNINGS
I start with a ruler. Some people do not think an artist needs a ruler, but a ruler is a tool, and every craftsman uses tools. Use a ruler to draw the lines straight and start with a light pencil to draw lightly since you will need to erase some of the lines.

DEVELOP FORM
This project requires attention to keeping lines parallel to make it look good. Draw two parallel lines going up and down for the shaft of the cross and then two parallel lines going across for the crossbeam. It is OK if they cross over each other since you are still drawing lightly and will be erasing later. Draw lines to close off the ends and the top and bottom. This should be a basic flat cross.

Use the ruler to measure both sides of the crosspiece to make sure it is not lopsided.

THE SIDE VIEW
To begin the side view that makes the 3D effect use the ruler to draw five diagonal lines from the top corners going down at an angle all going the same way. These angle lines are at the very top of the shaft, one at the top of the crosspiece, and three under the crosspiece. Last, draw the lines the make the backside edges. These will start at the short angle lines.

DETAILS
Many people add the sign on the top, or the nails, or the crown of thorns. Some add the shroud draped over the crossbeam. Put in the background with some long wavy lines for the near hills and some choppy lines for the distant mountains.

How to Draw a Viking Face. by MrAdron.

Here is a link to a file that may print better, CLICK HERE.

PROJECT NOTES YOU MAY PRINT

OVERVIEW
This Viking face is a man's face with a short beard. He is wearing a helmet that has a slight point and nose piece.

Every head has a different shape but this one is hidden by the helmet and the beard so it is almost impossible to make mistakes.

BEGINNINGS
Draw a large oval for the head. Use guidelines to keep things even. Place a guideline straight up and down for the center. Draw a guideline halfway down across the face for the eyes. Place a guideline halfway between the eyes and the chin for the nose and one halfway from there to the chin for the mouth.

ADDING FEATURES
The eyes are on the guideline halfway down. The tops are like arches drawn with straight lines; first up, then over, then across. The lower eyelid is almost straight across but just a little curved. Draw a shadow below. Draw a shiny spot before you do the iris or the pupil.

The nose is partially hidden by the helmet nose piece. Draw two lines like the parenthesis for the outer nostril shape and a line like a slight "V" between them.

The upper lip is hidden by the mustache, the lower lip is more of a shadow below going across.

HAIR AND BEARD
The hair is stringy. Do not try to draw every line, just get the shape. Not all Vikings had long hair, so this one has his hair- just collar length. The hair does not just go down but poofs out a little from under the helmet. Draw the bottom edge of the hair and the beard with a lot of short choppy lines. Then have a few long lines going all the way.

HELMET
Save the helmet for last. The helmet is not rounded but has a slight point. It is wider than the head. Draw an arch over the head but give it the slight point. There are metal straps going around it and over the top, draw them as double lines. Draw the nose piece with a rectangle. Add circles for the nails.

FINISHING TOUCHES
Give him some scars. Use shading to give the face a rounded look.

CLICK HERE for a file in PDF format.

YOU MAY PRINT THE PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

BEGINNING
Some people start on the humpback but that is only a minor detail, so save it for later on even last. Do the face first because the story is in the expression and the pose. Draw a large oval or egg shape for the head, make sure it is leaning over on one side. Draw a guideline down the center to help reference things. Use a stick figure technique for the arms, shoulders, and hands to get the pose right. Because he is hunched over and leaning forward the shoulders look like they are at his ears.

DEVELOPING THE FACE
Since the face is deformed it is OK if things are off-center.
     * The eyes are halfway down and are just two curved lines going down with half circles below.
     * The nose is like three large circles in the middle of the face.
     * The mouth is almost like a lopsided triangle.
     * Make the upper lip like the letter "m."
     * The ear is big and sticking out of the side of the head.
     * The hair is only above the ear and a little above the forehead.
     * Give the face wrinkles and two or three baggy chins by drawing curving lines.
     * Put a few warts here and there.
     * Give him three teeth on the top and on the bottom.

BODY
Use large circles and ovals to go around the stick figure form and fill out the arms and shoulders. After the form looks right sketch over it the shirt and tunic. Keep the hands simple they are mostly seen on the side. The thumb is at the back and sticks up over the top.

THE SCENE
Draw the arch behind him and the part of the bell showing behind the arch. The balcony railing is full of fancy decorations start them as circles and then connect the circles into decorations. Fill in the spaces between the decorations with arches and lines.

How To Draw A Roman Legion Soldier Worksheet

How to draw a Roman Legion soldier drawing lesson and printable worksheet. 

This project is a how-to-draw an ancient Roman Legion foot soldier. I researched and have tried to make it historically accurate without too much challenge to the young artist. The Roman Legionnaire is a simple basic figure with military details like armor, shield, and weapons.

BEGINNINGS
Use the stick figure technique to draw a man standing. Use circles for the major joints and bend the arm at the elbow. Add in the line for the spear and a large rectangle for the shield.

DEVELOP FORM
Around the stick figure add the thickness of the arm and the leg. Draw the torso as a boxy rectangle.

HELMET AND ARMOR
The helmet is a half-circle on top. It has a bold line across the brow. The helmet has two side guards that cover the cheeks, they are drawn with curved lines. Behind the helmet is a neck guard, only the edges show out of the sides like narrow triangles.
The body armor is a series of rectangles that come over the shoulder and another set of rectangles that wrap the body. They have buckles in the middle.
The kilt looks like a skirt that goes almost to the knee. It is leather strips that look like long rectangles

HAND
The hand is wrapped around the spear so you are looking at the back of the hand. Draw it like a square but curved outward no the side toward the solder. The thumb is on the backside of the spear just draw a half circle where it comes across.

WEAPONS
The spear has two parts, the wooden shaft, and the metal lance. Use a ruler or straight edge to draw this so it looks good.
The short sword hangs on a belt that comes down from behind the shield. The sword is a rectangle and goes from the waist to the knee, at the bottom is a triangle. The hilt is simple, a circle on the top, the grip curves inward slightly and there is a short crosspiece.
The shield has a metal edge, draw the edge as two parallel lines that go around the shield. In the middle of the shield is a metal round piece, draw it as a circle with a square around it. The shields were decorated, so draw lightning bolts or eagles or lions on it.

FACE
Keep the face simple. Make the jaw and chin square. Draw eyebrows as a thick straight line. Draw the eyes as straight lines with dots below. The nose is a line going down and over a little bit. The mouth is a straight line with a little downward dash at the end.

FEET
The feet are like rectangles but a little pointed on the large toe. The sandals have three straps going over and two straps wrapping around the ankle.

Draw the cape last.

Our version of St Patrick has a short bishop's hat and a beard. The temptation is to draw them too soon and not have a well-developed face as a result, so save the beard and hat until the face is satisfactory.

BEGINNINGS
Start drawing light so you can erase later. Draw the basic shape of the face as an egg or oval. Draw three guidelines across the face. The first will divide the face in half from the top to the bottom, here is where we will position the eyes. Draw another guideline halfway frrm the first to the bottom for the nose and draw one more from that to the bottom for the mouth. Use a guideline down the center to help keep things even.

FACE
EYES. The eyes touch the bottom of the first guideline, they are evenly spaced apart and have as much space between them as they are wide. The iris are circles, draw them completely then draw a curving line over the top of them for the upper lid. There are a lot of wrinkles around the eyes since he is old.
NOSE. The bottom of the nose dips down so start it as a "U" shape. On both sides draw parenthesis ( ). Use shadow technique to shade under the nose and on the side of the face away from the light. The ridge of the nose is narrow but do not draw it- use shadow technique on the side away from the light to indicate this.
MOUTH.   The upper lip is covered by the mustache so only the bottom lip showing. The bottom lip is like two ovals sideways that partly overlap in the middle. The bottom is in shadow so use shading technique.
EARS. The ears are partly hidden by the long hair only the bottom lobs show they are just a pair of curving lines
WRINKLES. There are deep wrinkles around the mouth, and light wrinkles under the eyes, beside the eyes, between the eyes, and across the forehead.

BEARD AND HAIR
The beard is a series of wavy lines going down to an pair of uneven points. The hair is wavy and starts on the forehead above the eyebrows and go out to beside the ears and curls under below the ears. Draw the hair with wavy lines.

SHADING
The light comes from one side and makes shadows on the other this give it depth.

CLOTHING
The bishops hat is shaped like a diamond. It is divided in third with a cross in the middle. Color it green. He has a robe and a cloak they are green with white.

BASIC
The face of Don Quixote is long. Start with an oval and use some guidelines. One guideline will go down the face a third away from the right edge; it is not center since we are drawing a face turned away at a three-quarter view. Draw a guideline across the face halfway down for the eyes. From the eyes go halfway for the nose and below the nose draw another for the mouth.

DEVELOP
The eyes are old and droopy. The upper eyelids incline downward at the outside. Under the eyes are curved lines and bags. There are wrinkles on the outside of the eyes.
The nose is big, and the end droops down.
The upper lip is covered by the long pointy mustache; use many lines going down to draw it- don't just outline it. Same for the pointy beard on the chin.
The lower lip is two curved lines.

ARMOR
Draw the helmet and armor last. The helmet is simple. It is just some curved lines.
The chain mail is easy if you use some guidelines evenly spaced in rows, then fill in the rows with curved lines for the chain links.
The armor is only outlined in our example.

SHADOW
Use shading to make different parts stand out. Make the chain mail darker than the face, and make the areas around the beard darker, so the beard looks brighter. Put shadow under the brim of the helmet. There is a shadow around the eyes, under the jaw, and under the nose.

FINAL TOUCHES
Put some wrinkles across the forehead and between the eyes.
Draw a wrinkle or two from the side of the nose to the outside of the mouth.
Use shading technique to add flabbiness to the neck.
Smudge the armor with a pencil or scribble little areas and add dots to show it is old and worn out.

YOU MAY PRINT THE PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

BEGINNING
Begin with just the boat shape. It curves across the top and comes to a point at the front; the back is straight up and down.  There is a raised deck at the front and a double step-deck at the back.

MAST
Lightly draw the mast without the sails first; this will help to place the sails correctly. The mast are thick so use two lines, one for each side. Use a ruler or straight edge to keep them straight; they were wider at the bottom. There are two major masts; one in the center and one is halfway from the center to the front. There is a smaller mast at the back and a tilted mast at the very front.

There are two cross beams on each big mast. A small cross beam is at the top, and a long one is at the center of the mast. The little mast at the front and back each has one cross beam. The back cross beam goes up and down at an angle.

SAILS
The sails would be rectangular except the blowing wind and stretching makes them taper to points at the bottom corners. The top sales are wider at the bottom and very narrow at the top. Where they connect to the cross beams, the sails dip in a series of "U" shapes.

DETAILS
There are four cannon ports low on the side.
The side has several lines going from front to back.
There is a ledge below the mast on the outside of the ship where the rigging connects.
The flags are The Dutch Cross on the front mast and the British Union Jack on the second mast.
There is a railing around the decks.
The rudder is a curved line and a vertical line going down.
The water in the foreground should be darker, and the water in the distance should be lighter.

The tower is a cylinder made out of stones.

START
Start with a basic cylinder shape, this is a rectangle standing up, but not flat on the top since perspective makes the top looked like a slight curve.

Near the top, the walls bend outward in a flair shape. At the top are cutaways in the walls, draw them like rectangles. The top has arches under the edge. The top of the cutaways slope outward, (so rain will drain down and out.)

Decide where you are going to put any windows and lightly draw them in.

FILLER DETAILS
The stones are wider at the bottom since many castles used stronger types of stone for the base and lighter smaller stones higher up. Draw guidelines across the tower making sure they arch slightly.  Divide the lines into stones by drawing vertical lines between them. Do not make a checker pattern but draw the lines so they skip a row. None of the lines need to be even. The vertical lines are spaced wider apart at the middle and closer together toward the edges so the tower looks round.

EXTRAS
The roof would be made out of wood to give the guards shade. It is a cone, draw it as a triangle with a curved bottom. The curve matches the curve of the tower top. The roof is held up by wooden beams, use straight lines to draw them.

At the top of the tower is the smaller "signal" tower, it is behind the roof. It may have two or three signal flags on it. Draw it with less detail since it is far away.

Add shadow to make the roundness look more believable.

The tower can be by itself, on a rock, connected to a castle wall, or connected to a bridge.
