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 OUTLINE
The hand starts as almost a square. Roughly place the staff as two long lines that go through the square, so the fingers will be wider at the front.  The wrist is narrower than the hand, and the thumb edge of the hand slopes upward. The fingers are curved around the staff, so the back knuckles from the outside edge; draw this as a curving line that will go past the staff's edge. Use a second curving line to mark off the tips of the fingers.  You will be erasing these guidelines later.

DETAILS
The thumb is higher than the first finger. The first finger curves around a little. The fingers are not straight but bent a little where the knuckles are. There are wrinkles around the wrist and the back edge of the hand. There are wrinkles across the wrist, on the palm of the hand, and across the thumb muscle. Add the fingernails, and remember there is some finger on each side of the fingernail.

Use shadow to give the hand roundness.

Draw the staff with a lot of lines for the wood grain.

There are two shadow lines down the wrist for the tendons.

LESSON  NOTES

The castle gate is a collection of geometric forms arranged on the drawing and then detailed to create the desired scene.

BEGINNING
Use basic shapes of cylinders, rectangles and half circles to organize the basic outline. The towers on each side of the gate are forward a little so the bottom will be lower in the scene than the walls. The bottom of the tower curves downward and the top curves upward.

Use guidelines to keep things even, draw the guideline for the top and bottom of the wall all the way across, even across the towers, so both sides of the wall are even, you can erase the lines later. Use three guidelines for the tops of the towers and the wall so you can draw the shapes that are at the top of the wall.

The gate entrance is an arch draw it like a half-circle over a square.

FILL IT IN
Once you have the basic design worked out then add the details. The top of the towers and walls have rectangles, draw them lightly using the guidelines and when they are even, then go over them to make it look good. The top has a series of supporting round arch shapes, draw them under the rectangles and add a little decoration like a square or circle at the bottom of each.

The towers have some windows they are rectangular and narrow. The windows have large stone tops and bottoms, draw narrow rectangles for these.

The towers have a guard's door in the bottom. It is a rectangle inside an archway, this door gives a reference so you get a sense of size.

The gate opening shows the thick wide walls on both sides. The bottom of these walls tilt up to the vanishing point, they are in shadow. There may be a door inside one side for the guard. Add shadow on the ground. Draw something inside the castle-like buildings.

STONES
The ground has a stone road. Use a grid that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the gate to give the perspective. Then draw over the grid some stones but not all the stones in the road.

The walls are stones. Use a grid to keep things even and then draw some of the stones.

The towers are round the stones wrap around so use curving guidelines to draw them.

Put something inside the castle that you can see through the gate.

The hand has many parts, so we look for ways to make it simple.

PALM
The palm is like a square, but not exactly.  If you can't draw a perfect square, you have an advantage because the palm gets wider by the fingers and just a little narrow at the wrist. The top of the palm by the fingers is curved with a curve that goes across and a little extra down at the pinky finger end.

FINGERS
Before you try the fingers, use three sweeping guidelines to mark off each knuckle and the tips of the finger. This works for the three center fingers, but the pinky finger is further down.
The first one closest to the palm is a little longer than the other two bones. Each finger except the thumb is divided into three sections by the two knuckles. The muscle between these joints curves out a little. The bottom of the back is straight lines that may bend a little outward at the knuckle joints. The joints have wrinkles.

THUMB
The thumb has only two bones and one joint. The back part of the thumb starts by the wrist and curves outward; the inside part closest to the palm can look like it is in the middle more or less since there is a lot of skin that folds or stretches.

DETAILS
There are many wrinkles and lines in the palm, but add them carefully and don't overdo them.

There are some balls of bone at the base of the fingers; use the shading technique to show them. There are highs and lows in hand by the thumb muscle, a bowl of the palm, and the base near the wrist; use shading technique to show these, but again, do not overdo it.

These projects take hours to research, design and draw. They are free to print, but your small gift will help keep this blog going. Click on the Patreon link for a monthly membership or for a one-time-only contribution, use the DONATE tab or Paypal button. Thank you.

Some printers work better with a PDF file.  Click here for a link to a PDF file.

If you have problems printing,  CLICK HERE to visit the how to print page for suggestions.

YOU MAY PRINT THE PROJECT NOTES BELOW.

BEGINNING
The skull is almost round, so start with a circle. The view is turned slightly for interest so use a vertical guideline curving off-center to keep the angle right. The upper jaw is like a square below the circle.

THE EYE SOCKETS
The eye sockets are large and are about a third of the face. One eye socket is in full view; the other is partly hidden by the nose and cheekbone since it is turned away. The eye socket is not really a circle; the outer upper corner is slightly pointed. There is a ridge over the eye socket, show it by a shadow, and there is a ridge beside the eye shadow it in too.

NASAL
The nasal cavity (nose) is between the eyes and is like an upside-down "V" There is a thin bone inside sticking up.

TEETH
About eight teeth are showing. Use another guideline to keep them in a straight row. The two on the end are wide; the next one is pointed, then the rest are flat looking. The top of the teeth are rounded.

CHEEKBONE
Under the eye is the cheekbone; it goes back to the ear. Draw it as a shadow below and a shadow above.

CANDLE
The candle is a cylinder. The bottom is curved down and back up a little, the top is uneven, and there are blobs of melted wax on the side; they look like the letter "U," Don't overdraw the wax dripping down the skull, a few lines ending in a frozen drop will do. Have one drip hanging over the eye.

SHADOWS
Put dark shadow in the eye sockets and the nasal cavity. Use shadowing all around to make the skull look round. The skull is not smooth; there is texture, especially in the shadows, so use bumpy dotted marks to give it an old worn look.

FINAL TOUCHES
Make the background dark, so the skull looks white.
Have it sitting on a book; remember to keep all the lines parallel when drawing the book.

BEGINNING
Draw a basic outline of the Ankylosaurus. The body is an arch shape across the back and flat underneath. The tail is almost as long as the body. The rear legs are halfway between the tip of the nose and the tip of the tail; start with a stick figure technique to get the position right.  The head is a triangle shape.

ARMOR
Use three or four guidelines from the neck to the tail to keep the rows of armor even. Lightly draw 13 or 15 lines across to make a checker pattern. The armor on the back is bumps or spikes drawn in each piece of the grid. There are spikes on the edge; they are like triangles that are curved backward. They are smaller at the neck and bigger at the waist, and smaller at the tail. There is a club on the end of the tail

DEVELOP THE BODY
Draw the legs around the stick figure lines. Use a guideline to keep the feet level. The legs are thick. The belly sags a little.
The head has two spikes. One is behind the head going up, and one is at the bottom back of the jaw, pointing down and back.  There are two rows of bumps on the top of the head. The eye is under a thick eyebrow. The mouth has a downturn at the front like a bird beak.

FINISHING TOUCHES
Use shadows to make the far leg look like they are on the other side. Put shadows under the spikes and between the armor plates.

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.

BEGINNING
The body is like a sideways teardrop with the point at the head and the wide part for the hip. Draw it like an arch but a little lopsided and higher at the hind leg. The tail is a triangle that is at the back. Before you draw the feet draw a light guideline for the ground so the near feet are both level. The feet on the other side are a slight bit higher because of perspective.

HEAD
The head is a small circle with a triangle for the beak and a triangle for the jaw; it is long and narrow.

LEGS
Use the stick figure technique to start the legs and then go around them to fill out the form.  The foreleg is short and starts low. The elbow points backward and is near the chest. There is a small wrist or ankle above the foot.   There are three toes but only two are showing. The rear leg is long and starts high up almost at the back. The knee bends forward. The knee is low by the stomach.   Two toes show with claws.

PLATES
There are ten plates on the back. They are irregular diamond shapes. Use a guideline above the back for the tops of the plate and a second guideline for the point where the plates angle back. The plates are smaller on the neck and the tail. Some plates were curved back. There are veins going up the plates in a fan pattern.

DETAILS
There is a second row of plates on the far side. Only a part of each show, they are almost shadows.

There are four spikes draw the first two that are closest to the viewer and the far ones afterward make one far spike go behind and past a front spike.

The body has wrinkles like an elephant.

Use shading technique to give the Stegosaurus roundness and thickness.

TIP: save the fun stuff for last like the hat and the cauldron.

The challenge is to pose her as an old person stirring the pot so the hands show in a way that explains what she is doing.

BEGINNINGS
Use a stick figure technique to work out the pose so one hand is at the middle of the stirring ladle and the other is on top this way you show both hands. In the same way, put one foot behind the other.

The stick figure should have a very curved back since she is old. Use circles to indicate the location of elbows, shoulders, knees, and hips.

After the stick figure is satisfactory draw the form around the lines.

FACE
We keep the face simple and use choppy straight lines to give it character. Lightly draw an oval for the head. Use a guideline halfway down going across to place the eyes, another guideline halfway between the first guideline and the chin for the mouth.
     * The nose is large and bends down. The upper lip is two lines like a < under the nose.
     * The lower lip is like the letter C.
     * The mouth is two straight lines the first going back and the second short one tips up.
     * The chin is long and sticks down, it is three or four straight lines going down under and back.
     * The eye is looking down, the eyelid is one line curving down like an upside-down rainbow with a half-circle near the nose for the eye.
     * Put wrinkles under the eye, and outside the eye, outside the mouth, and under the cheek.
     * Don't forget a few warts and stray hairs on the chin.
     * Draw the hair last as a few straight lines going outward.

HANDS
Keep the hands simple. Use straight lines. The lower one is closer to the viewer and the back of the hand is drawn as a square with three short lines that indicate the fingers. The thumb is on the top and goes behind the ladle.
The far hand is on top of the ladle. Draw the thumb inside toward the witch and the fingers on the far side.

SHOES
She wears boots, draw them like boxes on her feet with rectangles for the heals.

CAULDRON AND CLOTHING
Now the fun and easy stuff. The cauldron is a half-circle with an oval for the top. It is on logs that are circles on the ends of rectangles. The fire is wiggly lines. Make the cauldron dark so the fire shows up. Use the shading technique to give it roundness by making the edges darker than the center.

Draw the clothing with straight lines and drape the clothing around the form by drawing around the stick figure. There will be wrinkles and folds where the elbows, waist and knees create angles in the clothing. The far sleeve is in shadow so it looks away from the near sleeve. Give her a scarf or shawl on the shoulder draping down the back or front.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

BEGINNINGS
Start by lightly drawing so you can erase later. Use broad strokes to make the basic shapes of a rectangle for the head, triangle for the jaw, huge jelly bean for the body, and ovals for the near leg. The tail is two curving lines that come to a point.

Use a stick figure technique to design and pose the tiny arms. The hands look like the letter "Y" sideways.

DEVELOPMENT
Round off the nose, and add some bumps for the eyebrow and nasal ridge. Give the mouth a crooked smile that goes up then down and back up. Draw around the stick figure of the arms and hands; save the claws and teeth for last- like a desert.

Go around the ovals for the legs and erase any extra lines there.

The feet are three claws, draw the closest one first. The second and third are hidden behind the first, only the tops show, just draw a simple line for each one. Give it some curve over the knuckles so the claws look powerful.

REFINE THE DRAWING
Add details such as the tiny eye and nostril.
The far leg and arm are a mirror image of the ones closer and are in shadow.
The teeth are irregular, some are longer and some are spaced far apart.
The body had wrinkles like modern lizards.
Use shading to give the legs muscle and roundness.

Do not get discouraged if your drawing of a Tyrannosaurus Rex does not turn out the way you wanted. You are learning and every time you draw something you are getting better. Draw every day, bookmark this page and come back every day and do another lesson, soon you will be an artist.

I hope you create a masterpiece!
