How to draw Hulk
- Draw the Hulk’s base
Begin by drawing an oval for the Hulk’s head and a large, rounded trapezoid for the torso. This outlines the shape of his upper body, giving an indication of the Hulk’s broad shoulders and imposing stature. Make sure to add a horizontal and vertical guideline across the face to assist in placing facial features in later steps.
- Add the limbs.
Extend the trapezoid into a rough hourglass shape for the body and add cylindrical arms and legs. Draw larger, rounded hands to emphasize the Hulk’s bulk and strength, and feet as simple, angled ovals. The arms and legs should reflect the Hulk’s muscular build and stance.
- Draw the face details.
In this step, start detailing the face with the eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouth. Make the eyebrows furrowed, indicating Hulk’s characteristic angry expression. Add ears on either side of the head, and sketch hair along the top. These details give the Hulk his iconic look, contributing to the cartoon style.
- Sketch the outlines of muscles and clothing.
Refine the body by emphasizing the lines around pectoral muscles and deltoid muscles of the arms.. Then, sketch jagged lines on the legs to represent torn pants, showing his transformation from Bruce Banner. This stage introduces key features to the drawing.
- Finalize the Hulk’s face.
Complete the Hulk’s face. Refine basic facial features such as eyes, nose and mouth. Add pupils and small but important details such as wrinkles and folds around the mouth.
- Refine all final lines of the torso.
Define the muscles more clearly, drawing lines to suggest the Hulk’s biceps and forearm muscles. Additionally, add creases and additional detailing to the pants to create depth and realism. This emphasizes the character’s physique and torn clothing.
- Clarification of all contours of the drawing.
Trace over the outlines and erase any unnecessary lines from the earlier steps, especially the lines of the legs and lower torso. This clarifies the overall form, giving a polished look and bringing the Hulk to life, ready for the final step.
- Color the Hulk.
Finally, add color to the drawing. Use a vivid green for the Hulk’s skin, a dark brown or black for the hair, and purple for the pants. By the way, did you notice that the Hulk always wears pants of the same color?

Red Hulk
In the diverse universe of Hulk characters, let’s not overlook the formidable Red Hulk, a striking adversary with a fierce rivalry against our green-skinned hero.
