How to Draw a Boy
- Sketch out the head and torso.
The drawing begins with the creation of two basic shapes: an oval for the head and a rectangle for the body. The oval should be placed on top of the rectangle, touching it without overlapping.
- Draw the eyes of the boy.
Depict the eyes by sketching two small ovals within the head outline, positioned roughly in the lower half of the face oval. Than, Add bold edging to the tops of the eyes.
- Add the details for the head.
Refine the expression by adding eyebrows just above the eyes, and a tiny curved line for the mouth, placed in the lower half of the face. For the ears, draw two small half-ovals on each side of the head.
- Draw a hairstyle.
Sketch the hairline just above the forehead with a series of short, jagged lines to suggest the texture of the hair. Add a little spikiness to the hair by creating uneven lengths and angles.
- Draw the T-Shirt.
First, sketch out the neck with a rounded line, then the short sleeves. Keep the lines for the clothing simple and loose, avoiding too much detail so that the focus remains on the character’s face.
- Draw the arms.
Using a couple of simple lines depict the arms. Next, sketch out the bottom line of the shirt. This pose is as simple as possible for the artist – instead of hands, we see only a couple of smooth lines.
- Draw the legs.
Draw the character’s pants by extending two oblique lines down from the bottom of the shirt. These lines represent the legs and should be of equal length and width to maintain symmetry.
- Erase the guidelines.
At this point, we clean up any unnecessary guidelines from the initial steps to ensure the drawing looks neat. After that, feel free to start coloring.
- Color the boy.
Finally, add color and any remaining details to your character. You can choose absolutely any color to make the picture color and alive.
