How to Draw an Old Man
- Create the base of the figure
So, depict the outlines of the torso and head of this handsome old man. These are two rounded figures that together look like a keyhole.
- Draw the buttons and legs
You can draw any clothes to your taste. I drew a regular button-up shirt and straight pants. Compare the proportions and sizes of the legs with the head and torso.
- Draw the facial features
So, draw very simple eyes, nose and mouth. The eyes look like ovals, the nose and mouth are formed by literally a couple of curved lines
- Add facial details
To make this character’s face look more alive and complete, draw eyebrows, ears and a small line under the mouth as in my example.
- Draw a beard
This is a great way to show the age of the person you are drawing. The beard should cover the entire lower half of the face and even a little more.
- Add arms
Looks like something is missing, doesn’t it? Of course, you need to draw the arms, which are located on the sides along the body.
- Draw the character’s feet
This is one of the final steps. Draw small angular shapes to represent the shoes. The outer sides of these figures are rounded.
- Remove extra lines
Check out the old man’s drawing in its entirety. Evaluate the proportions and individual parts of the drawing. Correct mistakes and remove unnecessary lines.
- Color the drawing
Light solid colors are an excellent choice for clothing. Don’t forget to draw highlights inside the eye contours. The beard may be a very light shade of gray.
So, this was a lesson in drawing an old man. You can always add small details to make your drawing more personal. For example, you can change the size or shape of your beard. If you’re drawing a farmer, you might draw a typical hat or some kind of tool in the character’s hands, such as a rake or shovel.
In addition to this, you can draw additional details of the landscape. It could be a park or a cozy farm yard. Practice as often as possible and you will see your skill getting higher and higher.
