Captain America Step-by-Step Drawing Tutorial
Time needed: 50 minutes
How to Draw Captain America
- Sketch the head and torso of Captain America.
This is exactly what we did in other drawing tutorials about comics characters. But in this lesson i have a little detail. Here we need to outline the contour of the neck.
- Draw the arms and legs.
Of course, Captain America in realistic style is very muscular and relief. But we draw Steve Rogers in a simplified style for kids, so mark the limbs in the form of ordinary rounded figures.
- Detail the head of Captain America.
Now let’s work a little on the features of the superhero. Mouth and nose look like two simple short lines. Do not forget the visor and the logo in the form of the letter “A”.
- Add the shield and some details of the clothes.
First of all, draw the shield in the form of an oval. Next, draw a star in the center of the chest. Next, using simple lines draw the belts as in my example.
- Erase the guidelines from the head.
After erasing the guidelines draw the pupils as correctly as possible. In many ways, they define the expression of the look and the entire face.
- Erase the guidelines from the body.
After you erase all the auxiliary lines, do not forget to outline the lines of the drawing to give them a more comic-style look.
- Detail the shield of Captain America.
Erase all unnecessary auxiliary lines from the shield, draw circles and a star in the center as shown in my example.
- Add some colors to your Captain America drawing.
Let’s paint our hero in the traditional colors of the Star-Striped Flag. Please note that the lower parts of the helmet are dark blue.
