My Third Blog: To Draw Kirito from SAO

Week 3: Kirito

Step 1: Start out with a simple drawing of Kirito's head and neck. Make sure that while drawing his forehead, the left side goes further out. Draw his eyes, mouth, ears, and nose after that. Then draw a "v" between the eyes and draw a thick line between the ear and the right eye. Once you are done with that draw a small curved line from the "v" to the left curve on his head. After all that, draw some of his coat and a little bit of his arm. Make sure the coat ends around the tip of his chin.

Step 2: Draw the strap on his chest from his left arm to his right arm, and to his shoulder. In between those, put a circular triangle with holes in each part. After that you can add more detail to the face. For the hair add a few thick curves on the top and left side of his head, this will make it so the hair looks more realistic. Draw a thin strip coming out of the "v" , and add a few lines going towards the left side of his face and some coming out of the side. Once you are done with that, add a few lines going towards the right side of his face making sure that you are covering his ear. The final part of the hair is adding a couple spikes going to the right side, but also going up a little.

Step 3: Add details to his shirt. Give it front pockets, put the metal piece on his right arm, and draw his undershirt. On the part of his shirt where it goes up draw another rectangle and a few lines coming down from it. Finally draw the other side of his hand by following the steps for the right.

 

Step 4: Shade all of his jacket the same shade which is a light black. Then on the metal part, shade it so it is a very light grey. Shade his hair the same shade as his jacket, then at the back of his hair shade it a little darker. Erase a small line coming across his hair but keep the middle shaded. Lightly shade over his eyes and face. Then you are done.
