Samurai is a Japanese warrior of the Middle Ages.
Who are samurai
Samurai selflessly served their master and were ready to give his life for him without hesitation. They were distinguished by an effective fencing technique, fidelity and a complete absence of the fear of death.
They were courageous, but at the same time wise and balanced people who were trained by a senior mentor, comprehending all the wisdom of the ministry of the old man.
That was the samurai warrior. How to draw it, consider below.
Draw a samurai together
Prepare a sheet of paper, a simple pencil and an eraser. Now you will learn how to draw a samurai with a pencil in stages.
- Sketch the figure of a samurai according to the principle: the oval - the head, body and limbs - are just segments. The left arm is bent at the elbow. The legs are straight. This will be a standard static pose.
- Now we must begin to work out the body of a warrior. Draw a neck - a short cylinder, shoulders. Take care of your hands. Break each segment into five parts: designate the shoulder, elbow joints and hands in small circles. The shoulders and forearm are long cylinders.
- Shape the torso, which should taper slightly to the bottom. The lower part, on the contrary, should expand to the base. Also mark the feet.
- Draw facial features. This can be done schematically without going into details, since this is not a portrait. To properly position your eyes and nose, you need to know one simple rule: eyebrows should be in line with the upper part of the ears, and the lower part of the nose should be on the same level as the earlobes. Lips draw as a slightly curved down strip. The samurai's gaze is intense and stern.
- Add the details of the clothes every samurai wore. How to draw his vestments? First of all, this is the upper samurai vest, which is called haori, it has the shape of an inverted triangle. The upper part is very wide and even covers the shoulders.
- Behind the belt is a samurai sword hidden in a sheath - a katana. The left hand tightly grips the hilt of the sword.
- From under the Haori, draw loose, slightly flared sleeves, in your right hand you can draw a fan. Erase all support lines on the upper body and arms.
- A full-fledged samurai is almost ready. How to draw the top, you already know. It remains to work on the legs. Japanese wars wore spacious trousers called hakama. This will greatly simplify your work, since there is no need to draw the shape of the legs and some muscles. Shoe your warrior in traditional Samurai shoes, reminiscent of flip flops.
