You will begin sketching out the wizard's face first on an angle. When you do this you need to make sure he looks old. So add the forehead wrinkles, nose and cheeks. Notice how the cheeks are puffy, this is because of age. Sketch in the mustache and

Description: Here is a lesson that I know many folks will enjoy and appreciate. It's something that i wanted to draw for a very long time in this manner but never really got around to it or had the energy to put into the concept I was looking for. I did a lesson on a wizard a long time ago, but it came out like crap so here is my redo on an easy wizard drawing that looks like your typical magician or wizard. As you can see he has the staff and mystical glass with the wispy smoke coming from the palm of his hand. There are so many different ways to draw wizards, but this is what I wanted. A traditional looking wizard with the purplish colored cloak and clothing. I do hope you like this lesson, it's not even going to be that complicated to recreate.
