How to Draw a Deer Head, Buck, Dear Head
1
Before getting started pick your pencils. I decided to use only 2 pencils for this drawing. I used an H for sketching and light shading/lines and a B for dark shading/lines.
2
Start out with a basic sketch of the deer's head. Use the guide lines if you are having trouble getting it just right. Keep the antlers simplified for now.
3
Finish up the sketching portion by developing the antlers a bit more. No need for details yet.
4
Use a blending stump or cloth to roughly shade in the background. This will make the foreground pop out more.
5
Go in and roughly shade in the deer itself. Try to blend out all of the white spots.
6
Start adding detail by working on the dark portions of the head first. The B pencil will come in very handy here.
7
Shade in the fur. Keep it more rough than smooth. Avoid blending here if you want a more realistic look.
8
Shade in the ears. Use the B pencil for dark lines and the H pencil for lighter lines.
9
Now, add some rough shading to the antlers. This will guide you as you add detail to them in the upcoming steps.
10
Shade in your antlers one at a time. You'll mainly use the H pencil here. I used the H to outline and define the antlers.
11
Shade in your the other antler and add a few final touches. I hope this tutorial was helpful for you if not, leave me a comment about what I should work on. Until next time!
