Description: Now I know you guys think I’m doing double the tutorials when I submit two of the same lesson. The truth is, when I make a tutorial I also make a video drawing lesson that has me narrating as I go through each step verbally so there is more understanding with how to draw something. Anyways, this is going to be another repeat tutorial, and the reason why I say that is because I already have a lesson on "how to draw Altair" from the hit video game Assassins Creed. In the lesson I submitted about a year ago, I talked all about Altair and who he was and how he got started as a dangerous assassin. It’s kind of hard to go into detail all over again with a character that you already wrote about a while back. There isn’t anything new I can tell you about him, but there is a different way I can show you "how to draw Altair", step by step. I have really gotten the hang of making steps to appear easier, and more understandable. That is one of the reasons why I do more of the same thing sometimes. Anyways, have fun with this submission, I mean how often do you get a chance to draw Altair using a step by step tutorial guide? Peace out people!
