Description: This is a tutorial that has been long over due and requested by a ton of users. The character that I am gonna show you "how to draw Axel" from Kingdom Hearts 2. Axel is by far a very popular character from this awesome game. I don’t own the game as of yet but I intend to buy Kingdom Hearts 2 very soon. I play the game at my cousin’s house and let me tell you it is so fun and awesome. Now Kingdom Hearts 2 is the sequel to the first Kingdom Hearts. This Square Enix game combines fast pace action with the style of a typical RPG (Role Playing Game). What makes this game so incredibly popular is the story line and characters that are involved. Kingdom Hearts combines characters like Donald Duck and Goofy which are your typical American made creation. The three main characters of the game are; Sora, who is a fifteen year old boy that was chosen to be the master of a weapon called the Keyblade. This weapon holds the power to fight against darkness. Then there is Donald Duck who has the role of court magician to Disney Castle. And finally there is Goofy, he holds the position as the captain of Disney Castle guards. Those are the tree main characters. There are also characters that appear in Kingdom Hearts II like Cloud and Sephiroth and 13 other characters from the Final Fantasy saga. Where is Axel you ask? Before I tell you when Axel comes in the picture, I have to say that Axel is by far one of the most favorited as well as being one of the most recognizable members of Organization XIII. Axel holds the eighth spot in the Organization and his signature weapon is the Chakram which emits the element of fire. Axel has a very unique look and a very recognizable one as well. His hair is fiery red and styled in a spiky fashion, he wears a long black coat that looks almost like a cloak, and he has two purple reverse teardrop shapes under each eye. Now in Kingdom Hearts II Axel is first introduced in Twilight Town and then it takes off from there. Axel has a lot of questions roaming around in his head like, “why does Sora have a Keyblade” and why does he feels compelled to follow Sora where ever he goes. Ultimately Axel has to except the Organization's orders to eliminate Roxas or be destroyed himself. I really can’t get into the game because I would be here for hours on end. If you are a big Kingdom Hearts fan then you already know the story line and what needs to be accomplished by all parties. This tutorial will show you how to draw Axel from Kingdom Hearts 2 step by step. The instructions are easy to follow which means you will be drawing Axel in now time at all. I will be back in a bit with more tutorials on some of my favorite characters that I am into this month. So stick around and stay busy until I return.
