Step 1.


Draw a circle for the head and then add the guidelines for the arms.

Step 3.


Continue to work on getting the mask drawn out. This time you will tackle the back of the helmet and then draw in some more tubing like so. There is also a base piece that you need to draw in that covers or acts as the shoulders of the suit. Draw or    

Step 4.


Now you are ready to start drawing out the body. Begin with the shoulder, and then sketch out the whole right arm as well as the clutched hand or fist. You have to be sure to draw in the ring like wrinkles on the sleeve of the suit.

Description: So, I have been getting flooded with requests to do a lesson on another very popular figure from BioShock and this time it’s a hunk of metal. Today I will finally fill the request to make a tutorial on "how to draw Big Daddy", step by step. Here is a few things about this character I didn’t know about but I’m sure most of you BioShock fans do. First off, Big Daddy is a name for a series of humans that have been genetically altered to become these massive machines that are armored with heavy duty suits, and a drill like drive spike that is fused with the arm. The design concept for Big Daddies came from the idea of the old diving suits that used to be worn by divers. They are purposely constructed to look like hunks of brass that could totally pass for beings that live under the sea. These guys or figures from BioShock have been with the game series since their first debut. Marketers pumped up Big Daddy so much, when the game was first released, consumers where given a free six inch action figure of Big Daddy was included with the limited edition version of BioShock. Anyways, if you are amongst the many that are fans of this game series you should enjoy learning "how to draw Big Daddy" too. I will be back in a bit with more drawing fun. Adios peeps, and enjoy!
