How to Draw Daryl, Daryl From The Walking Dead, Norman Reedus
1
Draw the oval and circle (that represents Daryl's hand) lightly with a No.2 or HB pencil. Make sure you draw it as seen in the picture.
2
Now draw in the bisecting red line to balance his facial.
3
Sketch lightly the crescent red lines for hair line and head mass. Also draw the wand looking line, representing that intimidating hunting knife.
4
You can draw in the lines a. for eyebrows, b. for eyes, c. for nose, d. for mouth, and e for shoulder placements.
5
Now draw Daryl's eyebrows, eyes, and don't forget the bags beneath his eyes.
6
Observe where Daryl's features appear in relation to the guidelines. Draw in the wrinkles in his forehead, nose, mouth, and beard.
7
Now draw in the outline of his face and add some hair growth on his chin.
8
When you sketch his hair, add those straight feathered lines. Try staying close to the lines that represent the direction of his hair. This will help as you shade it in.
9
Now draw in his neck and t-shirt with the folds.

I'm leaving the best for last. Now draw in his hand brandishing the hunting knife. Take you time. If you want more information on drawing hands, check out my tutorial at this link (copy and paste in your browser address field): http://www.dragoart.co

The picture that goes with this step shows two different ways to hold your pencil to acquire certain effects. OVERHAND: Holding a sharpened pencil in normal writing form with fingers in the middle or near the lead gives you great control and thin/det

PENCIL STROKES & TONE, SHADING, TEXTURE -- For your convenience, I have inserted this step with different pencils, strokes to use. And you can study the shapes that make up this drawing universe, along with tone, shading, and texture.
16
Best thing you can do when drawing hair is to establish the general shape then work in the main strands of hair by holding your pencil at a 45 degree angle for stroking and coverage. Then, as in the third picture, you can work in more details. But he

Before I started the pastel application, I erased dark outlines on the nose, lips, smiling lines for a more realistic shading. Now I can start with the pastel application. If you do the whole picture in a pencil sketch, this is where you would sketch

Here I used my blending stump to "draw" in more lines, add more shading to his hair eyebrows, nose, lips, neck, hand, knife and t-shirt. I needed to whiten areas like some hair strands and catch lights in his eyes, reflective light on his jaw and nos
21
I darkened in his hair, eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes, nose shadow, mustache, beard, neck and hand with my 0.7mm HB mechanical pencil. I defined his lips also. Blending his hair a bit with my blending stump after sketching, gave a more realistic look. I

Basically, I added more highlights with Opaque Watercolor to the catch lights in his eyes, hair strands and lined more medium gray detail on his T-shirt. TIP: I cloned this background from the reference pic to add drama for my introduction picture an
