Before we get to the real nitty gritty of drawing Gaara Shippuden, let's get the basics down first. Start by making a circle for the head and then add the facial guidelines. As I explained in previous lessons, the facial guidelines are used to help make the face symmetrical. Without these lines you will more or less try and eyeball if the eyes are even with other, if the nose is in the center of the face, so on and so forth. Next draw a neck line and attach it to the rectangular box shape which will later be Gaara's upper body. Add a triangular pyramid shape for the crotch, and then draw the shapes of the legs. Lastly, draw the half circle shape for the start of his gourd that is filled with sand.
