Continue to sketch out the upper part of his body which is the upper muscular arms, and then his chest and wide ribcage. Sketch in his breast lining and add some nipples. Kratos is a very hearty character so be sure to sketch him that way.

Description: God of War is a video game that has gained so much popularity and because of that I thought I would make another tutorial on the main character of the game series. With my first tutorial of Kratos, I talked about his background and how he came to be the being he is today. This lesson is going to be based on teaching you "how to draw God of War", step by step. As you know there is a newer version of God of War that was released in March of 2010. God of War is is one player game and the character that can be played by the gamer is Kratos. He is a played as you go up against other characters which means you will go through combat, and you also go through puzzle aspects as you try and figure out how to open a door, or how to get down a tier and stuff like that. The game is strictly for the PlayStation console starting with the PS2, and the very first God of War came out in 2005. One of the things I like about the game is all the cool weapons that Kratos uses which are called the “Blades of Chaos”. His secondary weapon is the Blade of Artemis, and he also has some magical powers as well like Medusa's Gaze, Army of Hades, Zeus' Fury, and Poseidon's Rage. Overall I had a better time making this Kratos than I did with my very first depiction of him. That's because back a couple of years ago I was just starting to learn how to color using Photoshop. Now that I know pretty much a good majority of all the tricks and tools, I'm able to really get a good coloring job done. In the end I think you will enjoy learning "how to draw God of War", step by step. If there is some of characters you would like to see from one of your favorite video games, just let me know and I will do my best to fill your requests. Thanks for joining me with this tutorial and be sure to keep coming back for more drawing fun.
