Description: Well, It's been a while since I've submitted a really cool – fun lesson on ”how to draw Gundam”. I barely have any mecha type tutorials on DragoArt that have some sort of action-packed quality about them. Mecha is growing into something immense and popular in the anime universe these days. Personally, mecha isn't my cup of tea; drawing this was extremely time consuming and sort of uninteresting. I referenced a dynamic action pose from one of the Gundam Wing posters. I didn't really get most of the character spot on like the image was, but simple enough to where you're able to ”draw mecha”. To learn ”how to draw Gundam step by step”, you'll need to practice the core basics of mecha. I would recommend finding some helpful books on how to draw this particular class of anime. While at Borders, there was a reeling book on mecha perfect for this situation. Anyways, some of the shading was a bit of a hassle because of the 3-D type output of the character. Be sure to identify where your light source is coming from in order to color,shade and highlight properly. By practicing this paticular tutorial enough, you'll soon enable yourself to draw other Gundam Wing characters easier. Try different poses for these large characters; specifying the morals and direction that Gundam mechas will help guide you into drawing the right fanart. Ok peeps, It's time for me to submit other tutorials. I really hope this tutorial will venture you forward into challenging yourself to drawing your own mecha characters. Thanks for viewing and don't forget to leave feedback...and ratings!
