How to Draw Hannibal Lecter From Hannibal
1
Step 1 , cut a hole in the box..........just kidding . Begin by drawing the outline of the face and suit , along with the guide lines for the face . The second picture may look like Adolf Hitler but I assure you that was not my intention .Finish off
2
As you can see here , there are squares all on the sketch , why ? because I used grid sketching in order to make a perfect sketch . How do you do that ? Simple, get the picture you want to draw after, add squares using whatever program is in handy (I
3
Shading will be done differently from my other tutorials , doing overall layers of different shades of grey (kinky),just to get the feel of depth , I thought this might be easier way to shade . After this you can add details .
4
Layers , think of them as the foundation on which you can build a house or whatever .
5
This is the last layer shading step , although it looks very rough don't worry , there will be more shades of grey as you begin detailing different parts of the face at a time .
6
Details . Use a really dark pencil around the eyes and a kneaded erase to make the eyebrow effect .
7
Detail the space between the eyes and then go down the nose .
8
Now the mouth . You don't need to make the whole thing darker, the last image is just a bit brighter than this one .
9
From the mouth down to the chin . You can see how there are increasingly more shades of grey than at step 5.
10
Now for his right cheek and a few extra details under his eyes .
11
Left cheek, probably should have united this picture with the last one .
12
Try not to make the lines on his forehead too prominent , you don't want to make him look too old, even thought the actor's 47. If you can observe there are bright lines right under the dark ones , this give the effect of depth .Using only dark lines
13
The hair is dark and easy to make with just a few lines .
14
The suit, again very dark , use a 7B and some paper to smudge it so it won't look rough.
15
You're done, do a very dark background otherwise your doctor will look cropped .

Description: Hello people ! This is a tutorial on How to Draw Hannibal Lecter, portrayed here by Mads Mikkelsen in the new show Hannibal . The show is amazing in my opinion , sure Mad's no Anthony Hopkins , he's not a better Hannibal, or worse, he's different and a lot of people don't seem to get that , you either love the show or hate it . Anyways , I've selected a rather dark reference picture, I love drawing dark things , and this one suits the character , somewhat . At first I wanted to make something that included blood, but then it would had been too similar to another favorite character , Dexter. Anyways , I hope you'll find this tutorial a tiny bit helpful and fun. Bye !
