Make the outline for John's head by sketching out an oblong face shape. Sketch in the facial guidelines.
2
Here you will sketch in the beginning lining for the face, then add that outer layer of skin to create the double chin.
3
Up next, you will draw out the wavy bushy hair on each side of John Adams' head, then add some detailing. You will need to make sure that he is completely bald on top of the head as well as in the middle.
4
Sketch out the broad shape of the nose, then add detailing at the bridge of the nose.
5
The next thing you will need to do is draw out the eyebrows, then color them in. Make sure they are nicely arched.
6
Next up, draw out the shapes of his eyes, and make sure that the eyelids are visible. Add the puffy bags under each eye.
7
Draw in the simple lined mouth, then sketch in the frown lines on the sides of his mouth. Add the chin arch, and detailing to his cheek. Don't forget to draw the rest of the face shape.
8
You are almost done people. Draw the jacket, back part of his body which is also the back, then draw in his tie.

Lastly, draw the ponytail and add the last minute detailing throughout. Erase your mistakes too.

Description: With everything that is going on in the world today made me want to make some lessons based on the founding fathers of my country. Since I already have Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, I will have just a few more presidents to upload tuts on. Here is "how to draw John Adams", step by step. Not only was John Adams one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, he was also the second president of the U.S. He was also a diplomat, an advocate of American independence from Great Britain, and a statesman. John Adams was one of the men that coaxed Congress in a persuasive manner to declare independence. He also helped fellow founding father Thomas Jefferson in write the Declaration of Independence in the year 1776. John Adams also served two vice president terms with George Washington. Anyways, drawing John Adams is going to be fun and enlightening so enjoy. May peace be with you all.
