How to Draw Leonidas, Gerard Butler, 300
1
First start with the guidelines of the head and face. Also make the basic shape of his torso and arm.

Now, make the outlines of his beard, hair, nose, eyes, ears, eyebrows, mouth and if you want you can add in his scar. The eyes, however, can be quite annoying because he's squinting so when you get the shape you think is right keep it, when you add d

Next, start making the hairs on his head and beard. Don't make long strokes when making the hair, use small controlled movements when applying the hair. Start with a light approach then darken it up afterwards. Then, add some detail to the face, and

Description: Hi 'Errbody! I'm back with a tutorial for a very popular movie! Yep, 300! which is one of my favorite movies. I was also looking around on the site and couldn't really find anything for Leonidas, so here we are! I hope you enjoy, and sorry for the lack of a background, I attempted to draw the fallen companions but it's just too darn complicated! Again enjoy, and most of all have fun!
