Description: I don’t know if you guys watched it on Monday, but Bates Motel aired for the first time and I hear tell that it was awesome. The series is going to blow up and little Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has the lead role. This tutorial is going to show you "how to draw Norman Bates", step by step from The Bates Motel. Obviously Norman Bates was originally played by the very talented Anthony Perkins back in 1960 in the Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho. Later over the years Psycho was recreated and Norman was played by funny man Vince Vaughn. Of course when Vince played the role of Norman, I think he was in search of a character actor at that time. Meaning, we know Vince Vaughn as a comedian so when we hear his name we think of movies that he starred in that where comical, not suspenseful roles like he did in Psycho. He actually did a good job in that movie, so at least we know he is a versatile actor. Anyways, Bates Motel is a series that will be airing on A &E every Monday night. It’s probably going to be added on my list of must see shows on television along with The Walking Dead. If you didn’t know, I am a humongous fan of The Walking Dead. Rick and the Governor are my two favorite characters along with Daryl. Anyways, have fun drawing Norman Bates played by Freddie Highmore. I will be back with more drawing fun in a bit so stay tuned in. Peace people.
