How to Draw Prodigy, Prodigy from Mindless Behavior

1

Draw the oval lightly with a No.2 or HB pencil. Make sure you draw it as seen in the picture.

2

Now draw in the bisecting red line to balance his facial features.

3

Sketch lightly the crescent red lines for hair line and head mass.

4

You can draw in the lines a. for eyebrows, b. for bottom of sunglasses, c. for nose, d. for mouth, and e. for shoulders.

5

Now draw in Prodigy's eyebrows and sunglasses. Don't forget the shadow lines of the glasses. Observe where these drawn lines fall near the guidelines.

6

Note where Prodigy's features appear in relation to the guidelines. Draw in his nose, cheek line, and mouth.

7

Watch closely how his face outline, jawline, chin, and ear relate to the guidelines. As you draw, you will have more accuracy.

8

When you sketch his hair, dot it in. Try staying close to getting in the v-shape parts of his scalp. This will help as you shade it in more.

It is always great to shade in your drawing lightly. You can use a circular or diagonal sketching direction to shade his face, hair, and jacket collar with a 9B pencil very lightly. Use the pencil on it's side as in step 10 for a wider swath (coverag   

15

It's amazing how your picture will look after blending with a tissue (much like this picture, though I went a little darker). Still, do not randomly rub over his eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth and hair. Another thing, don't draw small. Draw on an A4 (or

Here is the finished product. The darkness in his hair (all over), shadows on his face, jacket, and sunglasses are darkened with the 9B Graphite Pencil. Adding the background and blending it makes this contrast rich and bold for our talented Prodigy
