Step 6.

Observe where Samuel's features appear in relation to the guidelines. Draw in his mouth, mustache growth, jawline, and those 70's sideburns.

Step 7.

When you sketch his hair, add those tight curly lines. Draw in a scribble motion (but not too messy). And use longer curly lines for his jerry curl bangs. Try staying close to the lines that represent the direction of his hair. This will help as you

Step 8.

I'm leaving the best for last. Now draw in his grasping hand and the 9mm pistol. Take you time. If you want more information on drawing hands, check out my tutorial at this link (copy and paste in your browser address field): http://www.dragoart.com/

Step 10.

I made this line drawing especially for you if you don't want to do the pencil shading and blending part. Otherwise, let us continue to the pencil drawing part.

Step 11.

Here is the outline done with a 0.7mm mechanical pencil. Look closely and see if your lines look something like this. You can erase if certain areas like the eyes or nose don't line up. Take you kneaded eraser and dab off the shadow outlines or dark

Step 12.

PENCIL STROKES & TONE, SHADING, TEXTURE -- For your convenience, I have inserted this step with different pencils, strokes to use. And you can study the shapes that make up this drawing universe, along with tone, shading, and texture.

Step 15.

Here is a quick tip on different types of hair. In the picture follow the arrows. They represent the direction of the strokes. You can practice this now or later. Straight, a curl, cornrows, or a single braid is just a few ways different ethnic group

This is the first start with the pastel application. If you do the whole picture in a pencil sketch, this is where you would sketch in small circles or lines to shade the areas. It would take hours upon hours to cover all that area with a pencil. I c

Step 19.

Here I used my blending stump to "draw" in more lines, add more shading to his Jerry Curl, leaving little white spaces for shine. I smoothed in his eyebrows, side of face, neck and shirt with the medium to dark gray & black pastels. I smoothed the li

Step 20.

I sketched in more shading in his hair, on his shirt, gun, hand and face with my 9B and 0.7mm pencils. I defined the hair strands, darkened his eyebrows, eyes, and added more facial hair with the 9B graphite crayon because the pencil wasn't dark eno

Step 21.

The special feature here are the dark watercolors "Higgins Black Magic INK!" Samuel's face needed more depth, but didn't need to look so dark until he looks like a silhouette. So I made sure the highlights on his face was evident and the darker areas

Description: Samuel Leroy Jackson (born December 21, 1948) is an American film and television actor and film producer. After becoming involved with the Civil Rights Movement, he moved on to acting in theater at Morehouse College, and then films. He had several small roles such as in the film Goodfellas before meeting his mentor, Morgan Freeman, and the director Spike Lee. After gaining critical acclaim for his role in Jungle Fever in 1991, he appeared in films such as Patriot Games, Amos & Andrew, True Romance and Jurassic Park. In 1994, he was cast as Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction, and his performance received several award nominations and critical acclaim. (Wikipedia Notes) What do I think? Samuel's role as Jules in Pulp Fiction is the best work he's done to date. I loved how he received redemption and let the two restaurant robbers go. Amazing dialog when he quoted the scriptures! I just love to go see his movies. Great man! I hope you enjoy this tutorial. Please fav, vote, and comment. Thank you all. Peace and love to you.
