How to Draw Zayn Malik, Zayn Malik From One Direction

Step 1.


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

Step 2.


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

Step 3.


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

Step 4.


You can draw in the lines a. for eyebrows, b. for eyes, c. for nose, and d. for mouth.

Step 5.


Now draw in Zayn's eyebrows and eyes.

Step 6.


Observe where Zayn's features appear in relation to the guidelines. Draw in his nose, smile lines, and mouth.

Step 7.


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

Step 8.


When you sketch his hair, add those straight lines and curls. Try staying close to the lines that represent the direction of his hair. This will help as you shade it in.

Step 9.


Now draw in his collar and shoulders. If you haven't already, you can erase your guidelines.

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.


This time Acrylics has won! Sandpaper, the new kid on the block has to take a back seat to my wonderful Titanium White or Opaque White Watercolors for HIGHLIGHTS! Yaaaa! Try it, you'll like it!

Step 13.


The picture that goes with this step shows two different ways to hold your pencil to acquire certain effects. OVERHAND: Holding a sharpened pencil in normal writing form with fingers in the middle or near the lead gives you great control and thin/det   

Step 14.


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.


Best thing you can do when drawing hair is to establish the general shape then work in the main strands of hair by holding your pencil at a 45 degree angle for stroking and coverage. Then, as in the third picture, you can work in more details. But he   

Step 16.


The picture here is a great exercise for value shading. I've got a little secret tip for you to make things easier. You can download this to your desktop. First click on the picture to have access to full size. By right clicking on your mouse, you ca   

Step 17.


After printing out a number of the above template, practice shading in the values like this picture. You become familiar with this shading technique that gives you more control and confidence.

Step 18.


Before I started the pastel application, I erased dark outlines on the nose, lips, smiling lines for a more realistic shading. Now I can start with the pastel application. If you do the whole picture in a pencil sketch, this is where you would sketch   

Step 19.


Here I used a tissue (which is soft) to smooth out his face. Darker pastel on the tissue I blended more around his cheek, jaw, nose and under his eyebrows. I took my blending stump to "draw" in more lines, add more strokes to his hair. His eyebrows,    

Step 20.


I darkened in his eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes, and jacket with my 0.7mm 2B mechanical pencil. I defined his lips also. I darkened his hair with my 9B graphite pencil and then blended with my blending stump to give a smooth texture.

Step 21.


Basically, I added more highlights with Titanium White Acrylics to the catch lights in his eyes and lip shine. I also added a tiny bit to the side of his hair, showing the close cut at his temple. TIP: I darkened this picture (in my photo-editing pro   

Step 22.


I cloned this background from the reference pic to add drama for my introduction picture and save time. Now, To help out with specific areas of highlights, tone, texture, etc., the next two following steps will show you.
