Drawing Kakashi from Naruto involves sketching his distinctive features, focusing on his masked face and signature headband. Here's a basic outline of how to approach it:
-
Start with basic shapes: Begin with a circle for the head and lightly sketch guidelines for the face's center line and eye line. These will help you position the features accurately.
-
Outline the mask and headband: Kakashi's mask covers most of his face, so draw its shape first. Then, sketch the headband, remembering that it covers his left eye. Note that the reference video mentions curving the mask down from the center line between the eyes and then up toward the jaw. Round the mask in the middle.
-
Draw the visible eye: Kakashi's visible eye is a key feature. It's usually drawn with a slightly droopy or relaxed expression. Pay attention to its shape and the details of the iris and pupil.
-
Sketch the hair: Kakashi's spiky silver hair is another defining feature. Draw it in distinct clumps, radiating outwards from his head.
-
Refine the lines and add details: Once you're happy with the basic sketch, go over the lines with a darker pencil or pen. Add details like wrinkles around the eye, the texture of the headband, and any folds in the mask.
-
Consider the expression: Think about the mood you want to convey. A slight tilt of the head or a subtle change in the eye can significantly alter Kakashi's expression.
