How to draw Wolverine

by Vincenzo

 

Ready to learn how to draw Wolverine? Hallo Wolverine lovers out there and welcome to this tutorial dedicated to the powerful X-man! I know you are excited and you want to start but let me tell you what you are going to learn if you follow the following instructions.

Drawing Wolverine means basically been able to draw a human, muscular male character with the appropriate costume just like in the spiderman tutorial.   I will assume that you can reasonably draw a human character here and focus instead on drawing the costume which, honestly, can be a bit tricky if not tackled right.   Let's get started friends!

How to draw Wolverine - Set up the costume

 

In this tutorial I'll provide a silhouette of a hero character well suited for the physique of Wolverine and we'll progressively "clothe" it with the classic Wolverine costume. To download the silhouette just "save the image as" using the right click of the mouse.

 

 

Wolverine costume it's not particularly difficult to draw however, as many other classical costumes of X-Men super heroes you must be able to follow the curvature of the body while applying the costume.

 

The first thing we are going to do is defining the outline the outline of the costume starting from the forearms.

 

 

The first thing to do is to define the position of the gloves and the boots. A single line will serve the purpose here. Be careful to follow closely the curvature of the body where you draw the line.

You should have something like this. Now it's time to add the belt and the.. ehm, underpants :). As usual follow the curvature of the body. This might be more difficult than it seems so take your time and try to imagine how the body curves in that particular part and follow that curvature.

 

How to draw Wolverine - the claws

 

 

Now a tricky part, the claw-like patches wolverine has on the torso. The secret to draw them correctly is, again, to follow the curvature of the body. Draw as I have done three lines at approximately the same distance one from the other trying to follow the shape of the lower torso which, in this case, is bent backward.

 

 

Now use these lines as guidelines to position the claws! See how each claw follows the profile of a line and then goes back where the lower line is? Easy this way!

 

 

Another important element of the costume are the shoulder pads. These pieces of equipment aren't particularly fancy. Position them as best as you can trying to get the perspective right.

 

How to draw Wolverine - Set up the Mask

 

 

Let's move on the mask now. I would start drawing from the middle of the face. Sketch lightly where the eyes are going to be and use them as reference to position the nose. As you can see the shape of the mask is really simple.

 

 

A more tricky part is drawing the lateral sides of the mask. I reckon the best way of drawing them is starting from the nose and follow the curvature of the head than a sharp bend upward. Try to keep the two sides symmetrical and proportioned to the head.

 

 

Now that you have defined the shape of the mask add the eyes (intense and penetrating!) and a bit of angry expression. I have drawn an open mouth showing pointy teeth.

 

 

The last finishing touch to the costume are the "decorations" of the boots. Now, these particular"flaps" that wolverine has on the booth can be a nightmare to get right but if you have taken care of drawing the boots first as I showed at the beginning it should be much easier.

 

 

If you have followed all of the steps you should have this now! Great, you just need to color it now!!

 

How to draw Wolverine - Color it!

 

 

At this stage I have just applied flat colors to get an idea of the general aspect he final drawing is going to have. In the next step I will be adding just an hint of shadows and clean the drawing a little bit.

 

 

There you have it! Now you know how to draw wolverine. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
