Naruto characters: Naruto (part 2)

 

Naruto characters: Naruto - Welcome to this new tutorial of the Drawing Factory. This time we'll show you how to draw Naruto and paint Naruto using photoshop.

 

 

Now that we have defined the main facial proportions let's start sketching in the actual features.

 

Naruto characters: Naruto - Facial features

 

In this step we'll draw the eyes, the eyebrows, and the headband. Just sketch, we'll detail those later. We want to get proportions right at this stage.

 

 

To draw the eyes simply draw an oval that starts and ends within the marks we have done previously. The eyes have not this shape but we'll get in soon and shape them properly.

 

Eyebrows are just two thick lines and, you see, nose and mouth are really easy to draw.

 

Finally draw the headband that occupies al the forehead. It starts just where the ears are.

 

 

Naruto characters: Naruto - Start detailing

 

Let's start put some detail into the eye and eyebrow now. I have drawn only the right eye here to show you the difference to our sketchy eye.

 

The bottom part of the eye is flat then it goes up in a gentle curvature. The upper part o the contrary is round and stays pretty much close to the shape of the oval we sketched in the first place.

 

The eyebrow is just slightly thicker see? Narrower in the middle and slightly bolder on top of the eye.

 

To draw the pupil make a cross in the eye and center the pupil and iris in the middle of that cross. Remember that pupil and iris are concentric.

 

 

Drawing the hairs can be a chore but here is a trick to draw them perfectly.

 

Starting from the upper side of the headband draw these curved lines moving outward (see the arrowhead) and laterally. The central lines are linger than the lateral ones. Using these lines as a reference we'll build the hair mass in the next step.

 

 

Once the lines are drawn building the hair mass is simple, just connect the tips of the (red) lines with a saw-shaped lined. Like in the drawing above. Let's move on onto the next part.
