How to Draw a Builder
- Prepare the base.
Using thin lines, depict the head, thoracic region and pelvic region in the form of figures of various shapes.
- Sketch out the limbs.
Using a few straight lines, mark the position of the arms and legs. Mark the places of the folds in the form of large dots.
- Add the contours of the body.
Below the head, draw smooth lines to depict the neck and shoulders. Draw connecting lines between the thoracic region and the pelvis.
- Depict the arms.
In this step you will add thickness to the arms. To do this, depict the individual parts of the hands in the form of cylindrical figures. Draw the hand at the bottom.
- Draw the legs.
Focus on the auxiliary lines and give the legs the desired thickness. Draw the joints as ovals.
- Detail the head.
Make the oval of the face more clear and draw the ears on the sides of the head. Draw the eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouth. Add the protective helmet on the head.
- Start drawing the clothes.
Make the contour of the shoulders clearer and depict the neck. Draw the top of the overalls.
- Detail the hands.
Focus on those lines that you drew earlier and draw the sleeves of the T-shirt. Sharpen the outlines of both hands.
- Depict the hand and tools.
Continue the lines and draw the hand in the same position as in the example. Draw some tools in hand.
- Add the bottom of the clothes.
Continue drawing the work clothes and now draw the pants following the lines you drew earlier. Add the small folds to the clothes.
- Draw the shoes.
Now you can start drawing work shoes. Draw the shoes in which the feet are turned in different directions.
- Make the drawing more realistic.
With the help of thin short strokes, successively depict the folds of the fabric on different parts of the clothes.
- Correct inaccuracies.
Look carefully at your drawing and correct the mistakes if necessary. Remove the auxiliary lines without affecting the important lines.
- Color the drawing.
Color the skin with any natural shade. For coloring clothes and shoes, use black, blue and light blue. Color the helmet and tools orange.
