Decoding the Guide: Color Indicators and More
Every artist, be it a newbie or seasoned, benefits from guidance. Our guide uses a strategic color-coding system to simplify the process for you:
- Red Color: Represents the current step of drawing.
- Black Color: Denotes the lines you’ve drawn in the previous steps.
- Grey Color: Showcases the foundational sketch for proportion accuracy.
This guide breaks down the drawing process into 13 logical steps. The journey starts with a foundational sketch, crucial for nailing those proportions. By the end, artists have the choice to ink their masterpiece. Remember to wait for the ink to dry to avoid smudging, and gently erase the pencil lines thereafter.
That covers the basics of how to draw Riven, from his sharp features to that signature attitude he carries in every pose.
