Sean Cassidy unleashes his sonic scream in this tutorial showing how to draw Banshee from the X-Men comics.

Sketching Banshee in Flight
This guide spans 21 steps, constructing Banshee mid-scream with his striped wing-cape spread wide and his muscular form flying forward in an attack pose!
Banshee’s Classic Design

Banshee’s wing-cape creates a challenge with its striped pattern flowing from both arms. His green and yellow color scheme matches other classic X-Men designs like Cyclops and Marvel Girl. Drawing Banshee requires attention to the fabric folds in his wing sections and the intensity of his sonic scream expression.
