How to Draw Green Lantern in Flight with His Power Ring

Hal Jordan looks best when he’s off the ground and charging into action, which is exactly what this tutorial captures. Here’s how to draw Green Lantern in flight, showing him mid-air in his classic DC Comics suit with the ring out front and ready to fire.

Green Lantern Airborne

This drawing covers 11 step-by-step images, ending with the colored result. The foreshortened body and angled limbs make this more challenging than a standing pose, so the early guideline steps are especially important for getting the proportions right. There’s also a standing Hal Jordan on the site if you want to start with something grounded first.

Hal’s Design in This Drawing

• Green mask with angular edges
• Green torso with large lantern emblem on chest
• Dark gray arms, legs, and sides
• White gloves with green power ring visible
• Brown hair with short side-parted cut
• Clenched teeth in a determined expression

Learning how to draw Green Lantern in flight also builds good habits for other flying heroes. Hawkgirl uses a completely different flight stance with her wings, and Tim Drake as Red Robin has a similar mid-action energy worth trying next.
