How to Draw Iceman from X-Men: The Original Frozen Mutant

Bobby Drake slides into action on his signature ice slide in this guide showing how to draw Iceman from X-Men comics. As one of the original five X-Men and founding members of the team, Iceman possesses the ability to generate extreme cold and transform his body into organic ice. This dynamic pose captures him surfing through the air on a frozen path he creates, showcasing his cryokinetic powers in full effect.

This tutorial contains 17 steps that take you from basic construction lines to the complete frozen mutant riding his self-created ice wave with all the crystalline texture details.
