Sketching Starfire in Flight
This tutorial covers 16 steps, constructing Starfire hovering with her flowing red hair and orange energy trail swirling beneath her feet!
Starfire’s Design Elements
- Long flowing red-orange hair filling most of the composition
- Glowing green eyes without visible pupils
- Orange-tan alien skin tone
- Purple lips matching her costume
- Purple collar piece around the neck
- Purple two-piece costume with thigh-high boots
- Purple arm guards covering the forearms
- Orange energy trail flowing from her feet in a spiral
Starfire’s massive flowing hair creates the biggest challenge in this drawing. Her energy effects share similarities with Human Torch and other fire-based heroes. Other DC heroines include Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman. Drawing Starfire requires attention to how her hair flows around her entire body.
