Frank Castle stands ready for his one-man war in this guide on how to draw The Punisher with submachine guns from Marvel Comics. The vigilante anti-hero has appeared in countless comics, Netflix series, and films, always recognizable by his white skull emblem and military arsenal. This pose captures him from a dramatic low angle, dual-wielding assault rifles and ready to deliver his brutal brand of justice.
Sketching The Punisher Armed for Battle
This tutorial contains 13 steps that build Frank Castle from basic shapes to his full imposing stance, complete with both weapons and his signature skull shirt.
Character Design Elements
- Short dark hair with stern facial expression
- Black t-shirt with large white skull logo
- Muscular arms with visible veins and definition
- Dark blue utility belt with holster
- Black tactical pants and boots
- Two assault rifles held at the sides
- Dramatic low-angle perspective from below
- Standing on angular rooftop edge
The low angle makes The Punisher appear more intimidating and requires understanding foreshortening. For another version of this character, check out the Frank Castle with a single gun tutorial. If you enjoy drawing armed anti-heroes, the Deadpool full body guide features another gun-toting Marvel character.
Following the Step System
Each step uses color coding to track your progress:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
Getting the weapons proportioned correctly takes attention since they extend beyond the body outline. For more dark Marvel characters, try the Blade tutorial or the Daredevil guide featuring another street-level vigilante.
