Twin firearms held low and a wide-legged stance sum up Salvador before a single line of his face is visible, and this step-by-step tutorial breaks down the full figure across 21 steps so you can sketch the Gunzerker from the Borderlands roster. The guide covers him in line art rather than color, keeping all attention on structure and proportion as you learn how to draw Salvador from the ground up.
Building a Gunzerker: What the 21 Steps Cover
The tutorial runs 21 steps and ends on clean line art with no coloring stage, so the work stays focused on getting the silhouette and proportions right. Salvador is a full-body standing figure with both guns at his sides, which means the wide shoulder-to-waist ratio and the oversized firearms need careful handling throughout. The bulk of the detail work lands on the upper body and weapons, so expect to slow down there.
Salvador’s Key Visual Traits
- Mohawk hairstyle with short beard
- Massive build, broad shoulders
- Anarchy symbol on torn t-shirt
- Skull belt buckle, combat boots
- Dual wielding two large firearms
If you enjoy drawing Borderlands characters, the site has several others worth checking out. Gaige and Fiona both offer a contrast in build and silhouette compared to Salvador, and Krieg is the closest in overall mass and energy if you want to keep the heavy-figure practice going.
Reading the Color System in the Step Images
Each step image uses a three-color coding system to make progress easy to track:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
