Join us as we honor the legacy of Cayde-6, the beloved Exo Hunter from Destiny, by learning how to draw him. This guide will take you through a series of steps to capture the essence of the character that won the hearts of Guardians.
Drawing the Renowned Gunslinger: Cayde-6’s Key Visual Traits
Pay special attention to these elements to ensure your Cayde-6 drawing is on point:
- The iconic horn-like helmet and the glowing Exo eyes
- His weathered cloak and the unique Vanguard armor
- The Ace of Spades hand cannon, Cayde-6’s weapon of choice
Remember, start with light pencil outlines and refine the details as your drawing progresses.
Your Strategic Guide to Sketching Cayde-6
Contained within this guide are 15 detailed images that gradually build up to the full portrait of Cayde-6. Here’s what the colors signify:
- Grey Color: The initial sketch, focusing on getting proportions correct
- Black Color: Outlines the previous steps for reference
- Red Color: Indicates the current step you should work on
Begin with the basic sketch, overlay it with details, and let red color highlight the active step. Once the sketch is complete, optionally ink your drawing and erase the preliminary pencil marks to reveal your tribute to Cayde-6.
