Tutorial: Fan Art, Lady Thor


This is a good example of someone's own interpretation of a character. Despite being a different gender from the original Thor, you are still able to recognize that the drawing is a representation of Thor. This is because the artist has chosen to draw the items that make up the character Thor, these being his iconic hammer combined with his helm and cape. You can also stylize the items that make up the character to add more originality. Anyway the drawing style here fairly simple but the amount of shading throughout it adds to the complexity. Understanding the proportions of the human body is important when you're drawing a human out of your own imagination. Keeping in mind that hands and feet are probably the hardest part of the human body to draw.

Now if you want to draw this for yourself, you're going to need to learn how different parts of the body line up or how they compare in size. For example from the shoulder down, the arms should be long enough to extend past the hips and sit on the thighs. Since if you're creating your own fan art, you don't have anything to refer to. You could find a picture of a person with a suitable pose then start drawing that as a base for your fan art, if you're struggling. Anyway it is difficult to create recognizable fan art so don't worry if you aren't able to.
