Tutorial: Fan Art, Deadpool


Although this picture is only of Deadpool's head, it highlights the comic book style of shading. I didn't want to overwhelm you with a high detailed picture of Deadpool and decided to use this picture to base my tutorial around. The shading is very solid and distinct, combined with some bold lines to create the curves of the face. Also outlines of the edge of the face are kept fairly thin. Now to create this style you want to start by drawing a thin outline of whatever you're drawing. Then you're going to need to figure out what parts need shading, but the thing is you have to have a solid shape of what the shading will look like. When you colour the shapes that make up your shading they must be kept a solid colour as seen above. Also keep note of how sharp and precise all the lines are while replicating this style. This drawing style may take a while to perfect since you have to  clean and accurate lines which is fairly time consuming.

Anyway in order to draw Deadpool, you're going to need to practice drawing the two iconic white eyes in the large ovals perfectly, since those are the elements that help to distinguish Deadpool as a character. For the paint splatter effect, I find it fairly difficult to draw which keeping it looking realistic and natural. Since you need to understand the randomness of how paint splatters. If you're drawing from scratch, your paint splatter effect might look rigid and awkward, so I suggest looking at paint splatter images on Google to help get an idea on what a natural paint splatter looks like.

Feel Free to post your outcome in the comment section below, have fun!
