Tutorial: Fan Art, League of Legends, Ezreal Portrait


For this tutorial I wanted to focus on creating this particular Anime style drawing. The first thing you notice is the large eyes, which are the main element that distinguishes this drawing style from the rest. The nose is also fairly different as it is much more simplified, only the nostrils are kept removing the wider parts of the nose making it look pointed.  The lips are still similar to a realistic drawing, but the lips are drawn with less detail by not showing the tiny grooves that lips have. The lines of the hair are much more defined by a light black outline for every different movement as well.

Anyway a Anime styled drawing is easier than drawing realistically but it can be also tricky to get used to. The difficult thing about drawing in this style is creating the right sized eyes as they are much larger, although since they are larger it is easier to add detailing into them. The size of the pupil is considerably large so keep that in mind. All the other facial features apart from the hair are all simplified versions of a realistic drawing. The nose is just a triangle with nostrils since there is no detailing added to show how the curves of the nose realistically. The lips are simple as they are only three lines with some shading.  Also ears have less detailing on the inside of the ear. Now with all this simplifying it leaves a small amount of lines that need to be drawn to create this style, but with less lines, this means that the lines you draw much be sharp and precise. Majority of the drawing is outlined in a small dark line, and the shading is similar to a realistic drawing.

To create the hair, you're going to need to try and determine different parts of the hair that can be turned into individual strands. Then you outline all the individual parts of the hair in a thin dark outline. Keep in mind that the shading of the hair is separated by the thin dark outline as well.

Feel free to post your outcome in the comments section below, have fun!
