How to Draw Harry Potter Step by Step Drawing Lesson : Daniel Radcliffe Tutorial
Step 1
Draw a circle…cut it into half both ways. Then cut it in half again horizontally with a dash this time. Cut the bottom half in half again (vertically) with a dash. Then cut both of those halves in half again with another dash so that there are 3 dashes. Look at the diagram below to help you with this description.
Step 2
Lightly draw a line from each horizontal dash that you drew. Now draw a second circle…much smaller for the lower part of the face. This one should be drawn so that it meets both of the lines that you just drew. Notice that half of this smaller circle is inside the bigger circle, and half of it is outside of this circle.
Step 3
Now draw the eyes….notice that to space the eyes evenly, one eye fits in between them. Harry Potter have a very nicely even curved upper line to his eyes….notice that the inner eye is lower down than the outer eye.
Step 4
Now draw the upper lid of the eye…it mirrors the upper line of the eye.
Step 5
In order to help you get the right shape of the nose. First, lightly draw the 3 circles that you see above in between the 2 bottom dashes.
Step 6
Now draw the lines that you see above around the circles…for the nose.
Step 7
I have never drawn any person’s face who had such flat lips…normally there is more of a curve to the upper lip. Either way…draw it at the bottom of the big circle.
Step 8
Now draw the bottom lip.
Step 9
Now draw an oval at the bottom of the lower circle for his chin.
Step 10
Now draw the sides of his face down to the chin. This isn’t a completely straight on pose of the face…that is why you see more on the left side of the face. Also draw the neck.
Step 11
Start drawing the ears at the middle line that you drew in step one of this tutorial. Then draw the ears down to the middle nose area.
Step 12
Now draw the glasses by drawing 2 circles around each eye….as pictured above.
Step 13
Draw a circle in each eye. Then draw a smaller circle for the pupil of the eye. Draw 2 very small circles inside the pupil…then color in the rest of the pupil black…and keep those 2 small circles white for a highlight of the eye. Draw the details of the glasses too.
Step 14
Now erase the parts of the eyeball that went outside the edges of the eyes.
Step 15
Now draw Harry Potter’s hair.
Step 16
Now here is what the drawing of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) looks like before coloring him in. I didn’t draw the scar on his forehead because I am going to put it in when I color him (as seen below)…you can just draw a capital letter ‘N’ like shape on the top left of his forehead if you don’t want to color him in.
Step 17
I used pastels and Thin & Thick Pen Brush in Corel Painter to color our picture.
