The difficulty in depicting fantastic literary and cartoon characters is that they cannot be copied from nature. However, in the case of the kyuubi, this rule is violated. The appearance of this monster is based on the common fox. This means that when working you can focus on its prototype.
It is necessary
- - paper;
- - the pencils.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a close look at the fox's body structure. If you don't have the opportunity to go to the zoo and draw a sketch there, find a video of the animal on the Internet. Remember the characteristic features of the animal - an elongated sharp muzzle, more graceful than that of a wolf, a physique, a magnificent tail.
Step 2
Think in what position you want to portray the kyuubi. To convey power and greatness, you can draw his full face, while the artist's point of view should be just below the kyuubi's head.
Step 3
Draw the chest and front legs wide apart. The proportions of a real fox can be distorted by making the legs longer. On the right, draw the side of the animal. It should be half the length of the legs. Bring the back line down, round the line of the abdomen near the hind legs. Copy the shape of the hind legs from the real prototype, then also increase their length.
Step 4
From the base of the kyuubi's neck to the tips of its ears, measure the distance equal to the length of the body. Divide this space in half. On the bottom half, draw the fox's neck. It should be hairy, like a lion's mane. Divide the upper half into three equal segments. On the top, draw wide, pointed kyuubi ears in the shape of triangles. Draw the expression of the muzzle at your discretion - you can draw a grinning mouth or a closed one.
Step 5
A distinctive feature of this character is nine tails. Draw them lush, predatory curved, exaggeratedly large.
Step 6
Color in the drawing. Search the internet for a photo of a fox in about the same position. Color the kyuubi based on the light distribution from this angle. Fill the lightest areas with color first, then add shadows, painting out the volume. To convey the texture of the wool, wait for the paint to dry. Then draw the individual villi with watercolor pencils.
Step 7
To emphasize the power of the character, you can exaggerate his muscles. Their position and shape can be copied from the image of the muscles of any animal with a similar body structure.
