In order to depict a basketball player, it is necessary to draw out the proportions in the sketch of an ordinary person, emphasize the physical condition of the athlete and supplement the drawing with details such as uniforms and shoes.
Instructions
Step 1
Start by sketching a person. Pay attention to two facts as you work. First, basketball players are more elongated than the average person. At the same time, due to constant physical exertion, their muscles are well developed, and they do not look thin. Secondly, it is necessary that the dynamics be seen in the drawing, since the athletes on the site are not idle, they are constantly moving. Therefore, you can bend your legs a little at the knees, spread your arms to the sides and raise your head, since the basketball player's gaze is always aimed at the ball.
Step 2
Draw the body. Highlight the calf muscles and the muscles in the arms and shoulders. If you're drawing a basketball player throwing a free kick, place his arms above his head. Keep in mind that the fingers are most often spread apart, rather than folded in a boat, since this is the position that allows you to get more grip on the ball.
Step 3
Draw the athlete's uniform. The upper part looks like a sleeveless T-shirt with a V-shaped or round neckline. On it you can draw a basketball player's number, the name of a club or an advertisement for sponsors. It often has inserts of a different color on the sides. The shorts reach mid-thigh, they are wide enough, so they do not restrict movement. Athletes often wear a soft headband to prevent sweat from entering their eyes.
Step 4
Draw the shoes. Basketball players wear massive, but lightweight sneakers, preferring light-colored socks.
Step 5
Don't forget the details. You can draw a ball in the hands of a basketball player, a flooring lined with a parquet board, a basket with a net.
Step 6
Start coloring. Highlight the muscle play, since basketball players sweat a lot, you can make the surface of their skin shiny. In addition, if you are not drawing a specific athlete, but want to portray a collective image, you can make the player black.
