how to draw marlon brando step 1

Step 1.

First draw a circle for the shape of his head and then add the facial guidelines as you see them here. You will also add a vertical line that connect to the facial guideline for his chest. Lastly draw an oval shaped circle to the left for his hand.

Step 2.

You will now sketch out the shape of his face, mainly the sides, jaw and chin. When that is done sketch out the lines for his eyes using the facial guidelines that you drew in step one. Sketch out the nose shape and then his mouth.

Step 3.

As you can see if you are a novice artists this may be a bit difficult to do. Originally this was a sketched image done using a charcoal pencil. I scanned my finish image into the comp and altered it from there. This sketch of Marlon Brando still can be done using a good sketching pencil or a regular No.2. You will start sketching out his eyes in more detail and then define them with shading. Move down to his mouth and finish sketching out the shape of his lips and then again use the shading technique to define Brando's lips. End this step by sketching out the left hand and fingers.

Step 4.

What I want you guys to do first here on step four is, finish sketching out his hand and fingers. You will also add some shading to detail and define his hand. Sketch out the nails and then you an finish sketching out the left side of Brando's face. Again, shade in the left side because remember you are mimicking the movie poster which has some dark areas. Once that is done add definition near the right side of his nose with an age frown line, and then sketch out the bow tie he is humbly wearing.

Step 5.

Start sketching out his hair line in this step and as you can see it is combed straight back. Back n the seventies, mobsters used to come their hair back with a fine comb. Sketch in the wrinkle lines on his forehead that he gracefully wears on his face without even caring. Next shade in more areas on his face like the right cheek lines, define his nose, add his mustache, detail and define his jowls which everyone tries to like whenever they mimic Marlon Brando, and then you will finish off sketching out his nice jacket, collar, and some wrinkle lines on his clothes.

Step 6.

Sketch in more definition and detail to his hair style and then add some shading to his left hand. Once that is complete you can go ahead and start erasing the guidelines and shapes that you drew in step one.

Hello everyone it is I Dragon_Queen and I am here to submit some new tutorials for the day. Yesterday was a fun day for me because I uploaded the new dragon scheme layout that everyone seemed to love. But unfortunately, the amount of people that liked the layout, didn't over-weigh the people that didn't. So sorry to say, the old style layout will go back up by the end of today. Now, let's get back to my first tutorial submission shall we? I am going to start the day with an awesome sketched tutorial on “how to draw Marlon Brando step by step”. Marlon Brando is a movie star that has been acting since he was very young. Born in Nebraska in the year of 1924, during the spring month of April 3rd. His parents were very talented as well. His mother was an actress and administrator in local theatre, and she even gave some helpful acting advice to a then young Henry Fonda. Brando was indeed one of the most talented actors that has ever lived. Every role that he took on was played with raw emotion. He was very skilled when it came to expressing his emotions when acting. Some of the more popular roles that he stared in was “A Street Car Named Desire” in which he played Stanley Kowalski, and that was in 1948, in 1953 he portrayed Julius Caesar, in 1953 he was mark Antony or Marcus Antonius, then he the lead star in “On the Waterfront” which he also won an Oscar for. One of his roles that he did back in the seventies with fellow actors, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall, and Talia Shire, was probably one of the most memorable of his acting career, which was, The Godfather. In the movie he played a character named Vito Corleone and he was a major mob boss in New York City. The movie was excellent and his character will forever be remembered. Brando did more roles but none could compare to the characters he played in “A Street Car Named Desire”, “The Godfather, and “Rebel Without a Cause”. Marlon Brando died back in 2004 and his presence and gift will be and has been missed. Did you know that he had eleven children? It's true, Marlon Brando was definitely a ladies man and he acknowledges eleven children that he is the father of and disputes the other children that he may or may not be the father to. His over powering face and personality made him one of the greatest actors of our time. I tried the best I could to portray his powerful look for the movie cover of "The Godfather". This is one of my favorite movies and that is why I chose this picture of him to sketch out. It is now time for me to show you “how to draw Marlon Brando step by step” All the steps and instructions are laid out in the simplest format possible to help make this tutorial a breeze. I will return so stay tuned and keep that pencil in your hand.
