Using the face guide that you made in step one, begin sketching out the actual structure of human Shadow's face. Notice how I gave him a chiseled look with the square jaw and pointed chin. Next, draw the eyes, thick eyebrows and then eye lids.

Next, sketch in some hair in the back as well as the detailing for the style itself.

Draw in the buckle for the choker detail as well as the notches. Sketch in some detailing on his neck and on the collar.

Finally for the last drawing step all you have to do is draw out the torso which is in the form of his jacket. Don't forget to sketch out the arms, zipper, and all the creases, wrinkles and folds like so. Clean your drawing so you have something neat

Description: Everyone asked me for some new stuff so here is the first installment of what I have for you all. It’s a lesson that is going to blow the socks off of some people, and have others heartbroken because this character creation is so darn cute. Today I will start my tutorial day by teaching you guys "how to draw human Shadow", step by step. He is the very being that makes us go hmm from the Sonic the Hedgehog game collection and as you can see he looks even better as a human. I guess I’m going to have to make a series of game, and cartoon characters in human form for a couple days just to get the idea wafting around the front page. I have some awesome plans as to who I’m going to turn into a human next, so if you want to see who it is I’m gonna draw tonight I suggest you join me at 8pm eastern time to catch the live session that will be bringing down the house. Anyways, have fun drawing Human Shadow guys and I will get busy with preparing the rest of the tutorials for submission. Adios mi amigos and enjoy!
