How to Draw Michael Jackson _ Step-by-Step Tutorial

Hey everyone and welcome to the club today .

I'm gonna be showing you how to draw the king of Pop Michael Jackson .

Now we're gonna be drawing some large sunglasses on this character .

So we're gonna start with the top edge of the glasses with a curve starting from the left with a curve up in the middle and then back down on the right side .

Now , from the end , we want to curve down towards the bottom and then up in the middle , leaving a gap in the center .

So the start on the left side , we wanna curve down almost like drawing a half circle .

Now , I'm just gonna pull that up to right about there .

Let's do the same thing on the right , starting on the outside .

We're gonna curve down round at the bottom and then pull that up .

Let's connect these two points with a curve going up the middle and then back down .

Now we're gonna draw the inside edge of the frame .

So let's start with the top .

We'll start on the outside to come across , leaving a gap at the center , they're going up in the middle in towards the center .

Leave a little gap and go down and out towards the right now from the inside , we gonna draw two straight lines coming down again , leaving a gap in the middle on the bottom , I draw on the bottom of the frame .

Then we're just gonna pour that in on the inside .

Let's do the same thing on the right coming around and then up on the right side , now we add a large glare across the glasses starting at the top on the left , want to curve out and then down towards the bottom of the edge of the glasses , step over and draw that same curve coming down .

Let's do the same thing over on the right .

Starting at the top , we curve out and down , stepping over , draw that same curve .

Now , I want to fill the outside areas of the glasses in black .

Now we're gonna move in and draw the outside edge of the nose bridge starting from the left side , draw a short line coming down and we'll do the same thing on the right .

Now .

We're gonna step down and draw the tip of the nose starting from the left .

We're gonna curve down the middle and back up on the right .

Now .

We're gonna move down and draw in the mouth , starting from the left side .

We gonna curve down and then up on the right now , we step down and draw on the lower left .

We draw a shorter curve from left to right .

Let's draw on the lower part of the head starting on the left side of the glasses .

We're gonna draw a half circle .

I'm gonna curve down and in just underneath the mouth and we're just gonna pull that up on the right side .

Now , we're gonna move up and draw the inside edge of the hair starting on the top of the glass .

We're gonna step in , curve up and pull that in .

We're gonna leave a gap in the center .

We're gonna continue on the right side , curby out and then down , let's add a large curl in the center of the forehead .

Starting from this line .

We're gonna curve down and over towards the right now .

I'm gonna blend into a curve going around and out towards the left and I just want to taper this back up towards the top of the head .

It's gonna make it thicker as they come around and then up .

Let's add one more curl on the side , curve out and over towards the right and just gonna pull that down and I'm just gonna connect these two points with a curve going out and then back in .

Now we're gonna move to the side and draw on the ears for the top corner of the glasses .

We're gonna step down , curb out and then up to the edge of the hair and do the same thing on the right side .

Now , I tuck the ears in behind the hair from the end , I'm gonna step in curve down and then in behind the head .

Now let's move up to the top and draw on the side of the head .

We start with a series of curves in the center .

We start from the left with the curve up and then down .

Now let's add a smaller curve going up and then down towards the left and then the right , now let's draw a larger curve .

We go out and then down and then again , a smaller curve on the sides .

I'm gonna make our way around the ears .

From this point , I'm gonna curve out and then you just aiming towards the ear , I want to curl around the here go out and then , and just below each ear lobe .

Now I'm gonna tuck this in behind the head .

Let's start with one more curve going out and then in and then a larger curve going up in behind the head .

So a less side will curve down and then up .

All right .

So now that we complete the head , let's work our way down the body .

We start with the size of the jacket first .

So over on the left side , we draw a curve going out and then down towards the hip over towards the right and do the same thing coming out and then down now from the hips , we're gonna curve down and in towards the inside of the jacket , leaving a gap in the center and then from the inside of the jack , we're gonna draw a straight line going up underneath the head , start with the left side and then go to the right and do the same thing .

Now , just underneath the chin in between the jacket , we're gonna draw a curve between down and up the collar , step down , draw that same curve .

Now let's go to the bottom of the jacket and draw on the belt from these two points .

We're gonna step up , curve down and up .

We'll step up and draw the curve for the top of the belt .

Now gonna add the buckle , draw two straight lines on either side of the center .

Now let's add some detail to the shirt starting on the left side .

I'm gonna curl up and then down .

Now I'm gonna come down and curve in the opposite direction .

Now , we're gonna add the center of a heart in the middle .

We're gonna draw a point from this point .

We're gonna curve up and out towards the left .

Go back to the center curve up and out towards the right .

Now at the bottom , we're gonna step up , start with another point .

We're gonna angle up and out to the left and then the right , now we're gonna separate out the shoulder of the jacket from the top of this line .

We step down , angle down and out towards the left line .

This up on the right angle down and out towards the right .

Let's add two sets of zippers on either side , starting on the left right here .

We're gonna start with a straight line going up , step down , draw that again .

Now I'm gonna close off the ends with a straight line .

Let's do that again .

Just below it .

Start with those two lines angling up and then we'll close off the ends .

Let's take those zippers and flip it over on the right side .

So we start at the top with those two lines and then we close off the end .

I'm gonna do that one more time .

And at the bottom of the jack , we're gonna have two vertical zippers .

So start on the left and draw two straight lines coming down side by side , close off the top and the bottom , do the same thing on the right .

Now .

Let's continue working down the legs in the center .

We're gonna step down , draw a curve from left to right , going up and then down .

Now in the center , I'm gonna draw a straight line coming all the way down towards the heel .

Let's round out the bottom of the feet from that center line .

I'm gonna curve down and up towards the toe on the left , go back to the center curve down and up towards the toe on the right .

Let's draw on the top of the foot , starting from the toe , we're gonna curve up , I'm gonna bend this down , aiming towards the heel we'll stop right about there .

I wanna blend it into a curve going the opposite direction , going up towards the inside of the leg .

Let's do the same thing on the right , curving up and down and then blend it into a curve going up towards the inside .

Now , we're gonna move back up and draw on the outside of the leg starting from the corner of the jacket .

I'm gonna step in , start with a straight line coming down .

Now , about halfway , we're just gonna bend that in to the top of the foot .

Do the same thing on the right come down and then bend that in .

Let's thicken up the sole , taking this curve stepping up , just gonna trace that all the way across on the left and right now , directly above the foot , we're at the edge of the pad cuff , curve down and then up .

Now let's move up and draw on the arm .

So we're gonna start with the arm on the left about halfway down the side of the body .

We start with the inside of the arm coming out and then down .

Now , right here , we're gonna draw on the thumb .

We start with a half circle at the end of the thumb .

We'll draw a bracket .

Now at the bottom of the thumb , I'm gonna curve down and up around that bracket , step down , curve down and up the second finger .

Now on the side of the second finger , we're gonna curve out the third finger , curve the arm up and then in behind the head .

Now we're gonna roll up the sleeves .

So about halfway up the arm , we'll start on the outside with a curve in and then down , let's add a wrinkle leaving a gap on either side , we draw another curve going across .

Now , the arm on the right is gonna be pointing out .

So starting from the side of the body at the top , I'm gonna step out , curve down and then out towards the wrist .

Now I'm gonna point the thumb going up , starting from the wrist .

We're gonna curb up and over round up the thumb and I'm just gonna pull that back down and then in , now we're gonna overlap the thumb on top of the finger .

So from this point , we're gonna step up , go out with a straight angle line , round it out and then come back in .

Now we're gonna fold the fingers in , starting from the endless line .

We're gonna draw an oval curving around up and then back in , let's tuck the second finger in behind .

Starting up here , curve around , then back up .

Now , at the bottom of this finger , I'm gonna curve the palm coming down and then we're just gonna hook that up .

We're gonna step down , curve in and up in behind the body .

Now let's add the sleeve of the jacket starting at the bottom of the arm , I'm gonna curb up and over .

We're gonna add that same wrinkle starting at the bottom here , we're gonna curb across and over .

Now , the last thing we gonna do is add the edge of the glove over on the left side from the cuff .

We step up , curve over and then down and that's pretty much it .

There we have it .

There's the king of pop , Michael Jackson .
