how to draw trolls

Poppy, from the animated film 'Trolls', is around 20 years old in 'Troll years'. Considering that the characters live in a fantasy world it could vary, but we can safely say she's in the prime of her youth.

The basic shape of axolotl needs to be sketched first. These amphibious creatures have a long, slender body and wide head. Head out from the body, then draw in the head. With your outline in place, go to work on the axolotl's characteristic features: its gills, its eyes, its short legs. Take your time with this part of the drawing and use good quality pencils to capture all the details. After you have finished, if you like, use ink to go over your illustration and colors to do some shading. The axolotl is usually a light shade of pink, so use light, gentle shades that you daren't approach with a heavy hand. Remember practice makes perfect, so don't be discouraged if it doesn't come out right the first time!

Howling Wolf is one such illustration and at the same time it test hair detail. Start your rough outline of the wolf's body by tracing the spending stand way posture, with arched head. Flick in the tale, ears and snout with gentle lines. Now make it's mouth wide open for the howling effect, with fangs important. Put its long, bushy smackdown in the background for balance. Slowly refine these rough sketches into definite lines, adding texture for fur. Lastly, underline areas to create a 3D effect and add moonlight conversation pieces as well as shadows for atmosphere. The secret to creating a truly great work of united art is in watching real wolves and their full-of- feeling body language.

Learn the basics of drawing if it's not already the case: shape, perspective, colors, volumes, etc... Learn anatomy, it's the structure of the human body and you're going to need this a lot, all the time. (try to draw real humans, see what limbs can do, what posture does work and doesn't, etc...) Learn things such as poses, angles, how bodies interact with each others. Don't worry it's less tedious than it sounds, you basically have to draw things to try to understand them. Finally, don't hesitate to use references when you have a specific idea, it's easier to draw when you see the poses than trying to do it from your mind alone.

The human body is a wonderful thing. It has the ability to move, learn and grow–as long as it's not trapped within the confines of its own limitations. But for every aspect in order to become perfect you must remember where you came from first. When it comes testing time there is some risk involved; that's just part of human nature. So what are we worried about?

If you are a newbie who wants to draw a character from FNAF (Five Nights at Freddy's), start by roughing in the outlines to find the shape. As an example, when drawing Freddy with rough lines, the shape of his body is essentially like a chubby, cartoonish robot teddy bear, complete with that iconic top hat and microphone. His little bear ears stick out from between the golden floppy mane crown at the top of his head. Pay close attention to his facial features, for those are normally the most difficult to get right. After the initial sketch is finished, refine it and polish off details, gently softening the lines. When you've finished inking, if you wish you can start trying your hand at coloring. The professional-grade environment shadow and light that you use will add even more depth to your character. Now go back and practice! After all, it might take courage for some people (and it is certainly effortful) but in any case don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone has their style as ever in creation...

Just like every fan, I love 'Sonic the Hedgehog'! And drawing Sonic ought to be a lot of fun. The first step is to make the vague shape of Sonic's head; please notice it looks a little like an oval due to his special face. Next cross a horizontal and a vertical line in the middle of the circle to help you position his eyes and nose. Draw two big eyes, then add pupils; at the same time don't neglect that little gleam of light shining from Sonic's eyes.His famous trait, spikes will be added on the back of his head. Keep in mind, too, his characteristic sardonic grin. Enjoy drawing as you use this brief guide to make a fantastic Sonic! Happy sketching!

Anime heads are pretty distinct with their exaggerated features! To get started, you need to first sketch a circle for the overall shape. Split it with a vertical and a horizontal line to mark the facial features. Below the mid-line, make another line for placing the nose. Don't forget to indent the sides of the circle for cheeks. Now, for the most crucial part - the eyes. They should be big, and usually take up the space between the top and midline. Beginners find it useful to shape them like arching swords. The nose and mouth are minor, just simple lines would do. Ear placement should align with the eyes and nose. Now, for the hair, sketch it as if it's a helmet that sits on the head which should help you with volume and perspective. Lastly, erase the helping lines, add details, and voila!
