How to draw Aladdin from Magi

Step 1

Draw the head circle, center line and eye line. Notice that eye line is pretty low and tilted to right. Center line is slightly curved and cuts the eye line in two parts, shorter on the left.

Step 2

Notice that eye on the left is closer to the center line than eye on the right.

Step 9

Lighten all the construction lines by “stamping” the kneedable eraser and ink the final lines. Make sure to refer to the picture above as many construction lines shouldn’t be completely inked especialy with overlaping objects like hair over ears etc. Bolden the eye, eyebrow and mouth lines and fill the eyes with black. Draw shadow on Magi’s neck. 

Step 10

Wait till the ink is nice and dry and erase all the construction lines.

Step 11

Shade Magi with pencil or gray markers and we are done ^_^ If your goal is to become a real Mangaka and design your own manga characters make sure to try to draw Magi from memory several times. Always compare the drawing to the original and correct any mistakes. Do this till you are happy with the result. It doesn’t have to look exactly the same, don’t sweat the details. The point is that you get the main shapes right and that it looks good. This is the best way to build a huge library of manga shapes in your memory that you can use to draw and design your own manga characters ^_-.

Draw with passion! ^_^
