How to Draw Captain America

1. Begin the Captain America outline by drawing his head. Use curved lines to enclose the irregular shape of the head.

Then, use additional curved lines to draw the ear, the eyes, and the outline of the open portion of the mask. Detail within the ear and draw successively smaller ovals inside the eyes.

2. Draw a bold letter “A” on the forehead. Use curved lines to sketch the nose, mouth, chin, and neck. Enclose several narrow rectangles on the side of the head to form the winglike emblem.

3. Next, draw the Cap’s bulging shoulder and chest muscles. Use curved lines to contour the shoulders, upper arms, and pectoral muscles.

4. Draw the oval shape of the shield, then connect it to the arm, using curved lines to sketch the lower arm. Then, use overlapping curved lines to draw the clenched fist.

5. Draw several successively smaller ovals inside the shield, with a five-pointed star inside the smallest oval. Draw another star on the chest.

Then, use curved lines to outline the obliques and torso. Contour the rib cage with short lines, and band the abdomen with vertical stripes.

6. Draw the remaining muscular arm using a series of overlapping curved lines.

Then, draw the belt and buckle by sketching a series of curved rectangles. Use curved lines that do not connect to sketch the basic shape of the briefs.

7. Use a series of overlapping curved lines to sketch the muscular leg. Then, contour the muscles with additional curved lines.

8. Draw the remaining leg, again using a series of overlapping curved lines. Enclose the irregular shape of the foot at the bottom of the leg.

9. Draw Captain America’s remaining boot. Enclose a curved rectangle to form the cuff of the boot. Then, use curved lines to enclose the irregular shape of the boot. Contour the top with a short line.
