How to Draw Superman

1. Begin the Superman outline by sketching Supe's head and face. Use curved lines to trace the eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, chin, ears, hair, and bulging neck muscles. Don't forget the classic "Superman curl" on his forehead.

2. Outline the neck and shoulders of his suit, as well as his pectoral muscles, with curved lines. Next, draw the Superman logo. Outline a double inverted triangle with two blunt points. Inside it, draw the "S" shaped emblem of the House of El.

3. Sketch Superman's muscular arm. Use curved lines for the sides of the arm, the hand, and the fingers, as well as the end of the sleeve and the contours of the muscles.

4. Use a curved line for the torso and then sketch Superman's remaining arm, nearly a mirror image of the first.

5. Use curved lines to complete the torso and to draw the briefs, rectangular sections of the belt, and oval-shaped belt buckle. Contour the ab muscles with curved lines. You can learn more about how to draw abs here.

6. Use long, curved lines to draw Superman's leg. Notice how the lines overlap where the calf muscle meets the knee and the lower leg. Use curved and "V" shaped lines to trace the top of the boot, and short curved lines to contour the muscles.

7. Draw Superman's remaining leg, boot, and muscles using curved lines.

8. Draw Superman's cap, erasing at the shoulders as necessary. Use overlapping curved lines to sketch the fabric as it goes over the shoulders to meet the top of the Superman logo. Then, extend long curved lines that meet at a point to draw the top of the extended cape.

9. Complete the cape using a wavy line, and contour the fabric with additional curved lines.

Your cartoon Superman outline is now complete. Color his suit. His torso, arms, and legs are blue. The cape, briefs, and boots are red. His logo is red and yellow, and his belt is yellow, too.
