How to Draw a Football Player

This game has become a truly popular game in many countries of the world, and the profession of a football player has become one of the highest paid and prestigious. In this drawing lesson the team of DrawingForAll will show how to draw a football player.

 

Step 1

We will draw a football player in motion. First of all, let’s sketch his skeleton, as you can see, it’s very simple. First, sketch the head and the line of the spine. On this line we place the thorax and the pelvis. With the help of simple lines, we sketch the arms and legs. By the way, in the lesson about how to draw a man, we talked in more detail about the proportions of a man.

Step 2

In order to make it easier to draw details of the face, we will sketch two lines on the head. Next, sketch out the outlines of the neck and torso. With the help of very simple geometric figures, we sketch out the arms and legs. Note that in this step we draw everything very schematically, and used very light lines.

Step 3

A very simple step in which we add the most basic details to our soccer player drawing. We start from the top and will move down. Using the intersecting lines from the previous step, sketch out the eyes, nose and mouth. Next, draw the outlines of the hair, the ear and face. With the help of very light lines, we sketch out clothes and a ball.

Step 4

If you followed our advice exactly, then you have the basis for drawing. Starting with this step we will detail the drawing using clear and dark lines and gradually erase unnecessary guidelines. First of all, carefully draw out the outlines of the face and hair. Then draw the eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth.

Step 5

Now we’ll go down a bit and work with the details of the torso. First of all draw out the outlines of the neck and neck muscles. Next, draw out the contours of the neckline and outlines of the torso. Draw the folds that are in the places of compression and stretching of the tissue. At the same step we erase all unnecessary guidelines.

Step 6

If you drew a torso, then it’s time to work with limbs. With the help of smooth and clear lines draw out the contours of the arms, taking into account all the lines of deltoids, biceps, triceps and muscles of the forearm under the clothes. Also on the clothes we need to draw folds in the area of the armpits and elbows. Draw the clenched fists and move next.

Step 7

A fairly complex step in which we will draw the lower part of the football player’s body. First draw out the shorts and add the necessary folds of the fabric. Next, draw out the contours of the muscles of the legs and knee joints. Draw lines of high leg gaiters. Remove all the remaining unnecessary guidelines and move to the last step of the lesson about how to draw a football player.

 

Step 9

So, the football player drawing is almost complete, and we only need to add some shadows. As in other lessons, the first thing we do is determine the source of light. Further, taking this into account, draw hatching of different intensity in areas with the least illumination. In the same step, draw a characteristic pattern on the ball.

If you followed our recommendations exactly, now you know how to draw a soccer player. Try to draw it in different poses and from different angles, using for this purpose photos of real football (soccer) players from the internet and tips from our lesson.
