How to Draw Chibi Deadshot

Deadshot is one of the characters from the DC Universe whose appearance includes many details. But even he can be simplified into a basic chibi style. Now we will show you how to draw chibi Deadshot while preserving his distinctive appearance in a highly simplified style.

How to draw chibi Deadshot step by step

Step 1: Sketch the rounded head

First, take a pencil and sketch the rounded outline of our chibi Deadshot’s head. Draw a curved line inside the head to mark its side plane, then add a horizontal guideline across the lower part, as shown in our example.

Step 2: Outline Deadshot’s body

Now outline Deadshot’s body using a simple geometric shape. Make the torso much smaller than the head, following the proportions of the chibi style. Next, in the same step, sketch the arms and legs with light, curved lines.

Step 3: Draw the eyes and targeting sight

Let’s start working on the details. As usual, begin by drawing the chibi eyes. Note that Deadshot’s left eye is covered by a very unusual targeting sight. Draw it as a circular device with several concentric contours, while the other eye has a much simpler, narrow shape.

Step 4: Refine the mask and head

Using smooth lines, refine the contours of the head and draw the details of the mask. Add the curved seams across its upper and side sections, following the form of the head. Don’t forget to erase all unnecessary guidelines.

Step 5: Draw the torso, arms, and weapons

Here, draw the details of the torso and arms. Pay special attention to the armor and costume details, trying to reproduce them as accurately as possible. In the same step, draw the weapons extending from the arms, using straight lines for their long, narrow parts.

Step 6: Finish the legs and costume

Using really clear, dark lines, carefully draw the contours of the short chibi legs. Add the remaining lines of the costume and the details of the boots. Remove any construction lines that are still visible to finish the drawing.

When drawing chibi characters, you should always understand which costume elements and features are central and essential, and which can easily be omitted.

This way, even the most complicated-looking heroes and villains from anime, manga, and comics can be simplified into chibi versions.

This should always be combined with an exaggeratedly large head and a small body. Large anime-style eyes and arms and legs simplified as much as possible will complete the appearance.

Look at how we draw chibi Wonder Woman, also simplifying all the details and costume elements while keeping her identifiable.

In the same way, when drawing chibi Batman, we preserve his pointed ears, cape, and emblem, but do not depict the numerous folds in his costume, muscle outlines, and so on.

Similarly, when drawing chibi Deadshot, pay attention to which elements of his costume we included and which we omitted.
