How to Draw Green Lantern Logo

This comic drawing lesson is devoted to showing you how to draw the Green Lantern logo, the recognizable emblem of the character from the DC Comics universe.

As you know, Green Lantern is a famous superhero from the DC Comics universe. Several characters have used this title – such as Alan Scott, Hal Jordan, and Guy Gardner – but all of them share the same Green Lantern logo.

Notably, even when the identity of Green Lantern changes, the logo remains almost the same, with only minor adjustments in certain angles and contours.

The overall shape of the emblem has stayed consistent throughout the character’s history. So by following this lesson, you will be able to draw any version of the logo.

At the end, you can either leave it as a line drawing or color it in the character’s signature green tones.

How to draw Green Lantern step by step

Step 1: Sketch the outer glass circle

The entire Green Lantern logo is built from several circles and straight rectangular lines. First, draw a circle that represents the outer edge of the lantern’s glass section. You can gradually sketch the outline, darkening the lines step by step until you achieve an even and accurate circle.

Step 2: Draw the inner circle of the Green Lantern logo

Now draw the inner contour of Green Lantern logo using another circle, but smaller. Make sure the spacing between the two circles is even on all sides. This circle should also be drawn carefully, aiming to make it as round as possible.

Step 3: Add the base rectangle of the sign

In addition to the circular “glass” area, the logo has framing elements at the top and bottom. Start with the bottom part by drawing a horizontal rectangle that overlaps the ring from the previous steps. Try to use straight, clean lines.

Step 4: Draw the top of the Green Lantern logo

Now do the same at the top, and draw the upper framing element of the Green Lantern logo. The top and bottom parts should be exactly the same size and aligned directly above one another. Check the proportions and accuracy by turning the drawing upside down.

Step 5: Sketch the outer boundary circle

Next, draw the large circle that surrounds the entire logo and serves as the outer boundary of the emblem. This circle is the outside edge of the logo and is typically shown on the superhero’s chest. You can draw it using the same approach as the circles in the first and second steps. Then carefully begin erasing the construction lines, trying not to touch the important edges and details of the logo.

Step 6: Trace and darken the superhero sign

Finally, bring your Green Lantern logo drawing to a finished look. Trace it with darker, cleaner lines and correct any mistakes that may have been made in the earlier stages. Check the symmetry again, view the drawing from a slight distance, and flip it upside down a few times. This will help you spot any inaccuracies in proportions and alignment.

Drawing logos is a fairly interesting process that involves creating schematic images that become firmly fixed in a person’s mind and are associated with a specific character.

What is the Green Lantern logo?

It is, quite literally, a green lantern depicted in a highly simplified form. It immediately sticks in our memory, and when we see this logo, we instantly understand what it belongs to.

The same applies, for example, to the Superman logo, which is essentially just a large letter S placed inside a diamond-shaped emblem.

We explained how to create this, perhaps the most famous superhero logo in the world, in our the Superman logo drawing lesson.

The very same principles form the basis for creating the Spider-Man logo. Essentially, this logo is a silhouette of a spider viewed from the back.

Slightly more intricate than the Superman logo, this emblem is still clearly readable and widely recognized by people all over the world as the symbol of Spider-Man.

We also have a lesson on this topic, where we show how to draw the Spider-Man logo from the movies and explain how you can modify it into any other version if desired.

Creating your own superhero logo is not difficult either; it all depends on how well you have developed this skill.

As an exercise, try coming up with your own logos using objects you would like to associate with the image you have in mind.

This practice will greatly improve your abilities and will become a solid foundation for your overall artistic skills.
