How to Draw Nick Fury

In this tutorial, we will show you how to draw Nick Fury using a classic marvel style with contrast shadows and comic book lines.

Nick Fury is a character from Marvel Comics. He was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appeared in the comic Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos #1 in 1963.

How to Draw Nick Fury Step by Step

Step 1: Sketch the Figure

First, draw the skeleton of Nick Fury. Using an oval, draw the head. Using light, smooth lines, draw the spine, arms, and legs. Note that the height of a man is equal to approximately seven head lengths.

Step 2: Add the Upper Body

At this step, start adding volume to Nick Fury’s body. First, use curved lines to draw the eye, nose, mouth, and hair guidelines. Use a cylinder to draw the neck. Draw the outlines of the torso. Use circles to mark the shoulders and elbows, then draw the arms with cylinders.

Step 3: Construct the Legs

Add volume to Nick Fury’s lower body. Draw the triangular pelvis as shown in the example below. Use cylinders to draw the legs and circles to mark the knees. Sketch the feet as shown below.

Step 4: Draw the Face

Using the eye guideline, draw the visible eye. Draw the patch worn over the left eye. Use a curved line to draw the eyebrow above the visible eye. Following the facial symmetry guidelines, draw the nose and mouth. Add wrinkles as shown in the example, then outline the haircut.

Step 5: Outline the Arms and Gun

Move down and start drawing the body. First, draw the neck and the lines of the suit around it. Draw the arms using the guidelines from the previous steps. Add the muscle contours and suit details as shown in the example. Draw the gun as shown, then move to the next step.

Step 6: Detail the Torso and Hand

Continue drawing Nick Fury’s torso and left hand. To learn more about hands, visit our tutorial on drawing hands. Draw the holster and all the straps on Nick Fury’s torso and arms.

Step 7: Define the Legs

Now draw Nick Fury’s legs. Like many superheroes created in the 1960s, Nick Fury wears tight-fitting pants, so the leg muscles are clearly visible. Draw the muscles of the legs as shown in the example.

Step 8: Add Comic-Style Shadows

At this step, add shadows to Nick Fury. First, draw the outlines of the shadows, then fill them in. These are classic comic-book shadows, similar to those in the drawing tutorials about Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Thor. Use hatching to add lighter shadows.
