Steps
-
Draw a medium circle for his head at the top center of the paper.
-
Attach a tip-of-a-spade-like shape below the circle. This will serve as the outline for his chin and jaw.Advertisement
-
Draw a vertical line across the center of the circle turning down to form chin-jaw part. Draw a horizontal line across the circle slightly below the center. Draw another horizontal line parallel to the first one, within and near the bottom of the circle. Let all these horizontal lines intersect the vertical line by their middle.
-
Start drawing the eyes, nose, mouth and his trademark toothbrush mustache. Use the horizontal-vertical line guides. Trace the outline of his ears, jaws and chin.
-
Draw his curtained hair. As a guide for his body, draw polygon patterns. Make it smaller in proportion to his head.
-
Draw the miniaturized body of this dictator using these polygons. Start with the uniform details of his torso.
-
Continue tracing his entire body and its details.
-
Erase unnecessary lines.
-
Color the drawing as desired.
