How to Draw A Soldier Step by Step

Step by Step Guide

If you want to draw a soldier, you have to think about their posture, body, and how they present themselves. These are things that I have worked out and ensure in my soldier drawings. And in case you are having trouble working things out on your own, you can go ahead and follow the steps I follow to draw a soldier.

To draw a soldier, go for a top to bottom approach. Apply clean pencil strokes on the edges and keep things smooth. Color the drawing carefully to avoid color spilling out of the outlines.

Start from the top

Draw the head first.

Give him some protection

Draw a helmet over the head.

Next the body

Sketch a simple collar for the shirt.

Do the uniform

Keep it plain and use a light pencil to draw.

Next the legs

Draw the pants tucked into the boots.

Draw the hands

Draw the hands of the soldiers and also a belt around his waist.

Sketch the uniform

Give the soldier a camouflaged uniform.

Now the eyes

Draw them oval shaped. Do the mouth as well.

Hand him a gun

Let us have him hold a big rifle.

Now the details

Use a sharp pencil for these last details.

Coloring time

The drawing is ready. Now it is time to color our brave little soldier.
