Drawing Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) - Realistic Drawing Process

Welcome everyone, today I'll be covering the whole process of the Wonder Woman drawing and going through a few different methods and technique I'm sure you'll all find useful. First I start doing the rough outlines and the best way to do this is to focus on each individual area. I should be able to have an accurate outline and some rough proportions by the end of it.

IMG_1364.jpg
Once I had some rough outlines I started putting more work into the eye. And I always seem to start drawings by working on the edge there but I suppose you can start at any point you might find best. I also outline the areas of the pupil. And then just completely fill in the rest of the pupil using a dark charcoal pencil. What might be helpful is to lay down some basic shading first and try and achieve the correct terms.

When it came to drawing the eyebrow it was difficult to differentiate each individual hair. There's also a small highlight in the eyebrows sometimes try to create these by leaving small gaps between the strokes pencils. I'm trying to create some textures by laying on different types of pencil marks. And also looking at the light in shadows. Lips usually have a texture that goes up and down with a light and dark shadows. The thing when it comes to realistic drawing is that you'll need a lot of patience and focus to create the details.

IMG_1373.jpg
I always recommend using the darkest pencil you have for the hair to make it stand out from the shade of the skin. When creating darker shades you want to apply a lot of pressure on the paper and only do small strokes. Eventually, I had finished with the hair and then I started to fill in some of the skin tones. The best advice I can give for realistic skin tones is to first apply a base layer of shading of the skin tones. Then use a blending stump or your hands blend the shading together smoothly, you can take a small eraser or start removing areas of the shade to create a textured skin appearance. Then take a lighter pencil and start making some extra details that are probably the best technique for skin texture.

Let's jump into the next section of the drawing which is her armor which is a bit of a challenge to draw. It requires a lot of patience so to do this I started off by drawing the main outlines. Also leaving gaps in between some areas because each bit appear separated. The top section of the armor had a darker shade than the bottom.

IMG_1382.jpg
I finished her armor and most of the drawing was finished I always step back and look at the image just to see if there's anything else that needs changing. Usually, I have to make some areas darker and I'll over to make it look even better. You should take some time out at the end of every drawing to review and go over it. So that pretty much concludes the whole drawing process and this realistic drawing of Wonder woman. I want to say thank you for commenting and voting on my pages. You guys are awesome!

If only life itself could be drawn with pencils then pencils would have been gods.great piece.many do not appreciate drawings until a fine portrait of them is made..

We all pencils in the hand of god @shawnnn

good illustration to graphite. I liked your step by step. I hope to see more. I also draw and I have a style similar to yours I like how you faded. the woman wonder in stic way. Greetings.modo artistico. Greetings.

Thank you so much for your comment!. I'll be posting more soon. I'll like to see your art too! @betzaelcorvo

You have amazing skills! I also prefer to start with the eyes, haha (I always start with the favourite part). One, it is because they are beautiful. But maybe also because it is the eyes that express the liveliness and the emotions of the subject. After all.. they say eyes are a mirror to one's soul.

And in painting that final touch - the gloss on the eyeball, somewhere in the iris, makes the painting (or drawing in your case) so, so alive.

Yes, I always start in the beautiful area like the eyes and face. You're absolutely right!. The eyes are the mirror of the soul. :) @art.life

Wow! You're an artist too? What else can you do? Anyway, even if I follow your step, I still can't draw. I can only manage stick drawings. LOL

Yes, I'm trying not to be boring hahaha. Stick people are pretty awesome! @wincee

I sincerely wish i am this talented when it comes to drawing. This is top notch and thanks for showing the process for someone like me. I really appreciate that. I have a lot to learn when it comes to this.

I'm sure you're very good at something else that you do!. Thanks for the awesome comments. You have a great day! @olawalium

😊😊😊 spot on. Thanks a lot and have a blessed day too.

Wow!!!! That's an amazing drawing @vaansteam and you chose the perfect character for this post (Gal Gadot is so gorgeous....)

Congrats!! You are very talented in drawing!!

Thank you @felobtc She sure is gorgeous. I'm glad I made this decision!

upvoted! this is what you call art

  • this drawing is full of life . . .

Thank you so much for that!. I try to bring some life as much as possible! @grezsr

I thought I was good when I drew an apple in art class 11 years ago. Looking at today my apple looks more like a potato. This is great work and good explanation on the techniques.

ahaha I'm sure it's still good. And don't mention it :) @mfcrypto

I always love Gal Gadot. Your drawing makes her look alive especially in her eyes, the way she looks at the camera is mesmerizing! @vaansteam Thanks for sharing the trick and the fabulous drawing!

Thanks again @cicy for the awesome comments. I'll try to make her lifelike as possible. I'll improve as I do more and more.

You are very talented. I don't even know where to start and if I tried to draw what you just did, we would end up with a crazy stick figure 😂

Thanks @taylorann haha You should try it maybe it turned out way better than that.

Glad you think so :), but I think it is in everyone's best interest that I just stick to capturing the beauty of things already present in the world, lol

I can't draw nothing even you show it step by step. Yours is an excellent talent and really joyful to see it. I wonder if you can take a video, i'm sure it would be more joyful to watch :)

I'm sure you're not that bad as you think. I was thinking of making videos and posting it on Dtube. Thanks for that! @cihaddogan

Always like this sort of post, art step by step
Looking forward to the next one

Thank you very much! I'll be doing it more soon! @tibra

First let me congratulate you for your work, I am excellent, keep it up! I am an illustrator and I love drawing with graphite, I liked your work because I am a fan of the superheroes, especially DC comics, you have won a new follower, I hope you can go through my blog and see some of my works!

Thank you so much!. Yes, I am also a big fan of superheroes. I'll check out your blog for sure! @kennyvaldez

short and simple...YOU can draw! maybe you should make a video of you actually drawing. that would increase the awesomeness of you and your drawings

I was thinking of making a video of my drawing. Thanks for the suggestion. @t-belema

OMG this drawing is amazing!!!!! I love her. She is my fav WW. I am actually reading Wonder Woman : Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo, and it is so good

Thank you @skullangs really nice of you to say. I see that you're really into books. Glad to see that.

wow, just amazing!!
Ever since I saw her in the movie Wonder Woman last year, I just came to like her, and your fantastic drawing reminds me of that memory!!
Thanks~ I'll show your post to some of my friends.

@sujisyndrome I like that movie too. I'm a big fan in DC comics. And thanks for sharing with your friends!

Wow!! I’ve always admired this kind of drawing. Never tried it but I’m afraid I will just make a mess if I did :(

You should try it. It's not that bad of a mess. @kothy

Woww. very creative

Thank you @yasieraravat

En verdad quiero saber ¿como le haces para obtener el parecido? Es decir, yo aprendí una vez que hay un canon del rostro, e intenté dibujar a mis hijos. Todo un trabajo duro. Pero veo que con unos trazos iniciales ya sacaste el parecido... Dime ¿que debo ver?¿que debo desarrollar para lograrlo?... Un saludo y gracias.

@latino.romano Todo lo que puedo decir es práctica y práctica.

wow.... good creativity. great art

Thank very much! @mdmunna

awesome

Thank you! @hermawan30

Upvotes back..

Thank you so much @criptoworldlb

The art work is beautiful.
You are actually gifted.
You are real good at what you are doing.
Nice shading.

Thank you so much @matadonis I try my best.

We both know you're an amazing artist; but you don't know about me. I thought that if I created a good picture, I get to win the contest.

So I picked up a pencil and tried to follow you. I ended up created the dreaded evil villain that'll feature in the next Wonder Woman movie.

Don't discriminate, just upvote
