Astronaut fine ink study

One complete astronaut standing in three-quarter view, rounded helmet with blank visor, coherent spacesuit with two arms and two legs, mitt-like gloves and boots. Practice clear contours and a few local shadows in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Map the helmet, torso and four limb directions.

2. Connect the structure

   Connect the suit joints, gloves and boots.

3. Develop the drawing

   Refine the clear outer contour, add only the most useful interior details and place a few small local shadows. Leave most of the paper open.

A small thing to tryKeep the helmet centered over the suit collar.
