J Hope Drawing Easy Step by Step Drawings

Hello everyone! Sorry for the hiatus, I'm trying to be on top of things for this school year! It's been a while, but I've been working on a "How To Draw" tutorial for you all! Before we start, just know that art is always going to look different. That's the beauty of it! It's all different, so just think positive & try your best! Any mistake you make can be used to benefit your art piece! I'll give you tips to help you, too! (My drawing is not exactly 100% like the picture, my sketchbook didn't give me enough room for everything)

WARNING, REALLY LONG & EXTREMELY DETAILED POST AHEAD!!!! Also, keep in mind that I'm no professional, I made this just for fun, I'm just sharing my art with all of you :kissing_closed_eyes:

Let's get started!

•

The image:

This squish :two_hearts: :kissing_closed_eyes:

First, make little 'markers', where you can lightly draw some lines where you want the head & shoulder to be; it's just for the layout of the drawing. Then start sketching out the head & sideburn. (I personally cut off the top of his head so I could create more space but it's up to you if you wanna do this, or not):

Notice how I drew his sideburn lower than the opposite side of the hair!!

SKETCH LIGHTLY SO IT WILL BE EASIER TO ERASE! Think of the pencil like a paint brush, lightly brushing your lines!

•

Do the rest of the head! It'll help to start with his ear, then put markers where you want his chin & cheekbone, & fill in those lines. Once you connect them all, congratulations! You've done the head!!

The head is always tricky, so be patient! It took me about 5 times to get it the way I want!

Next, go for his shirt. Start marking, & lightly create the flaps. There's one that's really different, above the flower. This one is more of a point rather than a curvy circle. Mine are a little lopsided, but you can start with something like this:

Add detail!! I put shapes so I know where to shade, & drew smaller flaps inside of the first ones that I sketched. DONT FORGET THE TINY FLAP ABOVE HIS CHIN:

The jacket- perhaps start with the lapels (flaps) on the jacket. They don't have to be even, either; continue on the right with his shirt, adding some wrinkles:

Here's where our shoulder markers & pocket come in! The right shoulder has a dull point where it meets the sleeve, then it curves downward. Put a line there to add some depth. The only hard part is finding out where the bump on the left shoulder matches up with JHope's head... I erased mine at least 3 times :joy: To help with the pocket, start at the lapel & work your way out to the sleeve!

Add more details! Clothing is tricky because of all those wrinkles, but just draw lines wherever needed and we'll add more detail later. Back to the shirt, start to draw that flower by creating a cloud shape; add some funky shapes on the inside. Add the ribbons that come out of the bottom:

The more wrinkled, the better!

There's a lot of detail in this part. Start with the little rectangle on the lapel. Add some lines where the wrinkles are supposed to be, & draw the other half of the shirt. For the shadows, shade in a few spots so you don't get mixed up with what needs shading & what doesn't. Take your time with this part, & continue to draw lightly!!

Sorry these are so hard to see :sweat:

Once the body is finished, move on to the hair & face. A tip for hair is to make a billion lines that are overlapping eachother, each of them being done with light to medium to heavy pressure on your pencil so it'll look like they're shaded & it'll have more depth/ detail. It's ok to have them going in every direction! Sketch which way the hair goes, & add the outline of his brows (they're pretty easy since they're bar shaped & partially hidden).

Hair goes in every which way so be wild!

Onto the nose... careful! It's extremely tricky the first times you draw it. Try drawing the bottom of the nose & the lines that connect the nostrils, followed by light lines that attach to the brows. Sometimes it helps to draw one or both of the eyes to get a better idea. Try finding the center of the face & just move the line downward:

To finish up the face, markers will come in handy with those eyes. Use the lines of the nose & start with the inner corner of the right eye. Take your time with the first eye because it's tedious. As for the other eye, try to reflect it. Put the pencil at the inner corner of the first eye that you just made, & trace an invisible line across the face, past the nose line & mark it (It's hard to explain, so if you're confused, use this photo :sweat_smile: ). Do this to the top of the eye, the bottom, & outer corner & close the gaps:

Lips (I hate these, it takes me forever). Start with the upper lip, or Cupid's bow, making the 2 bumps & lines that lead to the nose, mark where you want the corners of his mouth to be. Then it'll be safe to mark the bottom lip, but be cautious so you don't make his chin too small/ large!

Connect the mouth but start with the corners! There are tiny sections between the corners & where his upper & lower lip are, so have the corner lines branch off & adjust where you feel the need to. Don't forget his freckle at the end!:

Look at my right corner!

Personally, I like to make an outline for the face & add details later, so this is a filler. To add eyelids, draw a line from the outer corners in, make sure they disappear right before hitting the inner corner, & add lashes. For the bottom ones, I usually just add lighter dots, then add the irises:

Congratulations, you've done the face!! Alrighty, hang in there, we're almost done! Next, let's tackle the hair & rest of the eyebrows. Eyebrow hairs only go in one direction. Start at the ends that are next to the middle, draw straight lines top to bottom... angle them slightly! Then you can go back & fill in the top & bottom of the eyebrows... add stray hairs at the middle ends for realism:

The right is finished, the left is in progress so hopefully that'll help explain what I'm talking about!

Don't worry, the more you do hair, the easier/ more fun it gets. What helps me is that I start from the bottom, work my way up, & pick out a couple strands that grab my attention the most, like the lighter strands. Pencil pressure is the least of your worries now, bc hair has highlights, lowlights, stray hairs, & strands that go everywhere, but lucky for us, his hair is near perfectly straight/ smooth. All that's needed for hair is to make different sized lines that start at the top of the head, downward. I started with the dark & light parts. Go over the strands that we started out with for more definition...

Keep in mind that his hair has some dark patches at the top & gets lighter in the middle

Once finished, I used my eraser to create the faint line of light in he middle of his hair, & to soften the look of his hair so it's not as sharp. To soften it even more, I took a tissue & swiped it across his entire head:

Almost forgot to finish the eyes. Sketch the lines under his eyes, outline the outside of his irises, & darken his lashes. Then try your best to make out the pupils, & add the catchlight (the white spots that reflect off of the eyes) & outline the whole eyes:

(Jumping around) Like a cartoon sun, draw a couple darker lines outward from the pupils, & then go back while lightly shading in the rest of the eyes. Looking at the ear, get ready to shade the curve by putting light lines. Go over the lines of the nose & make his light smile wrinkles. (Add his mole on his cheek :kissing_closed_eyes: ) outline his lips again & add the lightest lines possible on his lips! Take your finger & just swipe over his lips & nose lines to make them look soft & fade:

All that's left is the shading! Figure out which parts of JHope need more shading than others & start there. To avoid some of the pencil marks & smears, it's known to put something under your hand to prevent the smudging. Tools that'll help shade can be tissues, or tortillons and blending stumps, which are these pencil shaped utensils that are made from recycled newspaper. I HIGHLY recommend using them, especially because the residue that stays on the tortillon can be used on different parts where the shading is necessary. When I shade, I scribble lines where I need them to be, then go back using my blending tools:

I don't recommend using your fingers, because the oils on them absorb into the paper! & if erasing is needed, just lightly dab wherever necessary

If you shade the eyes, it'll look more realistic as well!

Redraw the lines that blend a long with all that shading, & just keep doing what you're doing, your drawing looks awesome!

Almost finished!!

Lastly, touch up anything that needs it & you're finished!! Awesome!! We're finished; sign, date, & enjoy your new piece!

Thanks for taking the time to read this extremely long blog. Detail is super important to me & I love teaching others how to draw, so that's why it's so long... see y'all next post!
