Let's start drawing a Native American, step by step!

Step 1. Draw the circle of the sun on the top of the page (pencil 5H).

Step 2. Draw the contours of the body and hands (pencil 3H).

Step 3. Draw the oval of the head, the contours of the feet and hands (pencil H).

Step 4. Draw the external contours of the silhouette with details and the soil under the feet (pencil HB).

Step 5. Add the contours of the weapon (pencil HB).

Step 6. Erase the excess lines inside and outside the contour with an eraser. Outline the contours (pencil 3B).

Step 7. Shade the silhouette inside the contour (pencil 8B). Smooth graphite with a blending tool so that there were no white gaps left (blending stump). If you accidentally draw outside contour, erase the graphite with an eraser. Shade the silhouette from top to bottom. You won't rub the graphite with this technique.

Step 8. Paint over the sun and sky (somewhere in the middle, mix the colors: the sun - yellow + orange, the sky - orange + red).
