People, get ready. Three Little Birds asked me to do a step by step tutorial on how to draw Bob Marley. So Get up! Stand up. Grab a pencil because today YOU are going to draw one of the greatest musicians that ever lived. What? No art experience? No woman no cry! Don't worry about a thing...... in other words everything is gonna be alright. This train is bound for glory and you are a passenger my friend. Just listen to my step by step instructions and pause the video at the end of each step and I think that you will surprise yourself. Could you be loved? I dont know. Thats a multi faceted question with a lot of factors. Go ask Dr. Phil. Could you make a successful portrait of Bob Marley? I can answer that. Yes you can.

Before we begin, I recommend that you watch this video on my website. I made an additional cheat sheet tutorial with photos and text. There is also a supply list and an extended shading tutorial. Just hit the link in the video description below the video player. Lets get started.

Step 1: Draw the shape that you see. Really it is two shapes, Bob Marley's silhouette and the background. These shapes do not have to be perfect in order for this portrait to be successful.
Step 2: Draw the M shape that I just added, Notice where it intersects with the shape from step one.
Step 3: Add the shapes for the collar on his shirt.
Step 4: Add the shape for the neck. It kind of looks like a cat's head.
Step 5: Add the shape for Bob Marleys face. Notice the tilt of his head and the placement within the hair shape and above the cat's head shape from the previous step.
Step 6: Add in the shapes for the eyes. Here is a close up.
Step 7: Add in the shape for the nose. The other shapes surrounding the nose are shadow lines and facial hair. All together, this shape sort of resembles a crab.
Step 8: Add the four shapes for the mouth. Notice that the top two are slightly bigger than the bottom two.
Step 9: Draw in the shape for the eyes. Take some extra time to observe where each shape falls within the eye shape.
Step 10: Draw in the shape for the teeth. There are 8 teeth visible. Notice the dark values in the corner of the mouth.
Step 11: Add the shapes in to the hair and in to the clothing. Don't stress, these shapes do not have to be super accurate.
Step 12: Partially erase the lines from step 11. We are going to use charcoal and the dry brush technique. Dark pencil lines will show through.
