To draw soccer players, start by lightly sketching stick figures to get the basic lines down on paper, then add volume to the figures. Next, sketch in uniform details to demonstrate the position of each figure, such as giving a goalkeeper knee length socks and gloves. Then, add the finer details, like the hair and facial expressions. Lastly, erase any unnecessary lines and add color to your drawing! For tips on adding other details that demonstrate a player's position, read on!Did this summary help you?YesNo
