Joker Drawing in Just 6 Easy Steps!
Embrace your villainous side with this guide on how to draw Joker!
you’re free to draw the Clown Pince of Crime in just a few steps.
Joker is probably the most iconic and famous villain in all of comics.
He was introduced in 1940 and quickly became the arch-nemesis of Batman.
Of course, he also has his signature grin and green hair!
Its time to recreate this iconic villain!
Most real faces are not as long as this one, but were aiming for a rather exaggerated look.
Then, we will give him a prominent, rounded square chin.
This section will probably be the trickiest, so take a stab at follow the reference image closely.
Finish off by adding a long, thin ear on each side of his head.
Perhaps the most recognizable aspect of his face is his smile.
His mouth is separated into two different sections.
The first is the actual mouth itself in which we can see his toothy grin.
Then, it is surrounded by clown makeup which makes it even more prominent on his face.
This portion has pointy tips on each end to make him look more menacing.
Next, we will focus on his eyes.
Another well-known feature of Joker is his pair of expressive eyebrows, so we will start with those.
They are thick and at quite a steep angle, giving him his sinister facial expression.
His eyes will be right beneath the eyebrows, and they will have a fairly thick outline around them.
Some simple line details around the eyes will help to give his face more realistic wrinkles.
His nose will come next, and it is trickier to draw than you may think.
We will use a lot of fairly angular lines to give it a crooked look.
To try and make this easier, we will focus on creating an outline before adding specific details.
First, draw the shoulders at a gentle slope.
Drawing hands is tricky, so follow the reference image closely if you struggle with this aspect.
In this portrayal, Joker is wearing his classic purple suit jacket over a waistcoat and shirt.
Next, we will add the collars of his jacket.
Each side will have two pointy portions, and they should extend all the way down.
The next part to draw will be his waistcoat.
If you took our advice of drawing some guiding shapes in pencil, then these can be erased now.
Just be sure that you dont smudge any ink or erase any lines that you want to keep!
Then we can add some final details.
These details are mostly quite small and subtle, but they will help to finish off the design nicely.
First, we will draw the face of the Joker card that he is holding.
Finally, there will be a small jester face at the center.
Once these details have been added, you’re free to then add some of your own ideas!
One would be to draw a background.
Adding other characters like Batman or Harley Quinn would also work great.
If you were to pick a different version of the character, which would you choose?
Start off by adding some bright green to his hair.
We will also use some green for his waistcoat to keep to his color scheme.
Then we will use various shades of purple for his suit jacket.
Most of it will be rather bright purples, but we will use some darker shades for shading.
One is by using different art tools and mediums to make the colors pop in different ways.
Using colored pens and markers along with paints, for example, could make some great color contrasts.
Will you use the same colors we did or will you try out some different ones?
Your Joker Drawing is Complete!
That concludes all six steps of this guide on how to draw Joker!
Weve spoken of a few examples such as changing the version of Joker or by adding a background.
For example, another idea would be to fill the background with playing cards.
This would create a more thematic background instead of using an actual setting.
Either approach can work, so it depends on your own preferences.
