How to Draw Batman – Let’s get Started!

Step 1drawing Batman step 1

We will start this guide on how to draw Batman with his head. Batman wears a distinctive mask that has two pointy ears on top.

His eyes also appear blank and white, and there is also an opening in front of his mouth and chin.

This is quite a detailed drawing, so be sure to refer closely to the reference image as you draw!  You could start off by drawing a rough head shape using a pencil to make it easier.

Then, add some of the finer details such as the pointy ears and his serious-looking eyes. Then, be sure to add his facial details such as his nose and mouth, and then add some details for his chin and some lines above his eyes.

Finally, draw some lines beneath his chin for the curve of his neck, and then finish off by starting his shoulders with some more curvy lines.

Step 2 – Next, draw his chest and armsdrawing Batman step 2

For the second part of your Batman drawing, we will draw his chest and start his arms. First, finish off the base of his mask that extends down to his shoulders.

Then we will use some rounded lines for his shoulders, and then use some more for the muscles of his arms.

Once those have been started, we can move on to his chest. This will be drawn with some rounded lines, and then we will be drawing the signature bat symbol on his chest.

Finish off with some more rounded lines for his waist, and then we’re ready for step 3!

Step 3 – Now, finish off his arms, waist and beltdrawing Batman step 3

We will be working on a few aspects for this part of our guide on how to draw Batman. First, we will draw the rest of his arms.

His gloves extend almost up to his elbows, and they have three spiky parts poking off of them. Next, we will be drawing the musculature of his chest and waist using lots of smaller curved lines.

Batman is well known for his utility belt full of gadgets, and we will draw that now as well.

Simply draw some small pouches attached to some horizontal straight lines to draw his belt, and then it’s time for step 4.

Step 4 – Next, start drawing his cape and legsdrawing Batman step 4

Batman wouldn’t look as cool without his cape, so we will start to draw that now! To draw it, extend a curved line down and outward a bit from the arm on the left.

This cape will also have some spiky curves at the bottom of it. Then, we will be using some more curved and rounded lines to draw his hips and the top halves of his legs.

Once it looks like it does in our reference image then we’re ready to move on!

Step 5 – Now, finish off your Batman drawingdrawing Batman step 5

To finish off the final details of this guide on how to draw Batman, we will be drawing some more of his cape and finish off his legs too.

First, draw another long and curvy shape with sharp points at the end on the right-hand side to make his cape look even flowier.

Then, we will finish off his legs. We will be drawing his boots that extend until just under his knees. Once you have replicated his boots as they appear in the image, you’re ready to add some color!

Before you do, this is your chance to add some final details and elements of your own. Perhaps you could draw a background such as him standing high up on a building in Gotham City!

You could also add some more characters such as his sidekick Robin or maybe even one of his enemies such as the Joker. What else can you think of to finish off this Batman drawing?

Bonus: Represent Some Of Batman’s Other Looks In This Drawing

In the many decades that Batman has been starring in comics, films and other media, he has had countless interpretations when it comes to the style that he is drawn and portrayed in.

In this guide on how to draw Batman, we went with a very modern interpretation of the character as he appears in recent comics. If you are a huge Batman fan and have other looks for the hero that you love, it could be fun to draw them!

You could do so while still following the guide as well. First, you could begin by choosing the style you would like to emulate.

It could be based on an old comic, a newer cartoon or even one of the films. Then, try to take note of the style and details of your chosen look.

You could then go through the guide and then change any details to fit your chosen style. It could be limited to smaller details on his suit, or you could entirely change the proportions of the character for a more stylized look.

Another way you could change the design would be to draw him without his mask on. You could use a Bruce Wayne design from the comics or maybe use one of the actors who have portrayed him on the big screen.

If you change the style of Batman, then the background could also reflect the style and have some references to the source material. There are so many ways to show off your favorite Batman media!

The colors you use can also really contribute, as some interpretations have been dark and dour while others are bright and colorgul.

In this final part of your Batman drawing, we will be finishing it off with some color. There are a few approaches you could take to do this, as Batman has had a few different suit variations throughout the years.

In our reference image, we went with his more modern look which has him in darker shades of grey and black with yellow for his belt.

You could also go for this look, but you could also use one of his other color schemes such as when he had blue and grey as his main color scheme.

Once you have decided on which Batman era you would like to represent, you can then pick the art mediums and tools you will use to finish it off. You could use some paint variations or go with colored pens, pencils or crayons for a few ideas.
