Draw a Superhero Profile in Under Five Minutes!

Superheroes assemble!



Learn how to draw the profile of a superhero with a new tutorial from Bobby Chiu (@bobbychiu-official)! For every qualified submission between now and March 21, DeviantArt will donate $1.00 USD to The Superhero Project — up to $5,000 USD! 



The simple breakdown of steps can be used to create characters of all kinds, but the focus on superheroes is to honor The Superhero Project — a non-profit organization that empowers youth with serious illnesses and special needs. Guided by core values of imagination, inclusion, representation, and joy, The Superhero Project creates a caring global community of children, families and artists.



Take part to help raise money for a good cause, and earn a powerful new profile badge in the process! Artwork must be created for the tutorial between March 7 and March 21.



Watch the tutorial to discover what shapes help make a superhero profile come to life!
