To draw Ludwig van Beethoven, you will need a pencil (easier) or pen (harder) plus a piece of paper.
Start by sketching out Beethoven’s slightly scowling eyes and eyebrows. Then, add more details by adding his nose and mouth. After that, start adding the basic shape of Beethoven’s face. Once you’re satisfied with the overall shape, add his hair and wrinkles to his forehead and around his eyes to give his face a more realistic appearance. Don’t forget to add his collar, the lapels on his jacket, and the buttons on his shirt.
Remember to take your time and have fun with it! There is no such thing as a perfect drawing, so don’t be afraid to own your style.
We’d love to see how your Beethoven sketch turns out, so send it along to us by email.
