How to Draw a Greek Helmet

Video Transcript

"Hello there, I'm Ralph Papa from papagallery.com and today we're learning how to draw. In this clip I'm going to show you how to draw a Greek helmet. We want it to be a helmet, it's similar to what you'd see in the movies, you know, the Greek and Trojan wars. We'll start off with this helmet sort of facing out at you. So you're looking at it from a three quarter view. And all I'm doing right now is the face of the helmet with the top of it here. Now we're going to bring out the helmet on the side and then continue on this side and now we're going to pull it down to where the face would go into the helmet. And this is basically a shape of what that helmet would look like without someone in it. Now it usually up at the top, they have this feathery look coming back and right down to the bottom, so like this in a sort of ornamental. And if you can think back the Greek and the Trojan wars, this is pretty much what the kind of helmet you'd see. Now to accent it, behind here is the inside of helmet, where the light wouldn't be hitting it so we can darken back in here; so that's coming from behind. And then we can also give a little tone to the side of the helmet showing that the light is coming from the other side. And there's like the helmet; you see we have that shape that we'd fit on a head and if there was somebody in here, their eyes would be here and the mouth would be here and basically the person would fit in there. So we can almost form it around and show you what a person would look like in that helmet. So again, with sort of makes it like it's Greek, it's button is nice, feathery, fancy decoration up at the top. This has been Ralph Papa and thank you for watching."
