ntire figure and draw the emblems and trim that decorate the uniform. He has stripes wrapping around different parts of the uniform. He also has his number, 99, on his upper sleeves and at the top of his gloves. The words "Oilers" should be prominent on his chest.
Now that we are done penciling the image, we can ink it using a Micron marker or a brush and India ink. Carefully go over each line with patience and be sure not to accidentally ink any unneeded guide lines. Use a ruler to help ink the hockey stick. A brush works great when inking large crease in fabric, whereas a Micron works great for the hockey stick and jersey emblems. When the ink is dry, erase your pencil marks with a kneaded eraser.
You can add more depth to the image by giving it shadow. Establish your light source and use black ink or a fat tipped black marker to shade the alongside thick creases and parts of the face. Since his uniform is mostly a dark blue color, the front of his jersey should be almost completely blacked out, as well as his gloves and skates. The shading on his padding and helmet should be large and smooth.
If you need to make any corrections, use white ink or opaque white paint. You can also use it to add highlights if needed. And that's how you draw the one and only Wayne Gretzky! Nice work, hockey fan!
