Once the basic King Von clicks, run it through these variations — each one practices a different skill while staying on a subject you already know.
-
A cozy bundled-up figure
Big coat, big scarf, small visible face — winter clothing hides anatomy while you practice everything else.
-
A back-view King Von
No face required: hair, shoulders, and posture carry everything. The most confidence-building people drawing there is.
-
King Von in profile silhouette
One side-view outline filled solid black — profile practice with a dramatic result.

A gesture-pose minute study
Set a timer for 60 seconds and capture just the motion line and weight — repeat five times, keep the best.

Hands holding something small
A mug, a phone, a flower — drawing hands WITH objects is easier than empty hands, and endlessly useful.
Tips for Better King Von Drawings
- Eyes sit at the vertical middle of the head — everyone places them too high at first. Measure it once on any photo and you’ll never unsee it.
- Draw the spaces between features, not just the features. The distance from nose to mouth matters more than the nose or the mouth.
