An oval for the head, then a line from the top of the oval to the bottom slightly to the left because Messi is looking in that direction.

Then lines indicating the hair, the eyes, the nose and the mouth.

By following the step-by-step progression you will discover you have drawn Messi’s portrait.

DRAWING MESSI IN ACTION

Here's the essential elements, with no previous experience required - just guidelines and practice.
