The armor of the medieval knights, were a very important technological advance of the medieval era. The blacksmiths who managed to make these armor, were great artists. On this occasion, I wanted to make the drawing of the helmet of a medieval armor. Hope you like.
Medieval helmet
Materials
- HB pencil
- Paper
- Draft
Process
1
I started by drawing the front of the helmet, which protects the knight's face.
2
I finished the front part of the helmet, playing with the shades of graphite, trying to simulate the surface of the steel.
3
I continued using the same method with the rest of the helmet, accentuating the darker areas to get a good contrast.
4
Then I drew the back of the helmet. As you can see, the use of shadows with graphite is what achieves a realistic result. You do not have to be afraid of graphite, because marking the dark areas properly is what gives beauty to the finish.

Résult
Finally, I added a shadow on the bottom of the helmet, to get a three-dimensional effect.
For me it was difficult to make this drawing. Can you imagine how difficult it was to make an armor with steel? It must be really complicated. I hope you liked the drawing, you can support me with your vote if you wish.
Thank you
