Here are some tips for drawing Michael Jordan:

  • Start by lightly sketching the basic shape of his head and body. Jordan has a narrow yet muscular build.
  • Focus on the proportions - his head is about the same width as his shoulders. Draw his distinctive brow and eyes.
  • Add details to his facial features like his nose, lips and chin. Jordan has sharp, defined features.
  • Sketch in his jersey, shorts and shoes. Make sure to get the folds and creases in the fabric right.
  • Add basketball in his hands. Jordan is usually drawn in action, dribbling or leaping towards the hoop.
  • Shade and define muscles in his arms, legs and core. Jordan had an incredibly athletic physique.
  • Add details like sweat, shadows and highlights as needed. Draw wires or patterns on his sneakers.
  • Consider drawing Jordan doing his signature fadeaway jumpshot for an iconic portrait.

With practice, you can capture Jordan's likeness, poses and body language that made him a legendary basketball player. Start simple and build up details over multiple drawings.
