How to Draw Thor
- Draw the Head Shape
Start by drawing the outline of Thor’s head — a tall oval shape with a slightly pointed chin. You need to form the shape of the helmet right away. Then add the nose and eyes, as in the example.
- Detail the Head
Draw Thor’s smiling mouth. Sketch a line for his helmet’s front edge across his forehead.
- Draw the Hair
Now, sketch Thor’s long hair on both sides of his head. Let it fall freely past his shoulders.
- Add Helmet Wings and Upper Body Shape
Draw the large, feathered wings of Thor’s helmet on each side. Then sketch his torso — a wide armor shape, like an upside-down trapezoid.
- Add Armor Details
Inside the torso shape, draw four circles — two on each side — to represent the circular plates on his armor. Also add a belt and upper torso plate.
- Draw the Arms and Legs
Add Thor’s strong arms. Start with his shoulders and arms bent at the elbows, one arm down and one prepared to hold the hammer. Then, sketch Thor’s legs in a wide stance. Use simple, strong shapes for each leg.
- Draw Thor’s Hands and Armor Details
Now it’s time to finish drawing Thor’s powerful arms by adding his fists. Carefully sketch both hands in a clenched position, showing his strength and readiness for battle.
Next, add small armor details — draw the wristbands (bracelets) on each arm and knee pads (knee guards) on his legs. These parts of his costume help complete his warrior look.
- Draw Thor’s Hammer Head and Boots
In this step, begin by drawing the top (metal) part of Mjölnir, Thor’s legendary hammer. It’s a rectangular block with clean lines to give it a strong, heavy appearance.
After that, draw Thor’s boots at the bottom of each leg. These boots complete the lower part of his superhero costume.
- Add Mjölnir’s Details and Thor’s Cape
Let’s make Mjölnir look more realistic by adding volume and depth — draw the second side of the hammer to give it a 3D effect, and then add the handle (grip).
Finally, draw Thor’s majestic cape flowing behind him. It attaches near his shoulders and curves around to show movement and power, adding even more heroism to your drawing.
- Color the Drawing
Trace over your drawing with a black pen or marker. Then, color Thor! Use red for the cape, silver/gray for the helmet and armor, blue for the pants, and yellow for the boots and belt. Don’t forget to color Mjölnir in gray too!
You Did It – You Drew Thor!
Awesome job! You’ve just finished your drawing of Thor, complete with his powerful stance, helmet wings, and legendary hammer Mjölnir. Whether you followed along digitally or with pencil and paper, you’ve created your own superhero artwork.
