Draw Dende

Artist comments
Every good storyline has to have some sort offigure that has the ability to heal people. Of course I’m talking about fantasy flicks, video game plots, and even cartoons and anime. I thought I would submit another lesson on a DBZ character that looks a little like a miniature version of Piccolo, but I guess that’s because they are both Namekian. Who am I talking about? You will be learning “how to draw Dende”, step by step. He is considered to be the guardian of earth, as well as a healer. He doesn’t have any fighting abilities but when someone needs to be rejuvenated or healed, Dende is the one to turn to. One of the reasons why he is so important is because he is as smart as can be. He is also a character that is always helping out situations before they get worst. Dende was first introduced to the Dragon Ball lineupduring the Namek saga. He has appeared in both Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT. Did you know that when Dende created the new Dragonballs, he made it so that two wishes could be made instead of only one? Dende is a very easy character to draw and I think it’s because he is so small. When you tackle this lesson on “how to draw Dende”, you will have a new figure from DBZ that is considered to be an important character of the series for both anime and manga. I will leave you all now because I have more to upload. Stay tuned in to see what else I have in store for ya’ll. Well guys peace out and have fun.
