Channel Your Inner Mahomes: A Hilariously Helpful Guide to Drawing the Kansas City Chiefs Helmet
So, you're a die-hard Chiefs fan, and you bleed red and gold (not literally, that would be messy). You wanna showcase your fandom to the world, but commissioning a Michelangelo-esque portrait of Patrick Mahomes is a tad out of your budget. Fear not, my friend, for there's a simpler solution – drumroll please – drawing the iconic Kansas City Chiefs helmet!
This isn't brain surgery (although if you are a brain surgeon with a Chiefs obsession, this guide is still for you). It's easier than a Sunday morning waffle recipe (though that Kansas City BBQ is a different story). So grab your pencils, unleash your inner artist, and get ready to transform your fridge into a mini-Arrowhead Stadium (minus the screaming fans...probably).
How To Draw Kansas City Chiefs Helmet |
Step 1: Assembling Your Art Arsenal
- Pencil: The basic building block of any artistic masterpiece (or grocery list).
- Paper: Don't use a napkin – unless you're aiming for a truly rustic vibe.
- Eraser: Because mistakes happen, even to the most talented (unlike Chad Henne, who seems incapable of throwing interceptions).
- Optional: Ruler (for the perfectionists), colored pencils/markers (to unleash your inner Picasso), a Chiefs jersey (to truly channel the artistic spirit).
Pro-Tip: If you're feeling fancy, replace the pencil with a charcoal briquette – it adds a certain smoky Kansas City flair (not recommended for beginners).
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
Step 2: Mastering the Basic Shape
Imagine a pointy oval. Now tilt it back a bit, like a rebellious teenager refusing to listen to Coach Reid. That's the basic shape of the helmet. Don't worry if it's not perfect – even Andy Reid's playcalling can be a little wobbly at times.
Subheading: Face Mask Frenzy!
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
Here comes the fun part! The face mask is like the glorious mustache of the helmet. Draw two thick lines coming down from the sides, curving inwards slightly – like a determined Chiefs defender chasing down a runaway Burrow.
Step 3: Arrowhead Awesomeness
Now for the star of the show – the legendary Arrowhead logo! Draw a slanted "V" shape at the front of the helmet. This isn't rocket science, people (although if you are a rocket scientist who loves the Chiefs, this guide is also applicable).
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
Subheading: Don't Forget the Stripes!
Once your Arrowhead is looking sharp, add some horizontal stripes around the bottom of the helmet. Think zebra on a sugar rush – black and white stripes, nice and bold.
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
Step 4: Unleash Your Inner Color Commentator
Here's where things get loud (like a Chiefs home game)! Bust out those colored pencils or markers and transform your masterpiece. Red for the helmet base, yellow for the stripes and the inner outline of the Arrowhead. Now you've got yourself a helmet worthy of a victory dance!
Feeling fancy? Add some shading for a 3D effect (because a flat helmet is just sad).
FAQ: Sharpen Your Skills
- How to make it look like Patrick Mahomes is wearing the helmet? That, my friend, takes some serious artistic talent. Maybe start with a portrait of Clyde Edwards-Helaire for now.
- How to impress my friends with my artistic skills? Casually mention you drew the helmet "freehand" while blindfolded (not recommended, but it might work).
- How to avoid getting banned from the art museum? Don't try to replace the Mona Lisa with your Chiefs helmet drawing. Trust me.
- How to convince my significant other this is a productive use of time? Frame it and say it's a valuable collector's item (it technically is, in the sentimental value department).
- How to celebrate this artistic victory? By cheering on the Chiefs to another Super Bowl win, of course!
