Adolf Hitler is arguably one of, if not, the worst humans who has ever lived. He is known for orchestrating the worst crime against humanity, the Holocaust. With this in mind, you might be wondering why anybody would ever want to draw him, but there are some valid reasons. Whether you want to draw him for a political cartoon, offer criticism, or teach people about World War 2, this wikiHow will teach you how.

Draw a horizontal line across the circle slightly below the center. Draw another horizontal line parallel to the first one, within and near the bottom of the circle. Let all these horizontal lines intersect the vertical line by their middle.
Use the horizontal-vertical line guides. Trace the outline of his ears, jaws and chin.
As a guide for his body, draw polygon patterns. Make it smaller in proportion to his head.
Start with the uniform details of his torso.

This will serve as the outline for his chin and jaw.
Draw a pair of parallel horizontal line near the bottom of the circle. Draw another horizontal line below and outside the circle; about halfway within the spade-shape. Let all these horizontal lines intersect the vertical line by their middle.
On each side of this rectangle, draw an arc to be a guide for his shoulders.
Using the horizontal-vertical line guides you've traced earlier, start drawing the eyes, nose, mouth and his trademark toothbrush mustache.
Draw his uniform details.

You might be doing a report for school that requires illustrations, or maybe you're writing a comic book that includes a scene about Hitler. There's nothing wrong with drawing someone.

You have to truly visualize the face in front of you before you start to draw it. Try to find good portrait and photographic references so you can draw the face accurately.
