Some tutorials I upload today will be based on some popular
figures from world history. To start I wanted to show you guys
"how to draw Christopher Columbus", step by step. Now despite
what some people believe Christopher Columbus was in fact an
Italian explorer, not Spanish. His travels began in 1492, and
ended in 1504. He made a total of four trips around the world
for different reasons but we all know why he made these
journeys, because he was an explorer through and through. He is
known for his trip back in 1492 when he sailed across the
Atlantic in search of a trade route to India for their spices.
His first real travels began when King Ferdinand II and Queen
Isabella of Spain wanted him to start an expedition using three
vessels; the Pinta which was owned by Martin Alonzo Pinzon, the
Nina, a vessel that was captained by Vicente Pinzon, and the
Santa Maria, the ship that Christopher himself captained. There
was roughly ninety men that was part of the crew and they all
set sail together on August 3, 1492.
