Step 1

Basic outline:
Start by sketching an outline of Cable’s body pose. Start with a stick figure to map out his pose and proportions. Cable is often portrayed as a tall, muscular character, so emphasize his broad shoulders and strong frame.

Step 2

Facial features:
Sketch his facial features. Cable often has a stern or determined expression. Draw his eyes, which are often very focused and intense. Add a strong nose and jawline. Don’t forget the signature scars on his face if you want to include them.

Step 3

Hair and details:
Cables usually have short, white or silver bristles. Outline his hairstyle, which could include a light cut or a military cut.
Add additional details like his cybernetic eyes, which often have a glowing or mechanical appearance, and any other cybernetic enhancements he’s famous for.

Step 4

Costumes and equipment:
Draw Cable’s outfit typically consists of a jumpsuit or tactical armor adorned with various straps, belts, and pockets. Pay attention to the details of his outfit, such as armor plating, ammunition, and technological elements.
Includes his signature accessories such as a large shoulder pad on one side, which is often part of his cybernetic enhancements.

Step 5

Muscle definition:
Cable is known for his muscular physique. Refine the outline, adding muscle definition to his arms, chest and legs. Pay attention to the anatomy while adding muscle to ensure a strong and realistic look.

Step 6

Once you are satisfied with the sketch, use a fine-tipped black pen or marker to go over the final lines to emphasize and define the outlines. Erase any remaining outlines after inking.

Step 7

Color
If you choose to color your drawing, use colors that match Cable’s typical appearance. He often wears dark clothing, while his cybernetic eyes can glow blue or red. Use shades and highlights to add depth to the drawing.
