Step 1: Draw the shape for the jersey. It is about three times as tall as it is wide. Leave enough room on the top for the head and the bottom for the legs.

Step 2: Draw in the three shapes that you see. The first is similar to a banana and the second and third are circular. Notice their placement compared to the jersey shape.

Step 3: Add in the arms.....Wait! Dont freak out! This step is easy if you see the 2 trapezoid shapes in between the arms and torso.

Step 4: Add Amar'e's basketball shorts and his legs. Together they are similar in height to his basketball jersey.

Step 5: Add the shape for the neck.

Step 6: Sculpt the hands out of the shapes from step 2. Use the original shape as your guide.

Step 7: Add the folds and the star to his shorts. These do not have to be perfect.

Step 8: Add the star and the upside down house shape to his jersey. Ignore the head for now. I will give you a close up and detailed instructions on that in a minute.

Step 9: Use the nagative space to sculpt out the letters E.A.S.T. in the upside down house shape.

Step 10: Add the number one below the star and the word "the" above the word East. Also darken the collar and add the shapes for the folds on the shoulders of the jersey,

Step 11: Add the four shapes for Amare's mouth and facial hair. We will add more shapes to this in the next step. For this step, it is helpful to notice the diamond shape around the mouth.

Step 12: Add the line that I just added to form the top lip, below the moustache.

Step 13 is the trickiest step. There are 7 teeth visable. The two front teeth in the center. Three to your left and two to your right. One is blocked in shadow. Notice that there is more space below the teeth than above the teeth. Draw what you see.

Step 14: Add the nose shape. Notice where it lines up to the smile lines from the previous step. It is ok to shade the nostrils very dark because they will be in shadow.

Step 16: Extend the head and draw in the shape for the eyes.

Step 17: Add the ears. Notice that the bottom of the ear shapes line up with the bottom of the nose.

Step 18: Add the hair.

Step 19: Add the eyebrows.

Step 20: Add the shape for the eyes.

Step 21: Shade the eyes. Notice that the lines get thicker as they move towards the ears. Leave a small space in each eye for a highlight.
