Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Draw the Hair
Sketch a rounded mass of short, pointed hair around the head. Add several curved inner locks above the open face area.
Pro Tip: Alternate large and small spikes for a lively silhouette.
Step 2: Add the Facial Features
Draw two round eyes beneath curved upper lines and brows. Add a small open smiling mouth with a horizontal inner line.
Pro Tip: Keep the eyes evenly spaced around the vertical center.
Step 3: Complete the Head
Add a rounded ear on each side of the face. Connect them with a broad curved jaw beneath the mouth.
Pro Tip: Place both ears level with the lower halves of the eyes.
Step 4: Draw the Upper Outfit
Add a small standing collar and a long open outer coat. Draw the uniform center lines, bent sleeves, and simple rounded hands.
Pro Tip: Keep the coat panels symmetrical around the uniform center.
Step 5: Add the Belt and Sword
Draw a segmented belt across the waist. Place a textured sword handle in the raised hand and extend the sheath diagonally downward.
Pro Tip: Use two parallel lines to keep the long sheath straight.
Step 6: Finish the Legs and Shoes
Add short divided trousers below the coat. Draw two wrapped lower legs and finish them with small flat shoes.
Pro Tip: Align the shoe bottoms for a steady standing pose.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
