Here’s a fun simple guide on how to draw a custom cartoon Samurai Rooster character – a bold warrior bird with a cartoonish charm and an old samurai spirit. This 16-step guide focuses on simple lines and shapes to bring together armor details, a sword stance, and expressive posture. If you enjoy designing unique animal characters, this Samurai Rooster drawing is a great piece to practice on.
