How to Draw Leone (Akame Ga Kill)

Building a half-obscured face with wild flowing hair takes real attention to negative space, and that is exactly the skill this guide focuses on as it walks through how to draw Leone from the Akame Ga Kill series. The hair-over-one-eye framing requires careful line placement to read correctly, so the 12 steps are paced to handle that before anything else.

What the 12-Step Tutorial Covers

This is a bust-length pose rather than full body, which keeps all 12 steps focused on the upper figure and face. The trickiest part is getting the hair mass to sit naturally while still framing the single visible eye. The result is clean line art with no color fill, so line confidence matters throughout.

Leone’s Key Visual Traits

Long flowing hair with wild spiky ends
One eye visible, hair covers the other
Off-shoulder crop top, loose sleeves
Confident smile, relaxed expression
Peace sign raised with one hand

If you want to stay in the same series after finishing this one, the Akame tutorial is the natural next step. For more anime practice outside the series, Yuuki Asuna and Kirito are both worth working through.

Understanding the Step Colors

Each step image uses a three-color system to show progress clearly:

Red Color: lines added in the current step.
Black Color: lines completed earlier.
Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
