How to draw Vi from Arcane in full growth

Arcane built its cast around characters with weight behind them, and Vi is one of those figures who carries that weight even in her earliest scenes. This tutorial covers how to draw Vi in her younger traveler look, a version of the character that rarely gets attention compared to her Arcane combat appearances.

A Young Vi with a Backpack: What Makes This Version Tricky

The guide walks through 38 steps and stays on clean line art without color, so all the focus goes toward getting the shapes and proportions right. The large hiking backpack and diagonal shoulder strap add asymmetry to the upper body, which is the main structural challenge here. The figure is full-body, standing, with enough layered clothing and gear detail that the middle steps carry most of the complexity.

Vi’s Traveler Design: Key Details to Keep in Mind

  • Short curly hair, pulled back loosely
  • Stern, serious facial expression
  • Tank top with shoulder armor and wrap bandages
  • Baggy pants tucked into low boots
  • Large backpack with diagonal shoulder strap

If you want more Arcane characters to sketch, Jinx and grown-up Jinx are both on the site, and Isha from Season 2 is worth a look if you want a more recent addition to the roster.

Reading the Step Colors in This Tutorial

Each step uses a three-color system to make the progression clear:

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