The mid-transformation face, caught between human and titan, is what this guide sets out to draw, and it fits right into the Attack on Titan collection of tutorials on the site. Learning how to draw Annie Leonhart’s titan/human face means working through some details that standard portrait sketches simply don’t cover.
What Makes This Face Hard to Draw
The tutorial runs 21 steps and covers a close-up face with no body or background to worry about, so every step goes toward getting the facial asymmetry right. The tricky part is the contrast between the normal human side and the scaled, reptilian side, which means the linework has to shift in character halfway across the face. This is line art only, so the entire focus stays on shapes, texture patterns, and clean edges.
Annie Leonhart’s Titan Form: Key Visual Features
- Medium hair with side-swept bangs
- One eye showing reptilian scale texture
- Stern, closed-off facial expression
- Small braid section on the right side
- Scale markings across the left cheek
If you want to sketch the fully human version first, the Annie Leonhardt character tutorial is a good starting point before tackling this hybrid version. For more face-focused practice from the same series, check out Armin Arlert’s face or the step-by-step for Bertholdt Hoover’s face, both of which work through similar portrait proportions.
Reading 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.

Once the drawing is done, drop it in the comments below. Seeing how different people handle the scaled side versus the human side is always worth looking at. New tutorials get posted to Facebook and Telegram as soon as they go live, a new YouTube video based on existing guides goes up every day, and Pinterest stays updated regularly too. If you enjoyed this one, the titan-human crossover tutorial for Eren Jaeger’s half-human half-titan form covers similar territory, and Hange Zoe is worth adding to the list after that.
