A slight upward angle gives Armin Arlert’s face a quiet intensity that is harder to capture than a straight-on portrait, and this guide through the Attack on Titan tutorial collection walks through exactly how to draw Armin Arlert’s face with that tilt intact across 9 clean steps.
What This Step-by-Step Sketch Covers
The tutorial runs 9 steps and ends on black and white line art with no color fill, so the entire focus stays on getting the proportions and line work right. The upward angle means the facial guidelines sit off-center, which is where most of the structural work happens early on before the details come in.
Armin’s Facial Features to Watch For
- Short bob haircut with jagged bangs
- Large round expressive anime eyes
- Serious, neutral facial expression
- Collared jacket visible at neckline
- Face drawn at a slight upward angle
If you are working through Attack on Titan character portraits, Mikasa Ackerman’s face and Eren Jaeger’s face follow a similar portrait format and pair well with this one. For something with more going on structurally, the guide for Hange Zoe adds glasses and gear into the mix.
Reading the Step Colors in This Tutorial
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what changes at each stage:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
