A formal, stern portrait of the Military Police commander is what this guide captures, placing Darius Zackly from the Attack on Titan series in a composed, authoritative pose that reflects his position in the story. The how to draw Darius Zackly tutorial works through his rigid, official look in 9 focused steps.
Building the Commander Step by Step
The tutorial runs 9 steps from rough structure to finished line art, with no color stage at the end, so the emphasis stays on clean lines and proportions throughout. This is a portrait-style build, so the face, glasses, and upper coat details carry most of the work. The goatee and rectangular frames require steady, deliberate linework to read clearly at smaller sizes.
Key Features of Zackly’s Design
- Receding hair swept back, long at sides
- Rectangular wire-framed glasses
- Goatee and mustache on stern face
- Formal coat with large oval medallion
- Dark shoulder epaulettes on coat
If you are sketching through the Attack on Titan roster, there are a few others worth working through nearby. Hange Zoe offers a contrasting energy to Zackly’s rigid composure, and the Mikasa face study is a solid follow-up for portrait practice. For something more complex, Eren’s half-titan transformation pushes the linework in a very different direction.
How the Step Colors Work in This Guide
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new and what came before:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
