Drawing a full-body figure with two extended blades, flowing coat, and ODM gear strapped at the hips is one of the more complex setups in the Attack on Titan tutorial collection, and this guide on how to draw Mikasa Ackerman with her weapons works through all of it across 17 steps. The coat silhouette, blade angles, and equipment details each demand careful attention to proportion and line placement.
What Makes This 17-Step Walkthrough Work
The tutorial builds a full-body standing figure with both blades extended outward and a coat that sweeps wide below the waist, so balancing the left and right sides consistently is the main structural challenge. The 17 steps are paced to set up the large shapes first, then layer in the ODM harness, coat folds, and blade lines progressively. The final result is clean line art with no color, which keeps the focus on confident, accurate outlines.
Key Features of Mikasa’s Design in This Drawing
- Short bob hair with side-swept bangs
- Serious expression with defined eyes
- Long coat open at the front
- Scarf wrapped around the neck
- ODM gear and equipment boxes at hips
If you want more practice with this character, Mikasa’s face is a good starting point before tackling the full body. For other Survey Corps members, there are also tutorials for Hange Zoe and for Eren Jaeger with his weapons, which follows a similar armed full-body format.
Reading the Step Colors in the Tutorial Images
Each step image uses a three-color system to show what is new and what is already done:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
