If you’re keen on manga and drawing, this tutorial will walk you through the process of how to draw Ryuji Suguro from Blue Exorcist.
Capturing Ryuji Suguro’s Features
- Start with Ryuji’s signature hair: short, with a prominent blond streak, although he later shaves this off.
- Note his small goatee and the stern expression which gives him a tough demeanor.
- Include the details of his multiple ear piercings.
- His attire is typical of True Cross Academy’s uniform, but you’ll need to pay special attention to the beige vest and the pink “V” that adds character to his school look.
- Considering drawing other characters like Yukio Okumura for a group illustration or for practice on different expressions and styles.
Understanding This Drawing Guide
This guide will provide you with a sequence of 14 images, leading you step-by-step to a completed Ryuji Suguro drawing. It’s a structured approach to help you build up the drawing from basic shapes to the finished sketch.
- Grey Color: outlines the initial sketch, forming Ryuji’s basic structure.
- Black Color: tracks the progression from previous steps, guiding you as you advance.
- Red Color: highlights the elements to be added in the current step, keeping you on track.
The inking stage is crucial; it brings out the life in your drawing. Once the ink dries, carefully erase the underlying pencil lines for a clean, crisp finish.
