Code Geass built its cast around characters who carry both military authority and personal weight, and Cornelia li Britannia sits firmly at that intersection as the Second Princess of Britannia. This step-by-step guide covers how to draw Cornelia li Britannia, adding another face to the growing Code Geass roster of tutorials on the site.
What Makes This a Useful Portrait to Practice
The tutorial runs through 12 steps and ends on a fully colored result, so there is work both on clean linework and on the color pass at the end. Cornelia is drawn as a bust-style portrait, which keeps the focus tightly on her face, hair structure, and upper armor details. The gold trim and layered clothing pieces give the line art real complexity before color even comes into the picture.
Cornelia li Britannia: Key Visual Features
- Long pink-purple hair, partial braid updo
- Sharp blue-gray eyes, serious expression
- Dark cape with pointed collar wings
- White and dark red armored bodice, gold trim
- Gold decorative shoulder straps fanning outward
If you want more Code Geass characters to sketch, the guide for C.C. runs 16 steps and covers her distinctive hair and outfit. Shirley Fenette is another solid option if you want to practice a softer character design, and the face of Lelouch vi Britannia tutorial focuses specifically on facial proportions for that series.
Understanding the Color Coding in the Steps
Each step image uses a three-color system to show 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.
