Getting a portrait-style face sketch right means working through proportion, eye placement, and hair flow all at once, and this guide to how to draw the face of C.C. from the Code Geass anime breaks that process down into clear, manageable steps. The result is a colored portrait that captures her school uniform look and the particular sharpness of her expression.
A Portrait Tutorial Built Around Facial Accuracy
The guide runs 11 steps from the initial structure sketch through to a fully colored result. Because this is a close-up face rather than a full-body drawing, most of the work concentrates on proportions: where the eyes sit relative to the nose, how the bangs fall across the forehead, and the subtle angle of her jaw. The blazer and tie appear at the bottom of the frame, which adds a small clothing section without turning this into a full outfit tutorial.
C.C.’s Facial Design: Key Features to Know
- Long bright green hair, straight across forehead
- Sharp golden-yellow eyes, serious expression
- Tan blazer over white collared shirt
- Dark teal necktie at center chest
- Hair falls loosely past the shoulders
If you want more practice with Code Geass characters after this, the full-body C.C. drawing guide covers her complete figure across 16 steps, while Kallen Kozuki’s face is another portrait-format tutorial worth trying back to back with this one. Rolo Lamperouge rounds out that trio if you want a male character in between.
Reading the Color Coding in These Steps
Each step image uses a three-color system to show what is new versus what is already done:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
