Code Geass built its identity around characters whose faces carry the weight of every scene, and Lelouch vi Britannia sits at the center of that tradition. This tutorial walks through how to draw the face of Lelouch vi Britannia, including his most defining visual moment, the active Geass eye, alongside the rest of the Code Geass character lineup on the site.
A Portrait That Packs Complexity Into 9 Steps
The guide runs through 9 steps from rough structure to a fully colored result, so the finish line includes color matching for both the hair and the mismatched eyes. Most of the difficulty sits in the upper face: the angular brow, the glowing pink right eye representing the active Geass, and the overall sharpness of his features. The rest of the face comes together faster once that eye is working.
What to Expect From Lelouch’s Design
- Dark brown messy hair, side-swept bangs
- Left eye purple, right eye glowing pink
- Sharp angular face, intense expression
- Blue jacket collar, white cravat at neck
- Slight confident smirk
If you are working through the Code Geass cast, the C.C. face tutorial covers similar portrait construction and is worth pairing with this one. For the full-body version of the same character, there is also Lelouch Lamperouge full body, and Kallen Kozuki’s face follows the same portrait format if you want to keep building the roster.
Reading the Step Colors in This Guide
Each step uses a three-color system to show what to draw and when:
