If you want to learn how to draw Momo Ayase from the anime Dandadan, this guide will walk you through the process step by step. With her signature kogal-inspired look and her confident personality, capturing her in a full-body sketch is fun. I’ll try to keep it simple and approachable, so you can focus on bringing her character to life.

Unique Traits of Momo Ayase to Focus On

Momo Ayase is the main female protagonist of the Dandadan series. Here are some key features to keep in mind when drawing her:

• Hair: Medium-length brown hair, mostly framing the right side of her face.
• Eyes: Large brown eyes.
• Outfit: A school uniform featuring a loose bow, a pink sweater, oversized socks, and sandals. She also sports circular earrings and a black choker.
• Posture: Momo often stands confidently, with a bit of a laid-back attitude in her body language.

If you’re interested in drawing other characters next, consider giving Okarun, the male protagonist, a try. He has his own set of unique features that can be fun to capture in a sketch. And don’t forget about Aira, Jiji and Seiko Ayase, grandmother of Momo.

Color Cues for This Drawing

In the images that guide you through this tutorial, you’ll see different colors to help you understand each step better. Here’s what each color represents:

• Red Color: Focus on the current lines you’re drawing in this step.
• Black Color: Represents lines you have already completed in earlier steps.
• Grey Color: These are the basic sketch or construction lines that help guide the structure.

These colors will help you follow the steps with ease, ensuring you know exactly what part of the Momo drawing to work on at any given moment.

Step 1: Start with a basic stick figure to establish the pose and proportions, marking the joints. Draw a circle for the head, a chin shape below the circle, and add crossing horizontal and vertical lines to center the face. Sketch short lines for the nose and mouth.

Step 2: Roughly sketch the overall figure and clothing shape with simple lines. Add the ear shape and two short lines on the horizontal face guide for the eyes, and another line on the vertical guide for the nose.

Step 3: Define the face frame with the chin and ear, leaving the upper part of the head blank for now.

Step 4: Draw the fringe and outline the hairline to frame the top of the face. Add the second ear and draw ovals for Momo’s earrings.

Step 5: Sketch the overall hairstyle outline, shaping Momo Ayase’s medium-length hair.

Step 6: Outline her eyes, draw two small nostrils, and sketch a simple line for her mouth. Add the first inner ear line in the left ear.

Step 7: Add the eyeballs with anime-style pupils and highlights. Draw her eyelashes, upper eyelids, and eyebrows with simple lines. Finish the right ear details and draw a second inner line in the left ear, with a small circle where the earring hangs.

Step 8: Draw her neck and the collar of her shirt, connecting her head to her body.

Step 9: Add the large bow just below her collar.

Step 10: Draw her shoulders and the full sleeve of her oversized sweater on the right side from our view, and sketch the sleeve up to the elbow on the left side.

Step 11: Draw her right hand resting on her waist, paying attention to the hand’s proportions.

Step 12: Outline the body of her sweater.

Step 13: Sketch her skirt, adding the pleated detail to match her school uniform style.

Step 14: Draw her legs, keeping them proportionate, and add the baggy socks down to where they meet the shoes.

Step 15: Add the outline for her socks as they connect to the shoes. Sketch the basic shoe shape without much detail yet.

Step 16: Sketch the sleeve on the left arm and draw the visible part of her hand.

Step 17: Add more details to the shoes and draw the folds on her socks. Add knee details for better leg definition.

Step 18: Draw additional hair strands for more texture and natural flow in her hairstyle.

Step 19: Add the folds to her sweater, and finish the details on her collar and bow.

Step 20: Observe the sketch to check if anything needs adjusting. Erase the basic sketch lines, or optionally ink the drawing with a steady hand. Once the ink dries, erase any remaining pencil marks.

Step 21: Optionally color the drawing, using the provided image as a reference for Momo’s typical colors, or feel free to add your own unique color choices.
