Today I’ll break down how to draw Makomo from Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba), focusing on her calm personality and distinctive outfit. Makomo is a gentle character who helped Tanjiro Kamado train for the Final Selection exam alongside Sabito. Let’s focus on the details to get her appearance right.
Makomo’s Appearance Details to Focus On
- Short black hair reaching her shoulders with spiky ends and short bangs.
- Deep cyan eyes with rectangular white pupils fading into lighter turquoise.
- Red yukata with pink and white flower dot patterns.
- Dark-purple sleeveless haori worn over her yukata.
- Paler brown sash tied around her waist.
- Traditional sandals similar to Mitsuri Kanroji’s, tied around the ankle.
- White fox mask decorated with two blue flowers, carved by Sakonji Urokodaki.
Once you’re comfortable sketching Makomo, consider drawing Yoriichi, Inosuke, Zenitsu, or Tanjiro Kamado to complete the Demon Slayer collection.

Now that you know how to draw Makomo, Tanjiro’s Gentle Trainer, try setting the drawing aside and coming back to it in a few days without looking at the steps. You’ll often catch small things to improve, and repeating a drawing like this is one of the best ways to actually make the skill stick. New guides go up regularly on SketchOk’s Pinterest, and video versions of some guides appear on the YouTube channel if you prefer following along that way.
