Dr. Stone built its cast around contrasts, and Kohaku sits at the center of that dynamic as the tribal warrior with sharp instincts and sharper hair. This step-by-step tutorial on how to draw Kohaku’s face works through her portrait across 19 steps, all within the growing collection of Dr. Stone drawing guides on the site.
A Portrait That Packs More Complexity Than It First Appears
The tutorial runs through 19 steps and delivers clean line art with no color fill, so every step focuses purely on shape and line confidence. The face is a front-facing portrait, which means proportions and symmetry carry all the weight here. The spiky side tufts in the hair add asymmetric texture that takes the most patience to get right.
Kohaku’s Key Design Features
- Short bob with wild spiky tufts on both sides
- Bow or ribbon accessory at top of head
- Large manga-style eyes with highlight marks
- Neutral closed-mouth expression
- Simple top with visible collar at neckline
If you want more Dr. Stone face practice, Taiju Oki’s face is a good companion sketch with a different set of proportion challenges. For something with more energy in the pose, the Nikki Hanada warrior stance walkthrough is worth a look, and Homura Momiji rounds out the female character lineup nicely.
Reading the Color Code in the Step Images
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what changes at each stage:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
