This guide shows how to draw Goku in his Super Saiyan 1 form from the Dragon Ball series. This is the full-body pose with clenched fists and his signature upright hair. The structure is mostly symmetrical and can be considered moderately complex because of the detailed hair and folded clothing.
What to Focus On When Drawing Goku Super Saiyan 1
- Sharp, layered Super Saiyan hair styled upward in spikes
- Serious facial expression with furrowed eyebrows and narrow eyes
- Wrinkled Gi top tucked into a thick belt
- Muscular arm structure with clenched fists
- Loose pants and mid-calf boots
If you want to continue with Dragon Ball characters, next you can try Vegeta SSB, Broly, Great Ape Goku, or Shen Long as well.
