Hey there, fellow artists! Are you ready to take your drawing skills to the next level? Are you ready to tackle one of the most iconic forms in the Dragon Ball franchise? Well, get ready, because today we’re going to be learning how to draw Super Saiyan 3 Goku!
But first, let’s take a closer look at this transformation and the character who made it famous.
Overview of Super Saiyan 3 Goku’s Appearance
Super Saiyan 3 is the third and most powerful form of Super Saiyan, and Goku was the first to achieve it after years of training in Other World. This form extracts every drop of potential from a Saiyan’s blood, resulting in a dramatic increase in power, speed, and energy.
The transformation causes some significant changes in physical appearance, including longer hair, a more prominent brow ridge, and defined muscle tone. The Saiyan’s voice may become slightly deeper, and the energy radiation is so great that the aura pulses at an extremely high frequency.
