Step-by-Step Guide: Harnessing the Power of SSGSS
Our step-by-step guide will help you create a stunning drawing of Goku in his SSGSS form. Remember, the red color in the guide images represents the current drawing step, the grey color shows the basic proportions sketch, and the black color indicates the previously drawn lines.
Part 1: Laying the Foundations of Strength
Start your drawing by creating a basic sketch of Goku’s structure using light pencil strokes. This first step is crucial for establishing accurate proportions and setting the stage for adding details later on.
Part 2: Honing the Details of a Super Saiyan
With your basic sketch in place, it’s time to refine it by adding details and enhancing the proportions. Pay close attention to the guide images and use them to capture Goku’s unique features and powerful stance.
Part 3: Inking with Precision and Power
Now that your refined sketch is complete, it’s time to ink your drawing. Carefully outline Goku in his SSGSS form and add any final touches to ensure he looks as powerful as he truly is. When ink dries, gently erase the pencil sketch or any pencil marks.

Q: How do I create depth in my Goku SSGSS drawing?
A: Creating depth in your Goku SSGSS drawing involves using shading techniques, perspective, and line weight variations. Start by studying light sources and how they affect the shading on Goku’s body and clothing. Use darker shades for areas that are further from the light source and lighter shades for areas closer to it.

Pay close attention to the spiky strands and the way they flow upwards and outwards from his head. Use the guide images as a reference for capturing the unique look of his hair. When coloring, choose a vibrant blue shade that accurately represents the iconic Super Saiyan Blue transformation. Add highlights and shading to give the hair depth and dimension.
