Understanding Frieren’s Appearance

• Focus on her large, expressive eyes and long, white hair styled into two pigtails.
• Her attire, a combination of a striped shirt, a white jacket with gold accents, and a high-collared cape.
• Pay attention to the earrings that complement her outfit.

To expand your anime characters portfolio, or to add story to your drawing, consider sketching Himmel, Eisen, Heiter, Stark or Fern  next to Frieren, fellow characters from her journey.

Navigating the Drawing Guide

Each tutorial is composed of different number of images, each serves as a single step to construct Frieren’s image. Here’s how to use the color guide:

• Red Color: Indicates the current step in the drawing process.
• Black Color: Displays the lines from previous steps.
• Grey Color: Shows the basic sketch, the initial framework of your drawing.

Start with a basic sketch, then add details. As the final touch, consider inking your masterpiece. Erase the pencil lines after inking for a crisp Frieren drawing.

How to Draw Frieren’s Face – Front View

Ok, guys! Ready to draw Frieren’s face from the front? It’s easier than you think. We’ll walk through 16 simple steps to nail her look. First off, we sketch the basics and get those proportions just right. Picture her eyes and pointy ears? That’s where we begin.

Step 01 – Kick off your sketch with a simple circle for her head. Draw a straight line down the middle to keep everything even. Then, add the chin with a gentle curve coming down from the circle. You’ve just set up the canvas for her face

Step 02 – Now, draw a curved horizontal line across the circle for where the eyes will sit. Add little lines for the eyes on it. Then add two more lines for nose, and mouth along the vertical line. Then, on the sides, outline her ears, making sure they’re level with the eyes

Step 03 – It’s hair time! Draw smooth curves on each side of the head for her hair strands, framing her face

Step 04 – Refine her jawline for a more defined look, then start sketching the fringe across her forehead. Think of creating the outlines for her bangs, which set up the rest of her hairstyle

Step 05 – Let’s give Frieren some personality! Draw bold eyelids that pop, a hint of a nose, and a small curved mouth below it. Keep the anime vibes strong here

Step 06 – Inside those bold eyelids, draw the eyeballs with higlights on the right for that sparkle in her eyes. Don’t forget to flick out four lashes on top of each eye

Step 07 – Now, get the pupils in there, centered and staring back at you. Add lines for the upper eyelids and then sketch her eyebrows

Step 08 – Last but not least, it’s time for the hairline. Sketch it around the base circle and let it slightly cover the ears, showing off the volume of her hair

Step 09 – Now let’s give Frieren some elven flair with her ears. Define the ear shapes we made in the beginning. Pop in an earring on each

Step 10 – Her hair needs to look more flowy. Sketch more fringe strands. Next, add inner ear lines

Step 11 – Draw two big, flowing shapes starting from above each ear. These are the start of those iconic pigtails

Step 12 – Add lines inside those big shapes to give the pigtails some texture and life. It’s all about making them look bouncy and full

Step 13 – Draw the shape shown in the image for for her neck and the rounded collar of her outfit

Step 14 – For this step, draw the details of her clothes

Step 15 – Almost there! Add her shoulders and all the little touches that make her outfit look awesome

Step 16 – And that’s a wrap! Every step you’ve followed adds up to this detailed final drawing of Frieren. Take a moment to check over your masterpiece and make any little tweaks. Give yourself a pat on the back — you’ve mastered drawing Frieren’s face

Frieren’s Face – 3/4 View

Ready to tackle a new angle? This second guide will show you how to draw Frieren’s face in a dynamic 3/4 view. Through 17 detailed steps, we’ll go from a basic sketch to a fully proportioned drawing.

Starting with the foundational lines for proper head structure, you’ll then map out the facial features and dive into detailing the sketch.

Step 01 – Let’s get going by drawing a shape of the face frame. Cross it with a vertical and a horizontal line to help us place her features just right

Step 02 – On that simple face shape, mark where the eyes, nose, and mouth will go. Don’t forget to draw in her left ear shape and a basic shape for the neck

Step 03 – Give the jawline a bit more shape for a defined look. Get the ear’s outline done too, making sure it lines up with her face

Step 04 – Time for hair again! Start with the fringe on the left, making it sweep over her forehead. This will start to show off her signature style

Step 05 – Do the same on the right, mirroring the left side but keeping in mind the perspective and the direction her hair naturally flows

Step 06 – Now let’s get the rest of her hair in, framing her face/head nicely. Think about how it falls and moves to get it looking just right

Step 07 – Sketch the eyelids with soft bold curves, draw in the nose, and get the shape of the mouth down, keeping her expression in mind

Step 08 – Time for the eyes – add the eyeballs and a couple of lashes for each side. Remember the sparkle with those little highlight spaces

Step 09 – Place the pupils carefully, sketch the eyebrows with a light touch, and add details inside the ear

Step 10 – Let’s bring the first pigtail to life, starting at the top and letting it cascade down, curving it for a bouncy look. Make it full and dynamic

Step 11 – Now for pigtail number two. Sketch it like the first, but tucked slightly behind to create a sense of depth

Step 12 – Time for texture! Draw each strand with care, making the hair flow beautifully and naturally

Step 13 – Outline the top of her cloak, as well as her neck

Step 14 – Start on her clothing by drawing the neckline and shoulders. Use flowing lines to suggest the folds and the form beneath her clothes

Step 15 – Add depth to the cloak with folds and creases that make it look weighty and real. It should rest naturally, flowing from her shoulders

Step 16 – Finishing the outfit

Step 17 – Take a step back and make any last tweaks to your sketch. Ink it if you wish. Here it is, the complete and detailed illustration of Frieren in a 3/4 view—full of personality and style
