The axe and those spiral eyes are where most people slow down when learning how to draw Yuno Gasai, the obsessive diary holder from the Future Diary anime. Getting both to read clearly without muddying the rest of the figure takes a bit of care, but the 15-step walkthrough here keeps it manageable.
Breaking Down the Yuno Gasai Drawing in 15 Steps
This is a full-body colored result, so the steps cover everything from the initial gesture sketch to the final color fills. The axe in her left hand introduces an asymmetry that affects how the arms and torso are balanced across the steps. Most of the detail work lands in the face and hair region, so expect the first half of the tutorial to move slower than the second half.
What Yuno Gasai Looks Like in This Drawing
- Long pink twin tails with red bows
- Wide pink spiral eyes, open mouth
- White jacket over black top, blue shorts
- Long dark nails on both hands
- Axe held in the left hand
If you want to practice other characters from the series, the guides for Takao Hiyama and Yukiteru Amano are solid next steps, and Reisuke Houjou adds some variety if you want a contrast in character build.
Reading the Step Colors in This Guide
Each step image uses a three-color system to make the progression easy to follow:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
