Sword in hand and shield raised, this compact armored warrior stands ready for another goblin hunt, and this step-by-step guide walks through how to draw Goblin Slayer in his full gear across 18 steps, covering everything from the helmet plume down to the shield studs, as part of the Goblin Slayer tutorial collection on the site.
Armor, Proportions, and What Makes This Version Work
The tutorial uses chibi-ish proportions, with a slightly oversized head sitting on a compact body, which changes how the armor reads compared to the full-scale anime design. All 18 steps build toward a fully colored result, so the line work and the color fills are both covered. The shield and helmet get a fair amount of detail work, and that is where the pacing slows down relative to the rest of the sketch.
Key Visual Features of This Design
- Full plate armor, dark grey and silver tones
- Closed helmet with red feathered plume
- White fur collar around the neck
- Sword in left hand, round shield in right
- Shield has cross pattern with yellow circular studs
If you want to draw more characters from the same anime, the High Elf Archer and the Blond Priestess both have tutorials on the site, and Cow Girl is there too if you want to round out the party.
Reading the Color Coding in the Step Images
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new and what is already done:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
