Drawing a three-quarter pose with the figure looking over her shoulder is the core skill this guide works through, and the Blond Priestess from the Goblin Slayer anime gives that pose a lot of layered clothing detail to keep things honest. The full step-by-step walkthrough on how to draw the Blond Priestess covers everything from the structural sketch to the final clean line art across 18 steps.
What the 18 Steps Actually Focus On
This tutorial runs 18 steps and ends on clean black and white line art with no color fill, so the emphasis stays entirely on line control and proportion. The over-the-shoulder turn adds rotational perspective to the figure, and the layered habit with ruffled fabric she holds close to her chest means the lower half of the drawing has quite a bit of overlapping cloth to sort out. That fabric is where most of the detail work lands.
Blond Priestess: Key Visual Features
- Long flowing hair, slight curls at ends

If you want to practice other characters from the same cast before or after this one, the Dwarf Shaman is a solid contrast in body type and proportions, and the High Elf Archer shares a similar full-body anime style that pairs well with this sketch. There is also a separate earlier take on the Blond Priestess in 14 steps if you want to compare approaches.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a simple three-color system to show what is new and what came before:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
