A cracked visor with a glowing red eye staring through the dark is what this tutorial captures, and it pulls from one of the most recognizable pieces of equipment in the Goblin Slayer anime. Learning how to draw the mask of Goblin Slayer means focusing entirely on the helmet as a standalone subject, no body, no background, just the cold angular iron that defines the character.
A Helmet That Carries More Weight Than Most Full-Body Drawings
This guide covers 14 steps and ends on a fully colored result, with the dark reds and grays of the helmet rendered in the final stage. The tutorial is a portrait-style drawing of just the helmet and plume, so all the work goes into getting the angular metalwork and the asymmetrical crack right. The crack itself is the trickiest part since it needs to read naturally while also framing that glowing eye below the visor.
What the Helmet Looks Like
- Gray angular full-face knight helmet
- Dark visor with vertical slit openings
- Red glowing eye visible through crack
- Flowing dark red plume atop helmet
- Jagged lower neck guard with spikes
If you want more of the character beyond just the mask, Goblin Slayer in Battle Stance covers the full armored figure, and the head of Goblin Slayer offers a different angle on the same helmet as part of a head study. The rest of the party is also covered, with guides for the Blond Priestess available for those working through the full cast.
Understanding the Color Coding in Step Images
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what changes at each stage:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
