Here’s a guide on how to draw Gurren Lagann base form, the original combination of Gurren and Lagann from the anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It includes solid stance, symmetrical build, and sharp mecha features. If you’re looking to sketch something mechanical but structured, this one’s a good example to work with.
Design Focus: Gurren Lagann’s Base Form
- Large, armored limbs with layered plating details
- V-shaped chest crest that defines the upper torso
- Simplified but bold mechanical shapes — no excessive textures
- Helmet with prominent crest and faceplate design
- Even proportions from top to bottom with no exaggerated pose
After this one, you can check out how to draw characters like Kamina, Simon, or even the later Tengen Toppa version if you’re up for more detail-heavy mechas. I’ll add them once they are ready.
Color Code Reference for This Guide
