About the Guide
This guide will use a simple color system to help you focus on specific parts of the drawing:
- Red Color: The current part of the drawing to focus on.
- Black Color: Previous lines drawn in earlier steps.
- Grey Color: The initial sketch or outline used for guidance.
By following these color-coded instructions, you’ll be able to gradually build your drawing step by step. Take your time with each part to ensure accuracy and detail.
Start with light lines for the shape of Killua’s face and sketch a simple stick figure to get the proportions right.
Add horizontal and vertical guidelines on the face for positioning. Draw short lines on these guidelines to place the eyes, nose, and mouth. Outline the shape of his body and clothing. This will complete the rough sketch.
Outline the chin and the sides of Killua’s face for a more defined look.
Draw the fringe to frame his face and create the spiky hair.
Outline the ears, nose, mouth, and position the eyes properly within the face sketch.
Add the eyeballs, draw the eyebrows, and add more detail to the ears and eyelids to make the face more expressive.
Outline the full shape of Killua’s iconic spiky hair, adding volume around his head.
Draw the turtleneck around his neck, keeping it simple but neat.
Sketch his t-shirt with short sleeves, taking care to show the folds in the fabric.
Draw the shorts. Remember to show one arm resting in the pocket of the shorts, on the right side from our perspective.
Now, draw the other sleeve and his second arm and hand that rests by his side.
Outline his legs, making sure to include the cuffs of his boots at the bottom of his legs.
Finish drawing the outline of Killua’s boots, focusing on their shape and style.
Add details to the boots, refine his hair, and add some folds to his clothing to create more depth.
Review the entire sketch, erase the basic guidelines, and fix any areas that need refinement. If you’d like to practice inking, carefully ink over the final lines. Once the ink is dry, erase any leftover pencil lines.
Add colors to complete the drawing. Feel free to choose the original colors or experiment with new color combinations to make your Killua drawing unique.
