Ryomen Sukuna is the King of Curses and the central villain of Jujutsu Kaisen, and his face alone carries more visual intensity than most full-body character designs in the series. This step by step tutorial on how to draw Sukuna’s face in JJK anime style focuses on capturing that iconic grin, the spiked pink hair, deep-set red eyes, and the layered black tattoo markings that spread across his forehead, cheeks, and chin.
Sukuna’s Face Broken Down in 14 Steps
The tutorial covers 14 steps in total, with the final one being the fully colored result. The process works through the face structure, hair spikes, eye placement, and tattoo details in a sequence that keeps the more complex marking patterns manageable at every stage.
Sukuna’s Signature Face Features
- Spiky pink hair with dark roots at the temples
- Heavy-set brows with sharp angular lines
- Deep red irises with a menacing gaze
- Tribal forehead marking with a raised center motif
- Branching black tattoos across cheeks and chin
- Wide grin showing teeth
Sukuna’s face is one of the most requested drawings in the JJK lineup, and there are a few other versions already on the site worth comparing. The earlier Sukuna face tutorial uses a different angle, while chibi Sukuna takes the same character in a completely different direction. For contrast within the same series, Gojo’s face without his blindfold is the natural rival pairing.
What the Colors in Each Step Mean
The tutorial uses a three-color marking system across all 14 step images to keep new additions clearly separated from earlier work:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
