This guide explains how to draw Fafnir from Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid in 20 simple steps. The character’s human form has clean shapes and long flowing hair, so the overall difficulty sits at a medium level.
Understanding Fafnir’s Look
Fafnir, also known as Takeshi Ooyama, keeps a very structured human design. The details here help keep his proportions consistent when sketching:
- Hair: Long straight black hair.
- Bangs: Heavy bangs covering the right eye.
- Eyes: Red eyes that change shape and intensity when angry.
- Expression: Calm, neutral, slightly gloomy.
- Face Accessories: Small glasses resting on the bridge of the nose.
- Outfit: Butler suit with a tailcoat.
- Tie: Coach-style cravat tied in a loose layered bow.
- Vest: Dark vest under the coat.
- Pants and Shoes: Straight formal trousers and simple black dress shoes.
After working on this one, characters like Tohru, Elma, or Kobayashi to make a nice continuation if you want a small Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid drawing set.
