Izuku Midoriya gets a fresh breakdown in his updated hero gear from My Hero Academia. This walkthrough covers how to draw Izuku in his Costume Zeta, taking Deku from rough shapes to a finished figure.
Tackling Deku’s Costume Zeta Look
The breakdown spans 24 stages and lands on a colored frame you can match while shading. Early marks stay loose so the proportions and balance settle in before the gauntlets, scarf, and boots get layered on.
Pieces That Make the Costume Pop
- Spiky dark green hair
- Tattered tan scarf and hood
- Green bodysuit with orange trim
- Oversized white support gauntlets
- Red utility pouches at the waist
- Heavy black armored boots
If you’re collecting the newer hero designs, this pairs well with Deku in his Rising state or the classy Camie Utsushimi. The veteran Nana Shimura is another good one to round out the set.
Reading the Line Colors
Three colors run through each frame so the latest additions never get lost:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
How to Draw Izuku: Step-by-Step
Post Your Deku in the Comments
Once you hit that final colored stage, drop your version below so I can see how those big gauntlets turned out. There’s an upload tool being built that lets you pin your drawing right under the post, and it may already be live by the time you reach this part. Now that how to draw Izuku in his Costume Zeta is done, the precise Lady Nagant or the floating Ochaco in her new costume make solid next picks. Fresh lessons go up on Facebook and Telegram the second they publish, a new video lands on YouTube daily from these guides, and Pinterest stays refreshed too, so if you want to support the work, my Patreon has hand drawn coloring pages waiting for you.
