Building a full-body standing figure with a large draped accessory is the core skill practiced in this how to draw Eraser Head tutorial, and the relaxed pose makes it a solid exercise in proportion without the distraction of action lines. Aizawa Shouta, known to fans of the My Hero Academia series as Eraser Head, carries most of his visual weight in that oversized capture scarf, so learning to draw its volume around the body is the real challenge here.
What to Expect From These 14 Steps
The tutorial runs through 14 steps and ends on a fully colored result, so the final stage covers both line cleanup and color application. The standing pose with hands in pockets keeps the limb work fairly symmetrical, but the layered scarf draped around his neck and shoulders requires careful attention to how fabric folds and stacks. Most of the detail work concentrates in the upper body, where the scarf overlaps the shirt and belt area.
Eraser Head’s Costume at a Glance
- Long messy black hair, tired expression
- Large layered grey capture scarf around neck
- All-black long-sleeve shirt and baggy pants
- Wide black belt with grey rectangular buckles
- Black knee-high boots, hands in pockets
If you want more MHA characters to practice alongside this one, Katsuki Bakugo in action pose offers a good contrast in energy and posture, while Shoto’s face close-up focuses purely on facial expression and structure. For something more elaborate in costume design, the Dragoon Hero Ryukyu in dragon form walkthrough takes things in a completely different direction.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to keep things clear as the drawing builds:
