How to draw Izuku Midoriya in a student uniform

Spiky green-black hair and round glasses over wide eyes make Midoriya’s school look immediately readable, and this tutorial covers how to draw Izuku Midoriya in a student uniform, the U.A. High School outfit that shows up throughout the My Hero Academia series. The blazer, tie, and boots give the design more small details to nail than the hero costume does, which makes this a worthwhile sketch session.

The U.A. Uniform Build Across 15 Steps

The tutorial runs 15 steps and ends on a fully colored result, so the final image gives a clear target for colors once the linework is done. Most of the structural work happens early with the head and torso, and the detail pass on the blazer buttons, tie, and boots comes in the middle and later steps. The pose is a straightforward standing position, which keeps the focus on getting the uniform proportions right rather than working through foreshortening.

Key Visual Traits to Keep in Mind

• Wild spiky green and black hair
• Round eyes with small oval glasses
• Gray school blazer with gold buttons
• Red tie and dark teal pants
• Red high-top lace-up boots

If you want to keep building out your MHA roster after this one, Tenya Ida’s face is a solid next step since Class 1-A classmates pair well together on a page. For more Deku specifically, the guide on Deku in his Rising State and the one covering Ochaco in her new hero costume both use a full-body format similar to this walkthrough.

Reading the Step Colors

Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new and what is already set:

• Red Color: lines added in the current step.
• Black Color: lines completed earlier.
• Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
