How to Draw Ochaco Uraraka's Face

That wide-eyed, open-mouthed expression of pure surprise is what this guide captures, and it comes straight from one of the most recognizable faces in the My Hero Academia series. Learning how to draw Ochaco Uraraka’s face in this close-up portrait format gives you a solid exercise in anime facial expression and proportion.

What to Expect from This Close-Up Portrait Sketch

This is a cropped portrait showing Uraraka’s face and upper shoulders only, which means all 13 steps go toward getting the facial structure, expression, and coloring right. The surprised look with the open mouth adds some asymmetry to the lower face, and the wide round eyes are where most of the character reads from, so those take the most care. The result is a fully colored drawing.

Uraraka’s Key Visual Features

Short brown bob with straight bangs
Large round amber-yellow eyes, wide open
Open mouth, surprised expression
Gray school uniform jacket, red tie
Light peach skin, simple anime linework

If you want to keep drawing MHA characters after this, Mirko as a civilian is a good next stop, and Eraser Head (Shota Aizawa) works well for practicing a more angular face structure. For something with more costume detail, the guide on Armored All Might covers a full-figure build.

Reading the Step Color System

Each step uses a three-color coding to make it easy to follow what changes between stages:

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