Let’s take on something a bit different today. I’m going to walk through how to draw Ojiro from MHA in his hero costume. You might also know him as Mashirao Ojiro or by his hero name Tailman. This one’s a bit more complex than simple headshots since we’re working on a full-body drawing, but nothing too advanced. I’ll point out the key areas to watch for as we go.
Key Appearance Notes for Drawing Ojiro
- Short blond hair brushed forward
- Thin eyes
- Fur-lined collar only on the left shoulder
- Karate gi style hero costume with a belt and accessories
- Muscular build with clenched fists
- Large, thick tail with fur tip extending behind him
- Short boots with simple designs and cuffs
- Gloves with visible finger separations
Once you finish this one, you might also want to draw some of the other heroes like Nejire Hado, Pixie-Bob, Ryuko Tatsuma, or even All Might’s True Form for a nice MHA lineup.
Visual Breakdown of the Drawing Process
The guide uses a simple color-coded approach to help you follow each phase of the sketching:
- Grey Color: Basic initial sketch shapes
- Black Color: Completed lines from earlier steps
- Red Color: Current step being worked on
As always, the process starts with building basic proportions before locking in details.
Now that you’ve got the basics of how to draw Ojiro down, feel free to experiment with his tail position or try sketching him mid-fight for a more dynamic pose. If you prefer following along visually, the SketchOk YouTube channel regularly posts new drawing videos as they’re produced, so it’s worth checking in there too. You can also sign up for the weekly email digest using the form at the top of the page, or find the pinned Ojiro post on Pinterest to share what you came up with.
