My Hero Academia fills its roster with characters who wear their personalities on their faces, and Tenya Ida is no exception. This guide walks through how to draw Tenya Ida’s face, a close-up portrait that captures his rigid, disciplined look, as part of the broader My Hero Academia collection on the site.
What This Portrait Tutorial Focuses On
The walkthrough covers 13 steps and ends with a fully colored result, so the final step deals with applying color rather than adding new lines. The framing is a tight close-up from the upper chest up, which keeps all the complexity concentrated in the face and collar area. Getting the rectangular glasses to sit right on the face is where most of the precision work happens.
Tenya Ida’s Face: Key Visual Features
- Dark navy short spiky hair

Reading the Step Colors in This Tutorial
Each step uses a simple three-color system to show what is new, what is done, and what is structural:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
