Today I’m breaking down how to draw Ryuko Tatsuma in her Hero Costume from My Hero Academia. Also known as the Dragoon Hero: Ryukyu, she was once the No. 9 Pro Hero and later ranked No. 10. Her dragon-themed look is tied closely to her Quirk. Her costume is based on a traditional qipao style, mixed with several dragon-like elements, making it a unique character to draw. This design isn’t too complicated but includes a few specific details to pay attention to.
Important Details to Watch for When Drawing Ryuko Tatsuma
- Chin-length swept-back blonde hair with a headband and four large claws covering her right eye.
- Small dragon wings attached to the back of her head.
- Dark red qipao with pale green trim and yellow claw-like patterns at the bottom.
- White glove-like sleeves that leave her hands exposed at the wrist and knee-high boots.
Once you finish Ryuko Tatsuma, you could also try drawing other My Hero Academia characters like Pixie-Bob, Katsuki Bakugo or Red Riot to practice different character designs and hero costumes.
