Nico Robin is the only crew member in One Piece who started out as an antagonist before becoming one of the Straw Hats’ most trusted allies. This tutorial on how to draw Nico Robin’s face focuses on her post-timeskip design, which she has kept through most of the New World arcs.
The Crew’s Archaeologist Up Close
The drawing is broken into 17 steps, with the final one being the colored result. It covers Robin’s face and upper body, including enough of her outfit to capture the post-timeskip look properly.
Robin’s Post-Timeskip Design Notes
- Long straight black hair past her shoulders
- Orange-tinted sunglasses resting on her head
- Blue-green eyes with thin eyebrows
- Dark blue leather jacket, open collar
- Purple top visible underneath the jacket
Robin went through one of the biggest visual changes after the two-year gap, and her face became noticeably more mature. If you are looking to draw more Straw Hat faces, there are already tutorials for Sanji’s face, Nami, and Chopper’s post-timeskip face on the site.
How the Color Coding Works
Each step uses three colors so you can track your progress:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
