Tony Tony Chopper from One Piece has some of the most expressive reactions in the entire crew, and his excited face is pure joy to look at. This step by step tutorial covers how to draw Chopper’s excited face in his pre-timeskip design, zoomed in close on all that energy.
Capturing Chopper’s Excitement on Paper
The tutorial walks through 17 steps total, ending with the colored result at the very end. Since this is a face-only drawing, most of the work goes into nailing the expression and getting the hat proportions right relative to the head.
Design Details to Keep in Mind
- Pink top hat with white X mark
- Brown antlers sticking out through the brim
- Wide open mouth showing teeth and tongue
- Big round eyes
- Blue nose
- Fuzzy fur around the neck area
There is already a tutorial for Chopper’s post-timeskip face on the site, so you can compare how Oda changed the design over time. For a full-body version, check out Chopper’s compliment dance, which uses the same pre-timeskip look. And if you want to branch out to other crew members, Sogeking is a fun one from the same era.
Line Color Guide for Each Step
Here is how the colors work throughout the drawing process:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
