This tutorial is focused on how to draw Jinbe from the One Piece anime. The version is based on his Wano Country appearance, with his wide stance, kimono, and cape. This is a mid complexity sketch because of the cape folds and patterned clothing.
Key Features to Focus on When Drawing Jinbe
- Bulky body and tall proportions
- Fish-man features like tusk-like fangs
- Wave-patterned cape and diamond-patterned kimono
- Topknot hairstyle with side braids and facial hair
- Large flat nose and spiral eyebrows
- Raised arm with open palm gesture
After this one, you might want to draw other One Piece characters like Luffy in Gear 5th, Yamato, or Kawamatsu for more variation in body types.
Color Guidelines for the Jinbe Drawing Steps
- Red Color: current step
