This guide is focused on how to draw Edward Newgate from One Piece, also known as Whitebeard. The version here shows him in an airborne battle stance with his bisento raised. The composition is dynamic, with plenty of detail, so I’d say the complexity is higher than average. This look is based on his appearance during the Marineford War arc.
Notable Features to Focus on While Drawing
- Large muscular build with proportioned anatomy for his size
- Crescent-shaped white mustache
- Pirate hat with curved tips and Jolly Roger emblem
- Flared white captain’s coat with shoulder details and open chest
- Long flowing hair
- Light baggy pants tucked into tall black boots
- Massive bisento with engraved blade and thick handle
If you’re planning to draw other characters after this one, consider sketching Yamato, Jinbe, or Luffy’s 5th Gear. There’s also a guide for the Thousand Sunny, just in case you missed it.
Understanding the Color Codes in the Drawing Steps
- Red Color: the part of the drawing that’s currently being added
- Black Color: completed lines from earlier steps
- Grey Color: the initial base sketch that outlines the pose and structure
