How to draw fighting Saitama in 12 steps

Both fists raised and ready, this version of Saitama skips the caped hero uniform entirely, and this step-by-step guide covers exactly that fighting stance as part of the One-Punch Man tutorial collection on the site. The focus keyphrase here is how to draw fighting Saitama in 12 steps, and the guide keeps things tight at exactly that count.

What Makes This Particular Pose Worth Practicing

The tutorial runs 12 steps total and ends on clean line art with no coloring phase, so every step goes toward getting the structure and linework right. Saitama appears here without his standard hero jumpsuit, wearing an open jacket instead with his torso exposed, which changes the proportions and detail work compared to his usual look. The raised fists and forward-leaning stance introduce some asymmetry that takes a few passes to get balanced.

Saitama’s Look in This Drawing

  • Bald head with stern, set expression
  • Muscular bare torso, visible abs
  • Open collar jacket with oval chest emblem
  • Belt with oval buckle at waist
  • Both fists raised in fighting stance

If you want to keep building out your One-Punch Man roster, Garou in motion is a solid next challenge since he also uses an action pose with a lot of similar body mechanics. Metal Bat is another good pick if you want to practice character-specific clothing detail and stance work. For something with a completely different body type and energy, Tatsumaki offers a contrast worth trying.

Understanding the Color Coding in the Steps

Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new and what is already done:

  • Red Color: lines added in the current step.
  • Black Color: lines completed earlier.
  • Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
