Arms crossed, fringe falling across the forehead, neutral gaze holding steady — Akane Tsunemori carries that quiet composure even on paper, and this step-by-step tutorial on how to draw Akane Tsunemori walks through her full-body line art alongside the other Psycho Pass character guides on the site.
What the 13 Steps Actually Cover
The tutorial runs through 13 steps and lands on clean black and white line art with no color fill, so the focus stays entirely on shape and line work. The result is a full-body standing pose with her arms loosely crossed, which introduces a small amount of foreshortening at the wrists worth paying attention to. The professional outfit keeps the silhouette simple from the waist down, but the upper body has more going on with the collar and shirt detail.
Akane’s Visual Profile at a Glance
- Short hair with front fringe and small ahoge
- Large anime eyes, neutral expression
- Collared button-up shirt, partially open
- Fitted pencil skirt below the waist
- Arms crossed loosely in front
If you want more anime characters in professional or school-style outfits, the Kirito and Yuuki Asuna tutorials cover similar full-body line art builds. For portrait-focused work, Kirito’s portrait is a good follow-up exercise in facial proportion.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what changes:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
