Black chains hanging from both wrists and a pink armored suit with wing-like shoulder plates make Andromeda Shun one of the more visually complex figures in the Saint Seiya roster, and this step-by-step guide on how to draw Andromeda Shun works through all of it. The 19 steps cover the full figure from horned helmet to armored boots, including the chain with its spherical weight end.
What Makes This Figure a Solid Drawing Challenge
The tutorial runs 19 steps and ends on a fully colored result, so both line structure and color application get covered. The armor has a lot of overlapping pieces, and the chains require attention to how they hang and curve from the wrists. Most of the detail work concentrates in the upper body, where the shoulder plates, helmet horns, and white visor all compete for space.
Andromeda Shun’s Key Visual Features
- Long dark green hair, serious expression
- Pink armor with wing-like shoulder plates
- Horned helmet with a white visor
- Black chains hanging from both wrists
- Right chain ends in a spherical weighted ball
If you want to keep building out the Saint Seiya roster after this, the guides for Pegasus Seiya in God Cloth and Seiya both deal with similarly detailed armor builds. For something a bit different in tone, Saori Kido (Athena) is worth checking out next.
