Soul Eater built its cast around weapon-meister partnerships, and Liz Thompson sits right at the center of that dynamic as one half of the Thompson sisters alongside her partner Death the Kid. This step-by-step guide walks through how to draw Liz Thompson, with her signature hat and casual outfit laid out across 36 clear steps in the Soul Eater tutorial collection.
What the 36 Steps Actually Cover
This is a full-body standing pose with no background, so all 36 steps go toward the character herself. The hat takes the most setup early on because of the wide brim and pointed cowboy-witch hybrid silhouette with its decorative trim. The result is clean line art rather than a colored version, which keeps the focus on getting the proportions and clothing details right. The flared jeans and platform boots add some perspective work near the bottom half of the figure.
Liz Thompson’s Key Visual Features
- Long straight hair framing the face
- Wide-brimmed pointed hybrid hat, trimmed brim
- Crop top with small necktie detail
- Low-rise flared jeans with a belt
- Platform heeled boots, upright stance
If you are working through the Soul Eater cast, Franken Stein and Soul Evans are both covered on the site, and Medusa Gorgon makes a solid next challenge if you want to practice more complex costume detail.
Reading the Color Coding in the Steps
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is happening at that stage:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.

Share Your Finished Liz Thompson Sketch
Once you have worked through all 36 steps, drop your finished drawing in the comments. It is always good to see how different people handle the hat shape and the jeans flare. New tutorials go up on Facebook and Telegram as soon as they are posted, a new YouTube video based on existing guides goes live every single day, and Pinterest gets updated regularly too. For more Soul Eater practice, Maka with Soul Evans as a Death Scythe is a more complex multi-figure composition, and Maka Albarn on her own is a good comparison piece.
