Getting to Know Oberon
Oberon, the main antagonist of the Fairy Dance Arc, is a character from the virtual world of ALfheim Online. With his green eyes, shoulder-length blonde hair, and wings, he cuts an impressive figure. Adorned with a crown and wearing a long dark green robe and a green cloak, Obeiron stands out from the other characters in the game.
Originally chosen to marry Asuna and adopted into her family, Obeiron had ulterior motives. He hacked into the SAO server, rerouting the minds of three hundred players to ALfheim Online for his experiments. His true personality, amoral and greedy, reveals itself to those who stand in his way. Despite his god-like status in the game, Obeiron is a poor fighter and lacks pain tolerance.

Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Follow these steps to create your Obeiron drawing. The images provided in this tutorial will guide you through the process.
Part 1: Basic Sketch
The first step is to create a basic structure for your drawing. Use light pencil strokes to outline the proportions and overall pose of Obeiron. Focus on capturing the main shapes and positioning of the character.
Part 2: Refining the Sketch
In the second step, refine your basic sketch by adding more details to Obeiron’s features and clothing. Pay close attention to the facial expressions, hair, wings, and attire. Use the previously drawn lines as a base to guide your refinements.
Part 3: Inking
