If you’re looking for how to draw Artoria Pendragon from Fate, also known as Saber, Altria, or Arturia, this guide is built for that exact version with the armored dress and sword stance. This character appears across several entries of the Fate franchise, including Fate/Zero, Fate/stay night, and Fate/Grand Order. The outfit shown here is one of her more classic armored looks.
Main Appearance Details of Artoria to Focus On
- Short, slightly spiked hair with a side bang and ribbon tied in the back
- Plated forearm guards
- Layered skirt armor with fabric and metal parts
- Detailed long sword held in one hand with the other arm extended
- Battle-ready stance with a slight lean and balance across both legs
You can also try drawing other characters from the series once you finish sketching Saber. I’d suggest you the guides for Mordred, Gilgamesh, Jeanne d’Arc and Quetzalcoatl.
