In this guide, I’ll explain how to draw Canute from anime Vinland Saga, specifically as he appears in season 2 after becoming king. Canute, also spelled Kunūto, rules Denmark and England following his father Sweyn and his brother Harald. I’ll share the details you should include to make the Canute drawing accurate.
Details for Drawing Canute’s Season 2 Appearance
- Blonde, neatly cut bob hairstyle with straight bangs
- Calm, serious facial expression
- Red-orange tunic with yellow edges
- Grey chainmail shirt beneath the tunic
- Leather belt with metal buckle around the waist
- Ornate sword sheathed and hanging at the hip
After drawing Canute, you might enjoy sketching other characters like Thorfinn, Askeladd, or Thorkell from Vinland Saga.
