A close-up portrait angle focused on the face and upper chest puts Benedict Blue front and center, and this guide on how to draw Benedict Blue’s face walks through that composition as part of the broader Violet Evergarden tutorial collection. The result is clean line art with no color, so every step goes toward getting the facial structure and expression right.
What the 16-Step Portrait Covers
The tutorial runs through 16 steps from the initial construction sketch to the finished line art. Because this is a portrait crop rather than a full-body drawing, the steps concentrate heavily on facial proportions, the hair silhouette, and the expression. The front-facing angle keeps perspective relatively straightforward, but the hair and eye detail are where the most careful linework is needed.
Benedict Blue’s Key Visual Features
- Messy spiky hair with loose strands
- Large expressive anime-style eyes
- Neutral to slightly sullen expression
- Collared shirt under jacket or coat
- Upper body, front-facing portrait crop
If you want more context for the character before tackling the face, the full-body Benedict Blue walkthrough covers his complete figure, while Erica Brown and Lux Sibyl are solid next picks if you are working through the CH Postal Company cast.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new versus what came before:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.

Finished the Sketch? Share It
Once the line art is done, drop your finished drawing in the comments below. Seeing how different people handle the hair and expression is always interesting, and it helps other readers gauge where to focus their practice. New tutorials go up on Facebook and Telegram right when they are published, a new YouTube video based on existing guides goes live every single day, and Pinterest stays updated regularly if that is where you save references. If you want to go deeper into the series, Cattleya Baudelaire’s face follows a similar portrait format, and Claudia Hodgins is worth adding to the queue after that. Supporting the project on Patreon keeps new tutorials coming and gives you access to unique hand-drawn coloring pages.
