This drawing guide focuses on how to draw Sussy, the magpie from KPop Demon Hunters. The bird’s design is pretty recognizable thanks to the triple eyes on each side of the head, a long beak, and a wide-brimmed hat. The magpie’s form is loosely based on Korean minhwa folk art, especially the satirical Hojak-do tradition where tigers and birds often appear together. The shapes in the body are stylized but not overly complex, which makes it easy to block out the base sketch before getting into details.
What to Focus on When Drawing Sussy
- Three stacked eyes on the side of the head
- Sharp beak that curves slightly downward
- Flat wide hat sitting above the top eye
- Rounded body, wings with simple feather texture
- Decorative circles on the wings and body
- Simple legs and claws
- Long tail feathers extending behind the body
If you’re already working on Derpy the tiger, this guide makes a good next step. The two appear together throughout the show and are both part of Rumi and Jinu’s scenes.
