This guide shows you how to draw Jasper, the powerful Quartz warrior from Steven Universe. Jasper served as one of the primary antagonists in the series, known for her intimidating build and aggressive personality. Her muscular frame and wild flowing hair create a striking design that challenges artists to capture raw strength on paper.
Creating Jasper on Paper
This tutorial breaks down into 13 illustrated steps that build Jasper from basic construction to her full imposing figure. Her bulky proportions differ from most Steven Universe characters, making this an excellent exercise in drawing powerful body types.
Jasper’s Appearance Breakdown

- Orange-yellow skin with red stripe markings across face and arms

Jasper fused with Lapis Lazuli to create Malachite, one of the most dramatic moments in Steven Universe. Drawing both characters separately helps you understand how that chaotic fusion came together. Check out our Lapis Lazuli tutorial and Malachite guide for the full story. For other formidable Gems, try sketching Garnet, Amethyst, or the Diamond authority figures.
