In this guide, you will learn how to draw Malachite, the unstable and powerful fusion of Jasper and Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe. Malachite represents one of the most chaotic fusions in the show, born from conflict rather than harmony. Her monstrous design with six limbs makes this a challenging but rewarding character to sketch.
Creating the Malachite Fusion on Paper
This tutorial breaks down into 17 illustrated steps that guide you through building Malachite from scratch. You will start with simple construction shapes and gradually add her wild features until the full figure emerges.
Malachite’s Appearance Details
- Teal and seafoam green skin with striped markings
- Massive wild white hair flowing in all directions
- Four bright green eyes arranged in pairs
- Wide open mouth showing sharp fangs
- Four arms spread outward in an aggressive pose
- Dark teal asymmetrical top and skirt
- Two leg-like limbs ending in hand-shaped feet
- Yellow rectangular gemstone at the navel
- Teardrop-shaped gem visible on the back
Malachite fuses two opposing Gems with completely different goals. To appreciate her design origins, consider drawing Jasper and Lapis Lazuli separately using our dedicated tutorials. Once you finish this fusion, try other combined Gem forms like Opal, Sardonyx, or Stevonnie for more practice.
Reading the Step Colors
This drawing guide uses a simple color system to track what to draw at each stage:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
