This tutorial explains how to draw Sapphire, the calm and future-seeing Gem from Steven Universe. Sapphire forms one half of the fusion Garnet together with Ruby, and her serene design contrasts beautifully with her partner’s fiery appearance. Her flowing hair and elegant dress create a visually appealing character that artists of all levels can enjoy sketching.
