How to draw Geralt of Rivia from Netflix series

A three-quarter upper body pose with a greatsword across the back is what this tutorial captures, and the guide covers how to draw Geralt of Rivia as he appears in The Witcher Netflix series, with the studded leather armor and silver hair rendered in full color. The 17-step walkthrough builds from basic structure to a finished, colored result.

The Netflix Armor Build and What to Expect from These Steps

This tutorial runs 17 steps and ends on a colored drawing, so the progression includes both line work and the color pass at the end. The pose is a three-quarter view facing right, which means one side of the figure is slightly foreshortened. Most of the detail work lands in the armor, where the rivet dot pattern across the chest takes patience to get evenly spaced. The face carries a specific likeness based on the Netflix portrayal, so the proportions of the sharp features need careful attention during the early sketch stages.

Key Visual Features of This Version of Geralt

• Long silver-white hair, side profile sweep
• Sharp jaw, single amber eye visible
• Black studded leather armor, rivet pattern
• Large sword strapped across the back
• Three-quarter upper body, looking right

If you want to draw more characters from the same show, the guide for Yennefer of Vengerberg covers the other lead from the series. For practice with other live-action and comic adaptation characters, there are also tutorials for Hal Jordan as Green Lantern and the 2017 TV show Spider-Man worth checking out.
