A relaxed hand-behind-head pose with a sharp-toothed grin is what this guide captures for Malina, one of the demon characters in the Helltaker roster. If you want to learn how to draw Malina with her casual confidence locked in, this step-by-step walkthrough covers the full construction from rough sketch to clean line art.
What the 21-Step Walkthrough Covers
The tutorial runs through 21 steps and delivers finished black and white line art with no color fill, so the focus stays on line confidence and proportion. Malina’s slightly asymmetric pose, with one arm raised and a tail curving at the lower body, adds a bit of challenge to getting the weight and balance right. The expressive face, with wide eyes and a toothy grin, is where most of the detail work lands.
Malina’s Design at a Glance
- Wavy medium hair with small horns
- Wide eyes, sharp-toothed open grin
- Buttoned jacket and necktie
- One hand raised behind head
- Tail visible at lower body

How the Step Colors Work
Each step image uses a three-color system to show what is happening at each stage:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
