Helltaker built its reputation on a cast of demon girls and one stonefaced guy determined to collect them all, and the Helltaker character lineup would not be complete without a guide on how to draw The Helltaker himself, the silent protagonist at the center of it all.
Portrait Framing and What Makes This Sketch Work
This tutorial runs 17 steps and covers a portrait crop, head and upper chest only, with the arms barely visible folded at the bottom of the frame. That framing keeps the focus on facial structure and expression, which means most of the work goes into getting the jaw, brow, and glasses right. The result is clean line art with no color, so line confidence and proportion carry the whole drawing.
Key Visual Features of The Helltaker
- Dark spiky hair with sharp angular points
- Square jawline with stern furrowed brows
- Small round glasses sitting on the nose bridge
- Broad shoulders, wide muscular build
- Open collar visible at the chest
If you have been working through the rest of the cast, guides for Azazel and Lucifer are already up, along with Pandemonica for anyone who wants to keep adding to the collection.
Reading the Step Colors in This Guide
Each step uses a simple three-color system to show what is new and what came before:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
