The smirk and the cigarette are what make drawing Zdrada tricky, since the expression has to read clearly even in line art with no color to help sell it. This step-by-step tutorial on how to draw Zdrada walks through the full character from the Helltaker roster in 21 steps.
What the 21 Steps Actually Cover
This is a full-body line art tutorial with no color fill, so all 21 steps are focused on clean linework and getting the proportions right. The layered jacket and the cross necklace add detail to the torso area, which is where the tutorial slows down most. The face comes early and sets the tone for the whole drawing, so the smirk and the fang need to land before the rest of the figure can follow.
Zdrada’s Design at a Glance
- Short wavy hair with side-swept bangs
- Small horns on top of head
- Smirking face with one fang visible
- Layered jacket and cross necklace
- Bracelet on wrist, tail visible below
If you are working through the Helltaker character set, Pandemonica and Azazel follow a similar full-body line art format and are worth doing back to back. For a slightly different challenge, the dazed Azazel variant shifts the expression and pose enough to make it feel like a separate exercise.
How the Step Colors Work in This Guide
Each step in the tutorial uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new and what is already done:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
