Roxas stands in a wide stance with his Keyblade raised horizontally, and that action-ready pose is exactly what this guide on how to draw Roxas sets out to capture, pulling from the Kingdom Hearts roster of tutorials on the site. The 14 steps build from a rough structural sketch all the way to clean finished line art.
What the 14 Steps Actually Cover
This is a full-body standing pose with the Keyblade held out horizontally, which means the proportions have to stay consistent across a fairly wide frame. The tutorial runs 14 steps in total and ends on line art rather than a colored version, so all the focus goes toward getting the shapes, coat silhouette, and weapon angle right before you worry about anything else. The slight rightward turn of the figure adds a small perspective challenge that the early steps help you set up correctly.
Roxas: Key Visual Traits to Keep in Mind
- Spiky hair with jagged upward points
- Long flowing coat with wide shoulders
- Large Keyblade held horizontally
- Chain hanging from the Keyblade handle
- Wide stance, figure turned slightly right
If you want more Kingdom Hearts practice after this, Kairi and Sora are good follow-ups since they share similar coat and hair structures. Ventus is also worth trying next, as his design is closely related to Roxas and reinforces a lot of the same line work.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step uses a three-color system to make it clear 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.
