You know how sometimes you just get the urge to sketch a Minecraft character in action? Well, that’s how I ended up making this guide on how to draw Alex with a sword. It is simple enough even if you’re just starting out with Minecraft drawing.
The Alex Battle Checklist
To get Alex looking authentic, let’s quickly check off her main details:
- Blocky Minecraft-style design.
- Red-orange short hair.
- Green eyes and a neutral expression.
- Greenish short-sleeved shirt and brownish pants.
- Equipped with a classic pixel-style Minecraft sword.
- Action-oriented pose suggesting motion and readiness.
If you enjoy drawing Alex, consider adding Steve with a pickaxe, a Zombie, or even the Ender Dragon next to your Minecraft drawing lineup.
Navigating the Drawing Steps Clearly
Here’s how the color guidelines in the drawing steps work, making your sketching process hassle-free:
- Red Color: Highlights the current drawing step.
- Black Color: Lines you’ve already drawn.

























If your version of Alex with a Sword looks a little different from the final image, that’s completely fine, honestly expected, especially with a blocky Minecraft character where proportions can feel tricky at first. The whole point is that you practiced, and each attempt gets you a bit more comfortable with the shapes. You can share your work-in-progress sketches in the comments on the pinned Pinterest post for this how to draw Alex with a Sword guide, it’s a good spot to see what others are working on too.
