It's bully to have you lot back for another awesome drawing tutorial! Today we're going to learn how to depict Goku in Super Saiyan form from the Dragonball Z series requested by user tarun! Be sure to post your finished drawings in your user gallery to show other users and get feedback! Every bit everyone probably already knows, Goku is the main graphic symbol throughout the whole Dragonball series, learning, developing his skills and defending Earth. No 1 believed that Goku could ever achieve the mythic Super Saiyan class, but he proved them all incorrect when he evolved. And that'due south what we're going to draw today. This is my start Dragonball Z tutorial and it was a lot of fun to draw. But it definitely isn't one of easiest tutorials, so I'd recommend this one for intermediate mangakas. The last step includes some tricky shading so you might want to have two shades of grey marker for the shading pace or, if you don't accept any markers, you can use your pencil to go different shades of greyness. You can click on any of the images to see an enlarged view and click through the steps without text. Get your materials prepare and permit's larn how to depict Goku Super Saiyan!
Pace 1
Simply a reminder to all of our mangakas that all of the blue and green lines you encounter in this tutorial are just construction lines and will exist erased later on, so don't printing as well hard on your pencil when drawing these lines. Our final lines you'll meet in black at the end of the tutorial. We're going to begin with our head circle, center and middle lines which you can see in blue. Nosotros'll also add the lines that you lot can come across in light-green and the light-green dashes on the center line. These lines volition help us to describe Goku's features in later steps. In pace 01a I'll requite all the lines names and then you lot know what line I'm referring to in future steps. So, permit's begin by drawing our caput circle in the middle of our paper. We want to leave plenty infinite above the caput for Goku's hair and enough room below for the extended center line. Pro Tip one: When drawing your head circle become around a few times very lightly with your pencil to become a nice outline of a circumvolve, equally it can exist quite difficult to draw a circle freehand. Then trace your head circle over the outline y'all accept fabricated. Once you've got your head circle, we'll depict our center and eye lines (blueish lines in the image). The center line is vertical and cuts the head circle in two. It extends a little higher up the head but quite far below. The eye line is a flat horizontal. We'll also draw the ii horizontal dark-green lines, one inside the head circumvolve above the center line, one slightly beneath the head circle and then the three small dashes on the centerline. Pro Tip two: Measurements: Hither I'll give you some proportions to use when drawing your set. The eye line is about 1/10 of the way up from the bottom of the head circle. The upper green line is slightly more than that half manner up from the bottom of the head circumvolve. The distance between where the center line and the middle line intersect and the lower green line is near one/6 of a head circle. And each nuance on the center line below that is also about 1/six of a head circle from each other.
Pace 1a
Here I'd like to give each of the lines and the dashes a proper noun so that when I refer to them in future steps, you'll know what I'thousand talking most. They are as follows: Line 1 = center line Line 2 = centre line Line three = blindside line (for the hair) Line 4 = oral cavity line Line v = chin dash Line six = chest dash Line seven = shirt dash
Stride 2
I've done my best to characterization all of the lines or areas with numbers in the order they should exist drawn. Hither, we'll begin with the eye on the left (#1) by drawing the triangle shape on the eye line with the point outward. Nosotros'll do the same thing for the centre on the correct (#2). So, we'll draw the jaw. Each side of the jaw tin exist fabricated by drawing two lines downward to the chin dash. Line iii goes from where the eye line meets the head circle down to the end of the rima oris line, then line #4 continues downward at more than of an bending to the chin nuance. We'll do the same thing for the jaw line on the right and lines #v and #6. Lastly, on the mouth line we'll depict the mouth that looks like an upside down checkmark and simply above information technology add a small horizontal dash for the olfactory organ on the center line.
Step iii
Standing with Goku'southward facial features here, nosotros'll begin with the ear on the left (line #1) which looks a little like a backwards question marking. Then, jump over to the other side and we'll draw the ear on the right (line #ii). Then, in area #3, we'll end the bottom of the center on the left and add together the small half circumvolve in the tiptop of the eye for his pupil. You lot can exercise the aforementioned thing for the center on the correct (expanse #iv). Lastly, in surface area #5, we need to draw the rest of Goku's nose and below the mouth we'll add the small-scale wrinkle line that resembles the oral cavity, merely shorter. Bully piece of work!
Step four
Here we're going to use the bang line and describe the curving line from where the blindside line meets the middle line down to just overlap the left side of the eye on the left (line #1). Next, we have to draw the irregular kind of "M" shaped line #ii. Information technology'due south probably easiest to start on the bang line and draw the arched line down to the top of the centre on the left, and then move back upward to the bang line and draw the second arch going to the correct and but overlapping the centre on the right. Next, in area #3 nosotros'll begin past drawing the squarish "U" shape between the optics and and then we'll add the eyebrows on both side. Notice that we don't see much of the eyebrow on the left, merely that's considering information technology's hidden by pilus we haven't drawn withal! We always need to think ahead ^_-. Areas #four and #7 are the same, we want a longer curving line coming off of the cervix and a smaller shorter curving line coming off of the bottom of the neck. Lastly, nosotros simply demand to add lines #5 and #half dozen coming off of the jaw and finishing on the chest dash. Notice that line #6 starts slightly lower on the jaw than line #five.
Footstep 5
Let'southward continue with Goku's pilus and we'll draw the top of his shirt too. Begin with lines #1, #2 and #3 which are curving lines that end at the tips of the pilus lines nosotros drew in the previous step forming points. Then, on the ear on the left, there's a triangular hair segment to add and a smaller ane just below the ear (surface area #4). Over in area #five nosotros just need to add the small triangular hair segment. Line #6 constitutes the top of the shirt and we want to start on the left, curve effectually and down to flatten out and laissez passer through shirt dash, so support and around to finish on the right. Lastly, we'll add together the small curving lines #7 on the left and #8 on the right. And that wraps up step 05.
Step 6
More hair to add here, mangakas. Simply follow the numbers and draw the hair segments 1-half dozen. In surface area #vii we demand to add a directly diagonal line just over both eyes. And, lastly, we'll describe line #8, which is a hump that flattens out to pass through the chest dash so another hump on the right. Merely above line #viii is a minor diagonal line to add to the neck simply below the chin.
Step 7
In this step we'll end upwards the hair and body features. For right now, skip the optics and ears in this step. I'll zoom in on the expanse in the next pace so y'all tin can see it quite clearly. We'll begin by cartoon the three pilus segments in area #one, followed by the unmarried hair segment on the left for #2. In area #3 there are iii more hair segments to draw that become gradually smaller as you move down to the ear. Over again, skip the eyes and ears and move downwards to the left side of the neck and chest where nosotros have three lines to add together in area #4 and very similar lines to add on the correct in area #5.
Step 7a
Hither I've just zoomed in on the eye and ear area and then that y'all tin clearly see the lines that you lot need to depict here inside both ears and just above the upper outer corner of both eyes.
Footstep 8
Now, we just need to add together some lines to each hair segment to suggest layers to the hair. The lines are too numerous to identify individually so do your best to imitate the paradigm you run into.
Footstep 9
That does it for our construction lines mangakas! Have out your eraser and lighten all of the lines you've made so far. Then, using your blackness pen, trace your final lines. In that location's no need to worry most line quality for Goku as all of the lines are of equal thickness, then a nice articulate trace is all nosotros demand. Filling: Once y'all've got your final lines all done, we'll get back and make full in in black just two spots: ane is the shadow expanse but beneath the oral fissure and the other is the minor area of blackness that you can run across on both shoulders. That'southward all!
Stride 10
Just give your ink a minute to dry and then use your eraser to completely erase any remaining construction lines that y'all can see.

As you tin can see this step can be quite difficult. But it'southward actually not. You but demand to use your pencil to mark out the areas to shade in light grey and those areas you want to shade in nighttime grey. Then, subsequently you lot have marked them, just go back and colour them in using either your markers or your pencil. A general thought to help you is that we desire the calorie-free to appear every bit if information technology's coming from the correct so the right half of most things volition exist left white and unshaded. The centre of the face up and hair segments will be in low-cal grey and merely the left side of the segments and those things at the bottom will be in darkest grey. One time you're satisfied with your shading, give everything a minute to dry out. Step dorsum and take a look. You've merely drawn the defender of the Earth Goku Super Saiyan from Dragonball Z! Feel free to post your drawing in your user gallery to share with other users. If your goal is to become a great mangaka make sure to draw Goku once again from retentiveness. Then compare the final cartoon with the original and correct any mistakes yous might have made. Try once again from memory. This is the best fashion to build a huge library of shapes that you can use in the future for your own manga characters. Describe with passion! (-_^) Hiroshi
