Step 1: Draw a Square
The first step to drawing a Samurai is to draw a square. This will be the outline of your Samurai's body. Start with a pencil and draw lightly, as the lines you draw are just guidelines. Once you have the outline of the body, go ahead and draw a slightly smaller square inside the first one. This smaller square will be the face of the Samurai.
Step 2: Draw the Ears and Eyes
Once you have the outline of the Samurai's body, draw two triangles on either side of the head to create the ears. The ears should be slightly curved and facing forward. Then, draw two eyes in the center of the face. The eyes should be slightly larger than the ears and facing forward.
Step 3: Draw the Nose and Mouth
Draw a nose and mouth in the center of the face. The nose should be slightly curved and should have two nostrils. The mouth should be slightly curved and should have two lips.
Step 4: Draw the Hair
Draw the hair on the top of the head. Start with a curved line for the top of the head and draw the hair outwards. Make sure to draw the hair in a way that is consistent with the shape of the head.
Step 5: Draw the Shoulders and Arms
Draw the shoulders and arms of the Samurai. Start by drawing two curved lines for the shoulders. Then draw two arms extending from the shoulders. The arms should be slightly curved and should end in hands. The hands should be slightly curved and should have five fingers.
Step 6: Draw the Legs and Feet
Draw the legs and feet of the Samurai. Start by drawing two curved lines for the legs. Then draw two feet extending from the legs. The feet should be slightly curved and should end in toes. The toes should be slightly curved and should have five toes.
Step 7: Draw the Clothing
Draw the clothing for the Samurai. Start by drawing a curved line for the top of the clothing. Then draw the clothing down the body and around the arms and legs. Make sure to draw the clothing in a way that is consistent with the shape of the body.
Step 8: Draw the Sword
Draw a sword in the Samurai's right hand. Start by drawing a curved line for the blade of the sword. Then draw a handle extending from the blade. Make sure to draw the sword in a way that is consistent with the shape of the hand.
Step 9: Add the Details
Add the details to the drawing. Start by drawing a curved line for the eyes. Then draw two curved lines for the eyebrows. Draw two curved lines for the nose and two curved lines for the mouth. Draw a curved line for the hair and draw the clothing in more detail.
Step 10: Color the Drawing
Color the drawing. Use a light color for the skin and a darker color for the clothing and sword. You can also add some additional colors to the drawing such as blue or red for the eyes and hair.
