1. Class Intro: What's up, everybody. Welcome to another step by step tutorial. How do you like my grabbing skills. But never mind that. Today, I'm going to teach you how to draw magine Vajira from dragon boozy. This time, we're going to use colored pencils for the coloring. This is going to be a frontal pose, and once you finish the cress, make sure to take a picture and upload it so I can see it and maybe give you some feedback. So without further ado, let's go down to business. 2. How to draw and color Vegeta with colored pencils: Okay, so back with another tutorial, this time, we are going to draw margin Vagira from dragon ball C. As you can see, I started by drawing a perfect square. Each side is 4 centimeters, but you can draw it in any size you want to. Just make sure to use a suitable paper side. So without further ado, let's get to it. We're going to start by drawing Vagita's face. This is going to be a frontal pose, and we'll do that by using five lines. Following up with the sideburns and his hairline, join his massive forehead. Next, from the center of the square, we are going to draw the wrinkles between his eyes. We'll do that by using four lines. And then with a very tiny margin, you're going to draw the eyebrow and the eyebrow will connect to the side burn just like that. We're going to do the same process for the left side. Then to create the eye, we'll use three lines. It will be two diagonals and the curve. And as you can see, I'm adding more thickness to the eye, just like in the anime. Also, next, we'll add some bumps above the eyes. And then the famous check marks. We'll do that by drawing two diagonals and three curves. Next, we'll place the nose at the center. We'll use five lines for that. We'll add some wrinkles. Then we're going to give him a very cocky, confident smile, evil smile with a very, very tiny gap from the nose. We'll indicate his chin and we'll refine the jaw bit, going to make it a bit wider. So next we're going to draw the veins. We'll draw two veins, one on each side. Next, we'll add the pupils. Don't worry, I didn't forgot about them. And then we can draw the ears. We'll do that by using four lines, starting with the shape, and then adding the ditals inside. And if you want, you can use a roller cross two lines from the top and from the bottom of the ear. That way you can get the same proportions to the left ear. Also, next, we're going to draw the neck following up with the trap muscles. And then we'll draw the color of his key. As you can see, I'm marking the center of the chest, and then from that point, we'll draw the neck muscles, chest muscles. H And we'll add some creases to the side. Now, initially, this was supposed to be only a face tutorial, but later on, I decided to add the torso, so don't worry, it will come up later on. But that being said, we are going to continue by drawing Vigeas hair. First, we are going to start by drawing the shape of the hair by using this guideline, kind of looks like a flame. And then we're going to add the spikes of hair using that guideline to maintain the right symmetry and proportions. To create the spikes, I'm using two to five lines. If you guys remember this is the super sit two stage of vagia In that form, the spikes go up a bit and they look more sharp. Next, we're going to refine his hair by adding some lines in the direction of the shape, adding two to three lines on each spike. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. I'm going to do some adjustments to the spike. And, of course, don't forget to add is Adam's apple. Awesome. Now we are going to add the famous Magin symbol right on the forehead, draw a spike letter M. Now, as you can see, I started the inking process, but don't do that. Wait until we continue to draw the torso. So as you can see, first, I want to get a rough shape of the torso. Next, we're going to refine the gee by adding some more creases. Oh Next, we'll draw two circles to indicate the shoulder muscles, and then we'll refine it by adding the bicep, then refining the shoulder muscles we got to the interior, the medial, and the rear. Following up with the tricep. We're going to do the same process for the right side. And then we'll add some more veins to the shoulders as well. Also, next, we'll do some adjustments to the gee. And now we can start the inking process. So for that, please grab your black color pencil or you can use a black pen. Just make sure to sharpen the pencil, hold it closer to the tip, and, of course, rotate the page, you can have your natural hand movement. That way, it's much easier to go all over the lines. And just to make things more interesting, I decided to colour the margin symbol with the red color. If you guys remember in the anime, when Babadi tried to control Vagila, the margin symbol turned red. Awesome. And now we can start the coloring process. So this time we are going to use color pencils, prisma color pencils to be more exact. But if you don't have prisma colors, you can use copic markers. And if you don't have copic markers, you can use your HB two pencils and just do some shading just like I explained in the black and white joint tutorials on my channel. That being said, as you guys can see, I started with the blue color, marking the shaded area. You want to do is hold the pencil closer to the tip. That way you can apply more pressure and then forget more lead on the paper, thus getting more color on the paper. And, of course, make sure to color in the direction of the shape in the direction of the creases. That way, the drawing won't appear flat. And if you don't want to smear the lead, make sure to use a paper underneath your hand. Once we are done with a darker tone of blue, we'll use a brighter tone of blue and color the remaining blank areas with the same method coloring in the direction of the shape, adding more and more layers to get rid of all those white dots. Also, next, we'll move on to the skin tones. For that, we are going to use three tones, starting with the darkest tone, a warm brown tone. And as you can see, the main light sauce for this drawing comes from the left side, which means that the right side will appear darker because it gets less light. Now, I'm not using too much of the darkest tone for the skin, minimal use. And then we can move on to the Mton. As you can see, I'm marking all the shaded areas and only after I'm filling up all those blank areas. Now, what's special about the prisma colors is they are very soft unlike normal color pencils, which means you can really spread that lead more easily. But again, you don't have to use prisma colours. You can use fabricate color pencils, whatever you got. Awesome. And now we are going to move on to the bright stone, doing the same process, filling up all the remaining blank areas. Awesome. We're going to do some adjustments with the darkest tone. Just want to make those veins pop up a bit. And then we're going to colour the eyes using a blue green tone. And once we are done with that, we can color the hair. So for that, we're going to use three tones as well. It's going to be dark brown, then a golden tone, and then a bright yellow tone. As you can see, I'm starting with the darkest tone, doing the same as before coloring in the direction of the shape with a minimal use. Next, we're going to use the golden yellow, first, marking all the shaded areas and only after filling them up. That includes the eyebrows. And after that, fill the blank areas with the brightest to. Awesome. So we are basically done with the overall drawing. But if you want to get a bit of a rougher look, we can add some blood and some bruises. So for that, we're going to use the red colour pencil, just adding some lines right next to each other, spreading them all over his body and the face. Next, we'll grab the black colored pencil, adding some dirt. And I'm gonna add some more blood right there. And we are c. Everybody. This is how you draw margin Vagra from Dragon Ball Z. Please. Let me know how you did in the comment section. Keeping some as always, you'll see on the next video. Pit. H.
