1. Class Intro ✏: What's up, everybody. This is Yao. Welcome to another step by step tutorial. And today, we are going to draw Vagira with its ultra ego form. For this tutorial, all you need is an HB two pencil and a black color pencil. First, we're going to start by sketching Vgidra and after that, we'll move on to the shading process. So without further ado, let's get down to business, and by the end of this class, I want you to submit your drawing as well so I can give you my feedback. Good luck. 2. Sketching and Shading Ultra Ego Vegeta : Okay, so today we are going to draw ultra ego Vajira, and this time, it's going to be a profile pose. That's why the square is slightly on the left side and not at the center. So go ahead and draw a perfect square. Each side is 5 centimeters, but you can draw it in any size you want to. And without further ado, let's get to it. First, we are going to start by drawing a rough shape of the face. And now we are going to start by drawing Vagidas lamps above the eyes. This is the same shape as the supercane three lamps. Next, we're going to draw the nose using five lines. And as you can see, it's very similar to the nose drawn in a three codos pose. From that point, we're going to draw the lips. We'll start with the upper lip and the bottom lip and then give them a very cocky smile. We'll continue by drawing the jaw And then we'll draw his massive forehead, but take into account that I'm gonna fix it later on just because I think it turned up a bit too high. Next, we'll draw the ear. We'll start with the shape and then add all the details inside. We'll do some adjustments. And then we'll draw the eye by using three lines, two diagonals, and the curve. We'll add the iris and the pupil and, of course, the famous cheek marks. Next, we're going to draw his earring, the same earring Brus has. And we'll zoom out and draw the torso so first. We're going to start by drawing the neck. Next we'll draw his straps just by drawing two curves. We'll refine his Adam's apple and add his neck muscles. Next we're going to draw his chest and the shoulders. We'll do that by using some nice curves. So as you can see, the torso is facing towards us, but the face is at a profile angle. Also, next, we're going to draw glorious purple hair, so we'll start by drawing the shape of the hair. Once we got the overall shape, it's easier to draw the rest of the spikes because now we can maintain the right symmetry and proportions. We'll get rid of all the guidelines. Now, please ignore this path where I draw the vein because I'm going to draw it later on. If you guys remember, I'm going to fix the forehead, just like I said in the beginning. So just go ahead and add some lines to the spikes of hair. Just draw them with the direction of the shape. And as you guys can see, I'm starting the inking process. But before we continue, let's go ahead and fix the forehead. I'm just going to make it a bit smaller. Not that there's anything wrong with the forehead, but it's more similar to earlier Vojira back in the dragon Bose days. Now his forehead is a bit smaller than before. I do. Mm hm. And of course, draw the vein just like that. Awesome. So now you can go ahead and go all over the lines using your black colored pencil or you can use a black pen. Just make sure to hold the pen closer to the tip. That way you will have more control, and please rotate the page so you can have your natural hand movement. Awesome. Once it's done, please grab a purple color pencil and we'll color the eyes, leaving a blank spot at the edge. Next, we're going to color is earring. We'll use a yellow color pencil and a gray color pencil. Awesome, and now it's time for the shading process. So first, we are going to mark all the shaded areas for this drawing, and I want the main light source to come from the left side. As you can see, I'm using the transparent paper, so I won't smell the drawing with my hand. And if you guys don't know by now, this process is called sail shading. It's what they did into the animation back in the day in traditional to the animation. And it's also what they are doing now in the digital to the era. Okay. Mm hmm. A M Awesome. Next, we're going to start by shading the darkest areas. For that, we are going to hold the pencil closer to the tip. That way we can apply more pressure and therefore, we'll get more laid on the paper, resulting in a very dark shade of gray. Mm hmm. Mm. Next, we're going to shade the brightest areas. For that, we are going to hold the pencil closer to the eraser this time, and that way we'll apply less pressure, resulting in a very bright tone of gray. And, of course, make sure to shade with the direction of the shape. Awesome, and next, we're going to shade the mid tone. For that, we're going to apply a bit more pressure than before, adding more layers, and by doing that, we'll get a mid tone of gray. Awesome. I'm so we are going to do the same process for the face, for the skin tone. Awesome. Next, if you guys want, you can blend the colors using your finger just to get a very smooth transition. Of course, get rid of all the unnecessary lead. Let me just fix this part right there. And now, just to make the drawing a bit more interesting, I decided to add a geometrical shape. I wanted to go with the triangle. It's about 12 centimeters long. And of course, I went with a purple color to resemble Vegetas ultra ego form. And we are done. Everybody, I think this is the first tutorial I did for a profile angle. So please let me know what you think about it in the comment section. That's it for today. Thanks a lot for watching. Keep being awesome as always. And you'll see you on the next video very soon. Peace.
