1. Class Intro: What up, everybody. This is Y. Welcome to another step by step tutorial. And today, we're going to draw the maniac Katsuki Bakugu from my hero Academia. So first, we're going to start by sketching Bakugu using an HB two pencil or a mechanical pencil. Next, we're going to use some inking pens to ink the entire drawing. And finally, we're going to use alcohol based markers to color them. So without further ado, let's go down to business. 2. How to Draw Bakugo : What's up, everybody? This is the and today we are going to draw Bakugu from my hero academia. As you can see, I already drew a perfect square. Each side is 5 centimeters, but you can draw it in any size you want to make sure to use a suitable paper size. So we're going to draw Bakugu in a frontal pose. I'm going to start by drawing the eyes. As you can see, I'm drawing two diagonal lines on each side. Next, I'm going to draw the left eye. I'm simply going to do it by drawing half of a circle and then we'll draw the iris and the pupil at the center but slightly to the left. I'm going to do the same process for the left side. And if you want to maintain the right proportions, you can use a ruler and just pull a line from one edge of the eye to the other. Okay, so next we're going to draw the job. First, I'm going to start by drawing two curves on each side. Make sure not to draw the chin too sharp. And now we can draw the nose. So I'm going to start by drawing some straight lines right there. And then I'm going to draw the nostrils simply by drawing two lines, two commas, if you will. Now we want to draw his crazy insane smile. So we'll do that by drawing two curves right at the center of the bottom rectangle. As you can see, the left side of the smirk is up a bit. We'll draw a line in the middle to indicate the teeth. And then another curve for the bottom lip. As you can see, I'm doing some adjustments to the jaw and for the mouth, I'm going to try to make it look a bit thicker. Awesome. So now we are going to draw the hair. So I'm going to start by drawing this circle. That will be our guideline to help keep the right proportions of the hair. And now I want to draw his hair spikes, and we'll do that simply by drawing two lines. Two lines for each spike. As you can see, they cover his eyes a little bit. Awesome. Now we're going to stop with the hair, and I want to draw the mask. Okay. So we'll start from the left side. And what we got here is basically six lines, and we got that pointy part of the mask in the middle. As you can see, it points to the nose. Awesome. Once we're done with that, I'm going to draw the ears. So as you can see, we'll use one curve all the way up and another curve right there. We'll do the same for the left side. Again, use the square in order to maintain the white proportions, and then we'll add the details of the ear. Awesome. Now we can continue with the other part of the mask. So just draw some pointy edges right above the ear and next to the hair. As you can see, it doesn't have to be the same number of spikes. Okay, I checked some references and sometimes they draw it with four, spikes, sometimes five, sometimes six, it really depends. So just flow with it. Okay, next, we are going to get rid of all the unnecessary guidelines. I'm going to draw some wrinkles right there just to make them seem more angry. And then we'll continue with the rest of the spikes. As you can see, now I'm using the guideline I drew before. And actually, I think I should have drew it a bit higher, the spikes. So later on, I actually gonna delete some of them and draw the hair a bit higher. And I'm going to give some thickness to the lines of the eyes just to make it seem more bold. By the way, there's another alternative for the mouth. So if you want to draw them like that, you can also do that. I think I'm going to stay with the crazy smile from before, and I'm going to draw the hair a bit higher just like I explained before, like 1 centimeter higher. Awesome. So now we can draw the torso. So first, we'll start with a metal part on the neck and we'll do that by drawing six curves on each side. And again, you can use the square to keep the proportions. Awesome. Next, we're going to draw two circles, one on each side, and we'll draw another curve inside them that way we can create some depth. Now it looks like a hole. Awesome. Next, we're going to draw the shoulders simply by drawing two curves on each side. And then we'll draw his collar bones and the neck muscles. Awesome. Now we're going to draw his spikes above his head. You know, those orange thing is. I'm gonna draw two on the right side and one on the left. So we'll start with the right side, and we'll give it a nice boler And then one spike on the left. Awesome, and we are done with the sketch. Now we are going to grab some inking pens and ink this entire join. I'm going to use these three pens. We got 0.2, 0.03, and 0.05. Now, I'll use 0.2 for the shoulder, for the hair. Basically, for the most of the sketch, you can also use 0.1. But for the face, for example, the eyes and the nose, I'm going to use 0.05 and maybe 0.03, just because the nib is a bit thinner and it helps me to be much more accurate. Okay, so I'm going to start with 0.2. You can see I'm rotating the page, so I can have my natural hand movement. I don't want to go against that natural movement. Although sometimes people prefer to draw it when the join is steady. In my opinion, just do what works for you. Awesome. So once we are done, we're going to grab the eraser and just get rid of all the lead, and it's really important to get rid of all the lead because you don't want to smell the lead later on once we use the copic markers. And you can also use the erasus stick for the stubborn areas. 3. How to Color Bakugo : Okay, so once it's clean, we can start to use the Copic markers. So the Copic markers are alcohol based markers, which means they can blend very well. They got a huge variety of colors, and I already picked the colors for Bakuku. So we are going to start with the skin tones. I'm going to start with a brighter color. And if you look at your top left of the screen, you can see the exact number of pic I'll be using. So as you can see, I'm just filling this entire area going up down and up again in the direction of the shape. Okay, you want to color it in the direction of the shape. I'm going to do the same for the neck area. And then we'll use some shades. So I'm going to use a darker tone for the shaded areas. For this drawing, the light source will come from the left side, which of course, means the left side will be brighter and the right side will be a bit darker. So as you can see, I'm adding the shade that drops from those metal things. Next, I'm going to use an even darker tone for the darkest areas. And then I'm going to blend the colors. So I'm going to use the mitne to blend the darkest tone and I'm going to use the brighter tone to blend the metne. Awesome, and this is the result we are going after. So I'm going to do the same process for the left shoulder and then we'll focus on the face. Awesome. So we are going to color the face with the same method. Just like before I'm going to color with the direction of the shape, I'm going to add more layers with the same color to get more saturation. Then I'm going to use the meton to create some shade. As you can see, I'm placing it on the far left of his jaw on the bottom lip and on the nose. Next, we use the darker tone. Okay. And I'm going to do the same process for the ears. Awesome. And now that we are done with the skin, we can focus on the metal. Okay, so for the metal, we'll use some grays and a black color. I'm going to start with the brightest color. As you can see, I'm using fast brush strokes in the direction of the shape towards the edge. Next, I'm going to use a darker tone. And then I'm going to blend the meton with the brighter tone, just like I explained before. That way, we'll get a nice gradient. Now, what you want to do is use an even brighter tone that's very bright gray, and we'll use it in this area just to blend it with the meton. Awesome. Next, I'm going to add some shades with C seven, and again, blend it with the tone. Now, for this area, I'm going to use the black color, because this area will be the darkest. Why? Because it gets the least amount of light, and we'll use the same black color to color the shades beneath the face. Awesome. So I'm going to do the same process for the right side, and then we'll continue with the mask. Okay, so for the mask, I'm going to use C seven. That's the darkest gray we used for the metal, and I'm going to use the black color as well. So I'm going to start by filling this entire area with C seven. And before we'll move to the black color, I'm just going to color those eyes. So we'll use a red colour for that. I'm going to use a darker red to create some shade and then blend it with five again. As you can see, I'm adding some more thickness to the smile. Now we want to add some shade right below the eyes. We'll use a bright gray for that. And now we are going to get back to the mask and add the shades. So basically the shades from the hair. And of course, we'll blend it with C seven. Okay, so now we'll add some shade for the teeth again with the C one, the brightest gray. And now we can move on to the hair. So for the hair, I'm going to use two colors. We'll start with a brighter one. That's Y 21. It's a buttercup yellow. And what I want to do is basically finding the area where the hair was, and I'm going to color around it. So that's basically the exact same thing that I said before. I'm going to color in the direction of the shape. So the shape is the hair, and this will be our starting point. Awesome. Next, I'm going to use a darker tone for the shades. It's a very warm gray. And then we'll do some blending, not too much. Also, next, we are going to color those spikes above the head. I'm going to start with some oranges. We use the brightest tone for the edge, then the midton for the middle part, and then the darkest tone right on the bottom. And we'll blend the colors just like before. Next, we use C seven and the black color for the inner parts. Okay. Awesome, and I'll do the same process for the remaining two. And if you want, you can use the broad tip for the edges just to have more control. Now, as you can see, I accidentally carried outside of the lines, and I'm going to use the colorless blender to soak the ink. Just like that. And we are done. Everybody, this is how you draw Bakugu from my hero Academia. I hope you guys and girls enjoyed this tutorial. That's it for today. Thanks a lot for watching. Keep being awesome, and I'll see you on the next video. Peace. And
