His Titan Formย ?
~ How To Draw Titan Eren From Attack On Titan
By: JollyArts on YouTube
However, things get really intense when Eren turns into a fierce and a violent Titan. Thatโs the real deal!
From afar, putting Erenโs Titan form to paper may seem complex but JollyArts makes it look like a cakewalk?! He just starts by drawing a basic face with shoulder-length long hair surrounding a sharp jawline. The Titan Eren manifests sharp ears and tongue. Much of the lower part of his face is covered with his lipless mouth? exposing his sharp, monstrous teeth?. Pay special attention to the Titanโs aggressive, sunken, eye-browless eyes. They make your characterโs face come alive!
Next, his body is nothing but a muscular mass with bulky muscles protruding out from all over his shoulders and his chest. His abs are covered in multiple, small packs. As you can observe in the drawing, there is a thin, gray gap where his chest is finely divided into the left and the right portion. You can highlight this region to add a depth effect there. Finish this up with shading highlights or simply outline it with a black marker penย โ๏ธ and there you go! You have successfully and accurately drawn the animeโs main protagonist in his monster form!

Levi Ackerman and Lessons in Artย ?
Step-by-step tutorialsย 1๏ธโฃ 2๏ธโฃ 3๏ธโฃ such as these make it really easy for you. These are perfect for beginners. And as and when youโve dealt a fair hand at anime drawings, youโll discover that it starts coming naturally to you! Our artist Jordan Persegati drew Levi Ackerman, yet another seriesโ fan-favorite. Further, he compared his art to a similar drawing he had completed almost two years ago?. This unique way of reviewing his art provided him with some important insights. As he goes about his tutorial, he offers priceless advices to other anime artists as well?โ?!ย .
โI donโt have to pause and think about what colors and techniques to use. It just comes naturally to me and I know it through experience. As you gain knowledge of your craft, it brings about confidence, and with confidence comes speed.โ
These golden words reflect in his drawing. He varies the thickness of the artwork in some places to make its line-work more dynamic and life-like. As opposed to his two-year-old art, he colors the left part of Leviโs face in shadow and imparts highlights to the right part to yield a depth-effect. The blood dripping on the top of it is a little bit more intense in color and texture, especially in places where it apparently oozes out from Leviโs face. He has picked up effects such as the dripping effect and the smokey effect (one he has used as Leviโs background in this artwork).
Hold on though! As much as he encourages experimenting, he also advises on imparting a certain consistency across your drawings to make your portfolio? consistent. He now uses the white gel pen to impart a texture to the characterโs hair. Notice how he was confused with Leviโs hair color through the drawing, but he eventually managed to make it jet-blackย ?. โEverything should come together in the endโ, is the lesson he conveys.

The drawing has been conjured up in such a way that Mikasaโs soldier attire with the Survey Corpโs symbol at the back of her beige jacket? steals the show. Amy uses a paintbrush? to create a dramatic windy-grey atmosphere in the drawing?. With her hair and the scarf around her neck waving in the right direction, Amy eruditely shows you how to add atmospheric motion effectย ??ย ย to a drawing.
You can also create mood effectย โบ๏ธโน๏ธ in the drawing through the covers Annie Leonhart sketch. @siksketchโs rendition of Annie Leonhart, the beautifully remorse female titan is simple. And yet, it has a brooding air to it. Much of it is due to Annieโs intense face, and the emotionless look in her eyes, an expression that is known to have been her characteristic trait in the anime. The style of shadingย ? used her is crisscross technique. You can easily pick it up from our shading tutorial.
