Draw Sailor Mercury
Sailor Mercury is one of the main characters in the manga and anime series Sailor Moon. She is the shyest and smartest of the Sailor Senshi. This tutorial will show you how to draw the cute and timid Sailor Mercury.
Steps
- Draw an oval with guidelines for the head. These should be vertical for the mouth and nose and a horizontal for the eyes and ears.
- Sketch the body using geometric shapes. Use a long, curved line to represent the body's movement, a vertical rectangle for the torso, and a horizontal rectangle for the lower body. Use straight lines for the hands and legs (with circles for joints). Sketch rectangles for hands and feet.
- Create the shape of the body on the sketched “skeleton.” Outline the body and shape the face, hands, and feet. Make sure to define the waist and chest, and have the upper legs slightly thicker than the lower.
- Sailor Mercury's posture is different than those of the other Sailors, since she is naturally bashful. Reflect her personality by making sure her knees touch each other and her arms gesture like this.
- Create the face. Draw big eyes, a small nose, and a smiling mouth (following the guidelines). Make thin eyebrows above the eyes. Draw bangs on the forehead and short hair on the head. Draw a V-shaped diadem under the bangs.
- Carefully erase the guidelines.
- Cover the body with clothing. Draw a sailor costume with a short, ruffled skirt, big bows at the back and on the chest (with a round brooch at the center), long gloves on her hands and long boots on her legs with reverse-V borders at the top.
- Color the drawing! Sailor Mercury's usual outfit is white and blue as shown here, but you can give her whatever color scheme you'd like.
Tips
- Draw lightly in pencil so that you can easily rub out mistakes.
