Steps to Draw Eren Yeager
Here’s a quick preview of our step-by-step guide. The step-by-step guide starts with drawing the head shape, followed by the hair sections and facial details, before coloring Eren to finish your artwork.
Step 1: Draw the Chin and Jaw
Firstly, draw a V-shaped curve to begin forming the bottom half of Eren’s face to represent his chin and sharp chin for the base of the drawing.
Step 2: Sketch the Left Side Ear
Add one ear with the C-shape on each left side of the head, aligning it slightly above the jawline as shown in the image. While drawing the ear, sketch a slight hairline from the side.
Step 3: Add Right Ear
Following the same step above, draw the C-shaped ear with detailed lines to represent the ear of the character.
Step 4: Draw the Neck Line
Sketch two vertical lines coming down from the jaw to form the neck. These lines should slightly curve inward and connect with the head base, giving a natural posture to the neck.
Step 5: Start Drawing the Hairline
Now begin adding Eren’s bangs on the left side. Make sure it looks like his signature hairstyle. Draw a few thick, straight, downward hair strands falling on the forehead.
Step 6: Complete Sketching the Hairlines
Continue adding hair across the head towards the right side. Sketch the rest of the bangs and the top outline of his hair, going over the forehead and ears. This step sets the frame of his hairstyle.
Step 7: Sketch the Head
In this step, we will just draw a curved line from the side of the hair to represent the head. Follow the given image for any confusion.
Step 8: Complete Drawing the Head
Follow the same step above, sketch the curved line from the right side, and complete drawing the shape of the head.
Step 9: Add Hair Details Around the Ears and Neck
Draw more hair sections around the sideburns and behind the ears on the left side. Extend these strands slightly downward along the neck, giving his hairstyle more volume and texture.
Step 10: Complete Drawing Hair
We’ve provided a clear, step-by-step guide to help you draw the hair. In this step, continue by adding the hair on the right side, using the same technique as before.
Step 11: Sketch the Shoulder
Add the outline of his shoulders starting from the left side of the neck. Use soft slanted lines to draw the shoulders slightly downwards, along with his upper clothing outline below the neck to begin building his posture.
Step 12: Draw the Right Side Posture
In this step, sketch the outline of Eren’s right shoulder along with the upper part of his clothing. Use smooth, slightly curved lines to show the natural flow of his posture. The right side shoulder will be slightly lower than the left side to give the character a natural posture.
Step 13: Design the Left Side Eyebrow
To draw the left eyebrow, begin just above the eye, slightly following the curve. Use a smooth, arched line that tapers at both ends. For Eren’s intense expression, angle the eyebrow slightly downward toward the center of the face.
Step 14: Right Eyebrow
Repeat the same steps on the opposite side. Draw the second eyebrow with a similar slant to keep the expression intense.
Step 15: Sketch the Eye
Begin by outlining the left eye just below the eyebrow. Create an almond-like shape with a slightly pointed inner and outer corner to capture the anime style. Inside the eye, sketch a circular iris and a smaller circle for the pupil. You can also add a small white highlight to bring life and depth to the eye. Keep the lines clean and sharp to match Eren’s intense expression as shown in the image above.
Step 16: Draw the Right Eye
Now, draw the right eye to match the left, following the same exact step. Don’t forget to add a small highlight in the iris to make the eye look lively. Make sure the left eye is aligned with the right eye to maintain balance and symmetry in the face.
Step 17: Finalize the Facial Features
Design a curved line and follow with the oval to represent the nose. Now draw a straight line for the mouth just below the nose. Eren’s expression is serious, so keep the mouth flat or slightly curved downward.
Step 18: Clean up and Complete the Drawing
Finally, add some lines to his hair and complete the process of drawing Eren. Carefully erase all unnecessary pencil lines. This final step gives your drawing a clean, professional finish.
Coloring Eren Yeager
We have chosen to present our Eren Yeager tutorial with only line art instead of including the coloring process in this tutorial. The deliberate decision allows you to focus on creating Eren’s distinct facial characteristics, which include his defined jaw structure, penetrating glance, and characteristic comb-over hairstyle. You should establish your sketch lines first before adding colors because they form the foundation from which all artwork develops.
