How to Draw Guts Berserk Step By Step

Draw Guts’ Pose

To draw Guts standing, draw an oval to represent his head.

Then draw a line running through the oval for the neck and shoulders.

His body is drawn as a rectangle.

Draw a vertical line to represent his forearm coming from the shoulders, then draw a thick circle representing the elbow of the arm and lines running across from this circle to represent his wrist on his armour.

A short vertical line is drawn below the rectangle forming the body to represent his waist.

Then draw an oval joining this short vertical line, which should represent his groin.

Draw the Head

Start by outlining his jaw, chin, and the top of his head.

Then draw the nose and the eyes. Just resent them with lines at this stage.

Draw Guts’ Berserker Armour

To draw the arms of Guts Berserk armour, draw one of the arms with 2 lines running over the outline representing his arm and hand.

Draw the shoulder of the armour

Draw a slightly bent line that looks like it is joining the left jaw to the left angle of his shoulder, and do the same for the right side.

The arm of his armour on the right side is drawn from the shoulder of the armour as a slightly curved line that runs through to the elbow.

Start drawing his thigh

By drawing lines from the two lower angles of the rectangle representing his body which follows closely beside the oval representing his waist and runs down to form his right and left thigh.

To separate the thigh, draw a line running from the centre of the lower section of the oval running down to the left to form the left thigh then from the upper one-third of that line, draw a vertical line running to the right to draw the right thigh.

Draw the Dragon Slayer Sword

This process is simple, draw a rectangle representing the weapon with an extra line on the slash section and an extra line representing its hilt (the handle) on the right side of his shoulder.

Also, outline the blade which appears on the left side behind him.

Start To Draw His Dagger

Draw the dagger-like a rectangle with a pointed edge on the right side of his body, running from the lower part of the rectangle representing his body to the lower part of the oval representing his waist.

This is used as a guideline for the length of the dagger.

Draw the dagger’s hilt with two thin lines running from the bottom to the top of the blade, then close the two ends to make it look like a rectangle.

Guts Mouth Drawing

To lower and deepen this shape, add some more curves.

Guts Neck Drawing

Draw Guts’ Thigh of His Suit

From the oval representing his groin, then draw three horizontal lines running from its bottom to meet at a horizontal line starting at its centre and extending outwards.

Draw Guts’ Chest Plate

Draw a rectangle shape with an extra point on it.

Then draw a sphere-like shape with a single horizontal line representing its centre.

Draw two vertical lines coming out of the top and bottom points of the rectangle to form his chest plate, then add two spheres representing buckles on each side of his chest plate.

The chest plate of his armour is fairly simple to draw; make sure that you keep it symmetrical.

To draw this part of the armour, draw a small vertical line at the bottom and add two small lines coming inwards from it on both sides.

Then continue making marks down his centre and extending outwards up both sides.

Draw the spikes on his armour (optional)

To draw them:

1. Start by drawing a short vertical line a short distance from his neck.
2. Draw a short horizontal line towards it.
