Let’s get the essential Kirito features out of the way first.

His default outfit consists of a dark button-down shirt with a purple vest and green-lined black pants.

Kirito wears black pants with dark blue boots. Other accessories include:

A sword that can change shape depending on its intended wielder and its primary function.

Draw Kirito head

Begin with a circle and lines

Draw a circle that indicates the head, the circle should not be too big, but it must be obvious so that other features attached to the head can also be fixed without a problem.

You can use a pencil or any drawing tool like a pen or marker but preferably a pencil so you can easily erase when you make mistakes.

Inside the circle, you draw a vertical line and a horizontal line crossing the vertical line. This is where your nose and mouth would fit in.

Outline the eyes and eyebrows

The eye shape is oval.

Draw an oval inside the circle, then draw a line on each oval side. These are the eyebrows; they should be drawn very close together, don’t forget to add the eyelashes.

The eyes should have a little bit of white around them because if there isn’t enough white around the eyes, it may look strange, and for the eyebrow, make sure that the line going down from the middle of the forehead goes through the center of the eye, the iris of the eyes must take 2/3 of the eyes because Kirito’s iris takes the highest percentage of his eyes

Draw outlines for the nose, mouth, and ear

The nose is round.

Draw a small circle inside the oval on the vertical lines, then draw two lines coming out of the circle’s center; these are nostrils.

The mouth is drawn by adding a small horizontal line at the bottom of the nose which crosses the vertical lines on which we drew the nose.

For the ear, draw two triangles on both sides of the oval, then draw a horizontal line across the top of the triangle, this is the outer edge of the ear.

Draw outlines for the hair

The shape of the head defines the hair.

For the hair, once the circle for the head is drawn, you trace the upper part of the circle with a star shape, making the hair look more realistic.

The hair also covers part of the eyebrow, forehead, and ears and is also elongated to the middle of the eyes. You draw the hair with a thick line.

Draw the chin

For the chin, after you are done with the hair, then you need to draw the chin.

It would be best to trace the circle you drew for the head into a more realistic shape.

The chin must also be in thick lines because that is where the collar and other body features would be attached. The chin should be joined to the ears.

Draw Kirito body

To draw the Kirito body, you need to start with a rectangle for the body.

The rectangle is drawn so that it serves as the chest and the stomach. The rectangle hosts the hands, and it is attached to the vertical line, which serves as the neck.

The two hands, arms, fingers, and wrist are attached to the rectangle.

Draw the shirt collar and draw a line on the collar’s left side and right side.

This is how we distinguish the left and right sides. Draw a straight line under the collar. This indicates the waistline.

Draw a line on the left and right sides. This is where the pants start. Draw a line on either side. This is how we identify the left and right leg.

Outline the arm

The arm comprises two parts, the upper arm, and the forearm.

To draw the upper arm, draw a long rectangle, divide it in half, and draw a line across the middle of the rectangle.

This divides the upper arm into two equal parts.

Draw a line on both sides of the line dividing the upper arm. This is how we tell if the arm is bent or not.

Draw a line on all four sides of the rectangle. This makes the arm look realistic.

Draw a line on top of the line dividing the two halves of the rectangle, and draw a line on either side of the line dividing the two halves of the rectangle. This makes the elbow joint.

Outline the hands

This divides the hand into two equal parts.

Then draw horizontal lines crossing the straight line at the bottom of the vertical line.

This is the wrist after that draw a line on each side of the vertical line dividing the hand. This is where the fingers start.
