Orochimaru, one of the three legendary ninjas known as Sannin, is one of the most skilled ninjas to ever exist in the Naruto series.
In order to help out other Naruto fans in drawing Orochimaru, we have created this step-by-step drawing tutorial showing you how to draw Orochimaru from Naruto step by step using basic shapes and simple techniques.
Materials and Tools
Contents
For a drawing like this, all you need is a pencil and a sketchpad.
We recommend using a mechanical pencil (you can buy them at any office supply store) since you don’t have to sharpen it and your lines will be clean and crisp.
Mechanical pencils also tend to write very darkly so if you’re making your drawing fairly simple nose right color, then we’d suggest using one with an eraser on top so that when you make mistakes, you can erase them instead of trying to go over it again.
Finally, make sure that whatever paper that you’re drawing on has plenty of room to use your arms freely!
If it’s too cramped then not only will you find yourself running out of room but you’ll end up having bad posture while drawing.
Easy Step by Step Drawing Tutorial of Orochimaru from Naruto
Start with a Circle
First, draw a circle for Orochimaru’s head using a compass or by tracing around a circular object of equal size.
This should be slightly bigger than you want your finished product to be.
The circle shouldn’t have an outline—it should just be one filled-in shape, but keep in mind that it will get smaller as you move forward with your drawing, so don’t make it too big!
Some people may find it easier to trace around something before filling in and enlarging their circles.
To draw Orochimaru’s body, begin by drawing a large circle.
This is where his head will be.
Next, draw an even smaller circle inside of it; these will be guidelines for his eyes.
Then, add two large ovals to represent his upper body and shoulder area.
Draw small lines on either side of each oval to indicate where he will later have arms and hands.
On either side of his face, add three lines that slope down at almost a right angle.
These are meant to show that he has ears sticking out from behind his hair—long and elf-like!
Add details in the body
Draw outline for hands
Use a straight edge and pencil to outline each of his hands.
To get an idea of how they should look, look at our reference drawing image given below.
The outlines should be close enough that only minimal details need to be filled in later on, but far enough apart that his hand can fit inside them.
Try to use freehanded guidelines rather than ruler lines so that your drawing has a more natural, fluid feel.
Draw outline for arms
Like any drawing, you’ll start with an outline of your subject.
To make sure that both arms are anatomically correct, draw them out at an angle from your initial body line.
Be careful not to add in details yet; just get it close enough so that when you fill in your drawing, everything will be in proportion.
For example, if you know that a person’s right hand is times larger than their left hand and they’re holding something—like a sword or a cell phone—in their right hand then make sure to account for those details before continuing.
If not, then they might end up looking wonky once you start filling things in.
Draw outline for legs
Place a ruler in between your thumb and index finger on each hand and hold it vertically.
Place your pencil on top of your fingers so that it is pointing down at an angle.
Begin drawing a small line at one end of your vertical line, working up and down until you have a thick black outline for each leg.
Remember to make them as wide as possible, as short legs are one of Ichigo’s traits.
This process should create two identical, but slightly smaller rectangles.
When you are finished, erase any excess black lines with an eraser so that they do not show up when you begin coloring in the legs.
Repeat these steps for both legs on Monbody.
Draw outline for feets
Use your pencil and get a blank sheet of paper.
First, draw out his foot by following along with step 1.
His feet look like regular feet so it is pretty easy to draw them.
After you have drawn one foot, move on to step 2 and draw another one that looks exactly like the first one.
This will make it easier for you if you want to trace it with your pencil later on.
Draw Long Hairs
The first step in drawing Orochimaru is to draw his long black hair.
It is advisable to draw his hair straight down as if it was falling freely from above.
When you start sketching, make sure that you don’t leave out any gaps when drawing from left to right, or else it would not be natural.
From here, start adding details on both sides of his hair, making it look as if they were being blown in a way by a breeze or airflow.
The Eyes, Nose, Mouth, & Eyebrows drawing
Start drawing Orochimaru’s eyes. His eyes are very unique, so look at how we drew them to make sure you draw them accurately.
His eyebrows also have a unique shape so pay close attention to how they’re drawn and try to mimic that with your own drawing.
Next, move on to his nose which is fairly simple.
The mouth is more detailed though, so go slow and use reference if you need it!
After that, shade his eyes with black ink.
Draw Neck Line
To draw Orochimaru from Naruto, you’ll first need to draw a neckline.
Start at an anchor point and move outwards in both directions.
Connect these two points and use them as guides for his neck muscles.
From there, create a smooth curve that continues downwards until it ends just below his chest.
The middle part of his neck will be thicker than either end, where his shoulders are located.
Orochimaru Arms drawing
Draw a straight horizontal line to represent Orochimaru’s left arm.
Curl it at an angle to create his elbow and forearm.
Draw a triangle for his hand, then add his fingers and thumb next.
His arms should be out a bit at an angle, so he looks like he’s just raising his hands.
Most of Orochimaru’s physical strength comes from his arms and chest, so it makes sense that they’re big and bulky (they are, after all, trained for strength).
His forearms have pads on them as well; make sure you draw those since they’re a key part of his character design!
Orochimaru Hands drawing
The hand is probably one of the hardest things to draw.
It takes a lot of patience and practice to get it right.
But don’t worry; it’s also one of the easiest parts to draw if you just follow a few easy steps.
First, let’s draw Orochimaru’s hands.
A basic principle of manga drawing is that characters have their palms facing up and have flat hands with five fingers.
In addition, you want your palms and fingers to be positioned at about chest level for most characters, but for Orochimaru, we’re going to make them bigger since he has a longer torso than most people; his arms are comparatively the same compared to other characters in many series as well so there you go—the character is larger overall so his hands look closed shape.
Draw Orochimaru clothes
Most anime and manga characters have a very unique fashion sense.
They’re wearing belts that are so much more than something to hold up their pants.
The most popular is a black belt that’s tied off with a rectangular-shaped buckle, but these can be found in all sorts of crazy styles and colors.
The clothes of Orochimaru are seen wearing a white garb consisting of a shirt and trouser type pants, which have purple lining at their edges.
Underneath, he wears mesh armor with an orange lining.
He wears dark purple nail polish on his fingers and toes, as well as a bracelet around each wrist and another one around his right ankle.
His attire also consists of various bandages that cover his body, most prominent being those around his chest (directly above his heart) and feet to wrap up his battle wounds in such instances.
Draw legs & shoes
Legs and shoes seem to be a lot of people’s stumbling blocks when drawing Orochimaru.
However, they don’t have to be!
There are some cool things you can do with his legs that’ll make them look so much better.
First of all, if you’re drawing her from a side view, like our drawing here, then you’ve to draw short lines for his ankles/shoes.
Then draw more curved lines for where each part of her foot would hit the shoe.
Make sure that there is shadowing around each line (where it meets with other parts) so that it looks kind of three-dimensional; don’t forget about adding an ankle bone on both sides as well!
Bold Outlines
Next, you need to add bold outlines so that you can see your drawing more clearly.
You don’t have to trace your drawing.
Instead, just use a pencil to connect all of your desired lines.
It should look something like what is shown below.
Try not to press too hard when doing this as it will create darker areas on your paper, which you don’t want.
If you go slowly enough and light enough, there shouldn’t be any dark marks left behind at all.
Remember: if you go back in and make modifications later on, those lines will stay!
Add Colors to Orochimaru’s drawing
Use colors on your drawing.
This can make your drawing more attractive and colorful, thus enhancing its overall visual quality.
On top of that, it’s also easier to draw in colors than in black and blue, so you might be more likely to stick with it longer.
One way to add color to your drawing is by using colored pencils.
They’re easy to use and easy to erase if you make a mistake!
If you really want a challenge, though, try adding colors digitally.
That way, if you don’t like what comes out at first, then you can easily erase or re-do it as many times as needed until it looks just right!
