Hello everyone, I hope you are very well, I am Samuel Rojas, I have been drawing for about a year and a half and I have loved character design, so this time I am here to bring you the tutorial on how to create characters, this time specifically for combat . We'll do the ninja above.

 

(This is my picture)

Search References

The first thing we have to do after having the clear idea is to look for references.

To find references I use Pinterest.

We must keep in mind what we want to achieve, for example I want to create a battle character that is a ninja, but in a futuristic urban style. So we must look for ninja references.

Use the references.

Then, from this pair of references we must extract more essential aspects that they have in common. Like none of them show their faces.

They have dark and loose clothes.

And of course, a sword.

I forgot, they are skinny and skinny. :)

Now that we have this clear, we must draw a pose and structure to begin with, we can draw it with the help of references, photos or our mind and experience.

As you can see, I used the pose in the photo. Now continue to choose clothes, remember that it will be a futuristic ninja. so let's go back to pinterest.

This seemed the right one. it is dark, covers the face and with that style of the future.

After basing myself on the photo, be careful not to do it the same way, I have this sketch.

Now it remains to give a little color to have clear ideas.

Termiar Dibujo.

Good and with this our character would be ready, it only remains to do the lineart and the correct coloring, you already know how to do that, right? -_-

 

In short I will leave the lineart, base color and lighting and final.

And so our ninja friend of the future looks like this, I hope you liked my tutorial, if you have any suggestions, leave it to me in the comments, this is my first and I want to continue learning. Goodbye everybody.
