Learn To Draw Sailor Moon



If you do not know who Sailor Moon is, she is the main character of a popular manga series that has the same name. It was first published in 1991 and was made by Naoko Takeuchi. Ever since it first came out, this manga got a lot of reissues, got spun off to various storylines, got translated to English and later on became an anime. If you want to learn to draw Sailor Moon, its best that you study various pictures of her. Get to know the different aspects of her personality as you view different illustrations of her.

Materials

There are a couple of materials that youd need before you can start drawing. First, you have to get some Sailor Moon manga issues. Get one from Anime bookstores or even your local bookstores children sections. Get some pencils. Also, it would be better if you have inking pens. Best, if you have different colors. Lastly, you should have paper.

Get Acquainted: Meet Sailor Moon

If youre not a fan, the very first thing you should do is become acquainted with Sailor Moon. Go and browse through different issues of the Mange. Do this so that you can have an idea of what your subject character looks like even before you get to draw her. If you cant get a hard copy of an issue or book, try searching the Internet. For sure you can find something online. After browsing, try to pick just one scene that you want to concentrate on and draw.

Start Drawing

Draw a girl that has a face with a slightly heart-shape. She should also have large and round blue eyes. It is pretty normal for you to encounter the heart motif throughout the manga. This is because she is described to be someone who has a very kind heart.

Her eyes should be big and inviting. Closely observe the manga and youll see that her eyes have a reflective manner. You can achieve this effect by putting a lot of white spots in her eyes. However, there are proper positions for these spots and they also depend on the direction that your character is looking. So, go back to your picture and observe properly.

Drawing The Hair

Once youve figured out the way you want her eyes to look, you can now add her hair. Sailor Moons hair is her trademark. This also applies with the different characters in the manga. Thus, drawing her with a different haircut or hairstyle would not make her Sailor Moon anymore.

If you will observe carefully, youll see that her whole head is heart shaped, including her hair. Sailor Moon has a very long hair that is always kept in pigtails. So, add some long hair and a big puff of bangs that forms a heart on your characters forehead. Also, put 2 small puffs, one on the right and one on the left side of her head.

These look a bit like animal ears. However, they are not. Those two puffs are actually her hair accessories. The hairstyle she is sporting is called "odango" hairstyle, which is based on the Japanes word for meaning rice dumplings. Her pigtails should sprout out from the two puffs. Color her hair yellow when if its already time to put some color in your drawing.

The Body And Clothes

Sailor Moons body is quite slender. Her clothes are also another trademark. She wears a uniform, which is basically a sailor dress that is colored white. The short skirt is also white, but has some blue accents. She has a big red bow with a heart pendant on the middle of her chest. Her legs are slender and long with red boots.
