How to Draw Enderman
Even drawing such boring angular shapes becomes much more interesting if it’s a lesson on how to draw Enderman from Minecraft
Today you will learn how to draw Enderman, which is the character of the popular Minecraft game. The Enderman is a neutral mob that can be hostile. Enderman consists of many small squares, like all objects in the Minecraft game and in the Steve drawing tutorial.
This character has a square head, long arms and legs, a black torso, and purple eyes. Enderman is one of the tallest characters in the game. As you know, Endermen live and are born in the Endermir, after which they pass through the portals to the ordinary world and the world of Hell. Most of all, Enderman is afraid of water.
In this lesson, you will need the ability to draw straight lines. Try to do it yourself, without using improvised tools. Even if the lines are not perfect the first time, it will still benefit you, because such training will help you draw other objects with high quality in the future.

How to draw Enderman step by step
- Outline the flat front of the head.
Sketch a large square for the first surface of the head. Make sure all sides are equal. Keep the edges straight and the corners sharp to preserve the cubic appearance typical of Minecraft characters. This square represents the front face of the head, and its size will determine the scale of the rest of the figure. Use a ruler or careful hand movements to maintain clean lines.
- Add the side plane of the head cube.
To make the head look solid and three-dimensional, extend the shape by adding a side plane. From the upper and lower right corners of the square, draw two short diagonal lines slanting to the right, parallel to each other. This gives the cube the illusion of perspective.
- Draw the first long arm of Enderman.
From below the head, draw a tall, narrow rectangle extending vertically down. Keep the rectangle straight and proportional to the figure’s height, Enderman’s arms are about four times the height of his head. The arm should be thin and uniform in width from top to bottom.
- Sketch the rectangular body block.
Draw a slightly wider rectangle below the head, aligned centrally. The height of the torso should be greater than the height of the head sketched before. Use clean, straight lines, and ensure the edges are parallel with the head’s sides so the construction looks convincing.
- Draw the opposite Enderman’s arm shape.
On the opposite side of the torso, sketch another long rectangle identical in size and shape to the first arm of Enderman. Make sure both arms are parallel and hang straight down. The second arm should start at the same height beneath the head and end evenly with the first one.
- Add two long rectangular legs.
Below the torso, draw two very long, narrow rectangles extending downward parallel to the arms. Each leg should match the arm width but be slightly longer to make the Enderman’s overall height impressive and tall. Leave a small gap between the legs to keep them separate.
- Draw Enderman’s facial details.
Add the simple face features typical of an Enderman. On the front face of the cube head, draw two narrow horizontal rectangles for eyes, positioned near the center of the square. Each eye should be much wider than it is tall. Do not add a mouth or other facial features.
- Sketch pixel patterns on the body.
On the body, arms, and legs, add small short lines and rectangular patches that mimic Minecraft’s pixelated texture. Keep these marks blocky and randomly distributed, maintaining a clean geometric style. Avoid overloading the figure, use just a few well-placed rectangles and fragments.
- Color Enderman dark gray and purple.
Finish the drawing by filling in flat colors. Shade the entire figure in a very dark gray or black tone, leaving the eyes as bright pink or purple rectangles to stand out sharply against the dark body. You can use lighter grays to slightly vary the surfaces. Minecraft characters are made of flat colors and simple lighting.
Simple Enderman Drawing Tutorial
To draw Enderman in this way, outline a small rectangular head with a slightly narrower width than the body. Below it, sketch another longer rectangle to represent the torso.
Sketch parallel vertical shapes extending from the lower part of the body to form the legs, trying to make them straight.
Then, add two more elongated rectangles on the sides for the arms. Add the eyes as two horizontal rectangles near the top of the head, leaving a small gap between them.
Once the figure is complete, fill the entire body with black, leaving the eyes a bright purple to recreate Enderman’s glowing look. Use a ruler or steady strokes to keep all edges straight and uniform.
I love minecraft and the enderman is my favorite mob in the game, and this is my favorite drawing tutorial.
Thanks! I’m really glad you liked this Enderman tutorial.
