How to Draw Goku Face
- Draw the outline of Goku face.
Use a curved line for the top and sides of Goku’s face, tapering down to create a pointed chin that gives the face its recognizable shape. This step forms the basic shape for the rest of the drawing and should resemble an oval with a slightly angular bottom.
- Sketch the eyes and eyebrows.
The eyes of Goku are a defining feature of his face. To draw anime eyes, sketch two triangular shapes for the outlines. The eyebrows should slope downward toward the center of the face. Make sure the eyes and eyebrows are symmetrical.
- Add the pupils inside the eyes.
To complete Goku’s eyes, draw the pupils. In this drawing, similar to most classic anime, the pupils are represented as two simple circles positioned just below the character’s eyebrows. Next, draw a few short horizontal lines under the eyes to give Goku’s face an even more recognizable look.
- Sketch the nose and mouth.
Now, using a short vertical line, draw the anime nose just below the eyes. Below the nose, draw a small, slightly curved horizontal line to form Goku’s mouth. Keep the mouth small and centered. Just below the mouth, draw a short horizontal line for the top edge of the chin.
- Draw the ears of Goku.
To finish the basic face shape, draw Goku’s ears on each side of the head. They should be positioned right at the horizontal level of the eyes. Use curved lines to form the ears’ outer shapes and add a few internal details to make them more realistic.
- Draw the bang of Goku.
Goku’s hair is spiky and unique. Start drawing anime hair of Goku sketching the sections of hairstyle that fall over his forehead, using sharp, triangular shapes. This way you will create bangs, which are one of the most recognizable parts of the character.
- Finish drawing Goku hairstyle.
Then, outline the large, sweeping spikes that extend outward from the sides and top of his head. Goku’s hairstyle consists of three large sections of hair on the top left side of his head and three smaller sections located on the right side.
- Finalize the Goku face drawing.
The final drawing should be clean and well-finished. To achieve this, erase all unnecessary lines from earlier steps. Then, outline the key lines of your Goku face drawing. This can be done using a darker pencil or a liner. If everything is ready, let’s color the drawing of Goku’s head.
- Add colors to Goku head.
Color Goku’s face using light peach or beige tones for the skin. The sclera of the eyes should be white, with black pupils, and the eyebrows should match the hair color. Goku’s hair is typically black, but it can also be golden-yellow (Super Saiyan) or bright blue (Super Saiyan Blue), depending on the version.
Simple Foku Face Drawing Tutorial
The primary difference between this tutorial and the first one is its simplicity, focusing more on the outline and basic features of Goku’s face while omitting finer details. The process also involves fewer steps.
To draw Goku’s face in this simple style, start by sketching the lower portion of the head with an angular chin. Add the spiky outline of his hair, extending outward with large, sharp tips. Then, draw the anime ears and details inside them. Draw the eyes below the hairline, adding small circular pupils beneath the eyebrows.
Include the inner facial details, such as a small nose and a slightly curved mouth. Refine the hair by drawing additional spikes. Complete the drawing by coloring it. Use a light peach tone for the skin and black for the hair, leaving small highlights to create dimension.
