How to Draw Tsunami from Tenchi Muyo

3/4 View

Step 1:

Begin by drawing a large circle, and divide it up with

guidelines as shown. Be sure to draw the guidelines very

lightly, because you want to be able to erase them when

you are done. In this particular picture, Tsunami is looking

up, so her face is going to be drawn from a slightly

different angle than if you were drawing a standard 3/4

view. When drawing the lower half of the face, try to

make the lines on her cheeks and chin very smooth androunded, rather than making them sharp and pointed. At

this angle, her chin is going to be very wide and flat.

Step 2:

Next, draw her eyes, nose, mouth and eyes (shown in red),

using the guidelines to keep everything proportioned and

lined up correctly. Draw her neck, as well. Unlike other

Tenchi Muyo characters, Tsunami's eyes are relatively

small, and much closer to what could be considered

normally proportioned. Be sure you don't draw the eyes

too large (well, unless you're making an SD picture...). ^_^

Step 3:

Erase all your guidelines. Start sketching the outline of her

hair. Add her eyebrows and the dots on her forehead, and

start adding detail to her eyes and shading to her mouth.

Step 4:

Add the detail on her bangs and draw in the wisps of hair

that come down over her ears. Notice that her hair doesn't

hang straight down; it is pulled back behind her head by

two red bands, (which aren't very visible in thispicture..^_^) so it rounds out by her shoulders. Shade her

eyes and add the light glares; note that her pupils are very

light, and not very prominent. Refine your sketch, erase all

unnecesary lines, and try to smooth out your sketch as best

as you can. If necessary, trace your sketch onto a clean

sheet of paper.

Step 5:

Shade or color your finished picture however you like.

Profile

Step 1:Drawing a profile can be a little more difficult than a

3/4 view. Start off with a large circle, then add the

lower half of the face. Draw the vertical guidelines as

shown to help you position the eyes, and get the

proper proportions for the front part of the face. Draw

the curved, horizontal lines to help you position her

eyes and mouth.

Step 2:

This is one of the toughest steps, so be very careful.Draw the nose and mouth, making sure to stay within

the guidelines. The lower lip is slightly farther back

on the face, and the chin curves and sticks out

slightly. It may take some practice to get the curves

and angles just right. Draw in the outline of the eye

and ear, as well.

Step 3:

Erase all your guidelines. Draw her eyebrows, shade

her eyes, and add the dot on the forehead. Begin

sketching the outline of her hair, making sure that her

hair rounds out near the base of her neck just as it did

in the previous picture.

Step 4:

Draw the rest of her hair, and add her clothing. Try to

make her bangs look very full and rounded, but don't

make them too big; they don't extend very far past her

head. Clean up your sketch and erase all unnecessary

lines.

Step 5:

Color your finished picture with whatever medium

you like. Even if you do not color your picture, it is

very important that you try to add some shading to

give your finished work a more rounded,

three-dimensional look.

That completes my tutorial for how to draw Tsunami. I hope this was of some help toyou. :) If you have any questions, please email me.
