Tutorial: Fan Art, Samurai Champloo, Mugen


With this tutorial I wanted to highlight a different style of Anime styled drawing. Mugen as a character is recognized by his hair and blank expression on his face. Understanding the elements that make up the character is the first step of creating a successful fan art. Now Samurai Champloo which is the Anime that the character above, Mugen, comes from has a more of a unique style. The art style of this Anime leans towards more of a realistically proportioned face, but they still keep a similar facial feature style. Keeping the art style in mind while creating any fan art is important.

Anyway the drawing itself here is relatively simple. There are minimal amounts of lines, but this will put more emphasis on the accuracy of the lines. When starting drawing with this style you want to start drawing lightly as the room for error with the precise lines that define this style. The shading is also kept simple using only solid colours without creating any sort of gradients. The hair however is shaded with a more of a realistic texture by shading in layers.

Feel free to post your outcome in the comment section below, have fun!
