    How to Draw Future Trunks from Dragonball Z

    Front View

    Step 1:

    From what I have seen, most Dragonball Zcharacters can be drawn using these basic shapes andproportions. Dragonball Z characters all havesimilarly constructed faces: they have largeforeheads, slanted, triangular eyes, and small lowerfaces. Once you see how the basic face isproportioned, you should be able to draw whichevercharacter you like.

    Begin by drawing a large, slightly elongated circlefor the forehead. Draw the lower half of the face anddivide it up with lightly drawn guidlines as shown.Notice that the lower half of his face can be dividedup into equal sections; the main horizontalguidelines are equidistant from each other. Draw theslanted guidelines for the eyes, and sketch theposition of the mouth (which should be directlybelow the guideline for the nose).

    Step 2:

    Erase some of the unnecessary guidelines.

    Draw the outline of the eyes, (which should

    be thin and triangular), as well as the outline

    of the ears and neck.

    Step 3:

    Sketch the outline of his hair. The hair

    should be very large and rounded, more so if

    his head is tilted forward. Add more detail to

    his eyes. When drawing his eyebrows, make

    sure they rest directly above his eyes. Draw

    the nose and mouth next, making them very

    small and close together.

    Step 4:

    Next, erase all the guidelines. Add the detail

    to his hair; with Dragonball Z characters, the

    more detail, the better, so don't be stingy.

    Make the lines on his hair as smooth and

    rounded as you can; make them follow the

    flow of the hair, rather than drawing them

    straight down. Draw the shading lines underhis eyes and mouth, and add detail to his

    ears. Draw his clothing, his sword, and the

    muscles around the neck. Erase any

    unwanted lines and clean up your sketch.

    Step 5:

    Take your final sketch and color or shade it

    however you like.

    3/4 View

    Step 1:

    Next, we'll draw the 3/4 view. You can

    probably use these proportions for other DBZ

    characters, too.Draw a large circle, then add the lower half

    of the face and divide the shapes up with

    guidelines. These are pretty much the same

    shapes as in the front view, except they have

    been rotated downwards and to the side. The

    3/4 view has less guidelines than the front

    view, but that's only because adding them

    would be unneccesary at this angle. We'll

    only be using the guidlines for the eyes, nose,

    and the central guideline that runs from theforehead to the chin.

    Step 2:

    Next, use the upper horizontal guideline todraw in the eyes and eyebrows. Draw the

    nose and mouth, making sure to draw the

    mouth very close to the nose. Add the neck,

    too.

    Step 3:

    Erase all the guidelines. Draw the basic shape

    of his hair, making it very thick and rounded.

    Add his pupils, and shade beneath his mouth.

    Step 4:

    Draw the details of his hair, including the

    shorter wisps that hang down over his eyes

    and stick out from his head. Add the wrinkles

    above and below his eyes. Draw his coat, and

    add the ponytail (which is barely visible over

    his shoulder). Erase all unnecessary lines and

    clean up your sketch.

    Step 5:

    Now that you have drawn his face, you can

    shade and color it however you like. Yes, I

    realize I left out that little badge thing that

    goes on the shoulder of his jacket; I forgot to

    draw it. ^_^ Its just a circle, though, so I don't

    think you'll have too much difficulty adding

    it if you really want to.

    Super Saiyajin Form

    Trunks is one of the characters on DBZ that can

    transform into a Super Saiyajin (my apologies if I

    spelled that wrong). If you would rather draw him

    in this form, there are just a few extra steps you

    have to take. First off, make his forehead a little

    bigger, and his facial features more slanted andgrouped together. The lines of his face will be

    much more sharp and slanted, and his eyes will

    be much more narrow. For the hair, there are two

    different styles (well, that I found, anyway). ^_^

    In the first style, part of his hair is pulled back; in

    the second, his hair isn't pulled back. When

    drawing his hair in the Super Saiyajin form,

    basically just draw a series of sharply angled,

    pointed spikes that extrude from his scalp. It

    helps to draw the outline of his head, as shown in

    these two pictures, so you can tell where the hair

    should go. It's easy to make it too big or too small

    if you don't know where to position it. Even

    though its spiky, make the hair full and rounded,

    rather than just using straight spikes.

    Here's what the hair will look like when the

    guideline for the back of the head has been

    removed and the hair has been shaded. It's quite

    different from his normal form, which is why I

    felt I should go over it, at least a little bit.

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