Welcome to your ultimate guide on drawing Spy x characters. This series is known for its unique art style, and mastering it requires understanding specific proportions and design philosophies.
Essential Materials
Pencils: Mechanical pencils (0.5mm) for precise line work.
Paper: Smooth Bristol board prevents ink bleeding.
Markers: Copic or Ohuhu markers for vibrant anime coloring.
Step 1: The Anatomy of Spy x
Characters in Spy x typically follow specific anatomical rules.
Head-to-Body Ratio: Most characters are 6.5 to 7 heads tall.
Eyes: The eyes are the window to the soul. In this style, they are often large and expressive. Focus on the upper lash line.
Step 2: Facial Features
The Jaw: Start with a circle for the cranium and add a tapered jawline.
Nose & Mouth: Keep them simple. A small dot or line for the nose, and a small line for the mouth.
Hair: Treat hair as "ribbons" rather than individual strands. Define the origin point on the scalp.
Step 3: Dynamic Poses
Don't just draw standing soldiers. Use a Line of Action to create dynamic flow.
Curve the spine.
Tilt the shoulders and hips in opposite directions.
Recommended Practice
Set aside 30 minutes a day. Start by copying official art to build muscle memory, then try drawing from imagination.
