How to Draw Sasuke – Let’s get Started!
Step 1
Let’s take this guide on how to draw Sasuke from the top as we start with his head in this first part!
Sasuke’s eyes are almost covered by his spiky hair that hangs low on his face, and we shall start with that aspect.
His hair will have some larger spikes on top along with some smaller ones on the bottom of it. Then, we shall draw the bottom of his face underneath his hair, and then you can use a simple line for his mouth.
Finally, use some more curved and pointy lines for the large collar he is wearing.
Step 2 – Now, draw his shoulders and sleeves
Continuing on with your Sasuke drawing, we will now add some aspects like facial details and some more of his top. First, use some small circles along with some curved lines for his eyes.
Then, his nose and mouth will be drawn with some small, simple lines. Then, finish off this step by using some curved lines for the top of his sleeves and then draw the zipped up front of his outfit.
Step 3 – Next draw some of his arms and his rope belt
There are quite a few details we will be adding in this step of our guide on how to draw Sasuke, but as long as you take it slowly and follow the reference image you’ll be able to do it!
First, use some slightly curved lines for his arms coming down from the sleeves. Then we will be drawing the rope used as a belt for him, and this can be a bit tricky!
It’s drawn with lots of curved lines connecting to one another to create the rope effect, and it’s a portion that may need a bit of patience. It will be worth it though!
Step 4 – Draw his sword and some more of his rope belt
You’re doing a great job on this Sasuke drawing so far! Now we will draw him holding his sword. First, draw his hand and then use some straight lines for the sword that he’s holding.
Then draw some more of those small curved lines to continue drawing some more rope hanging down from his belt.
Step 5 – Now, draw some more of his outfit
This step of our guide on how to draw Sasuke will see you adding the top of his legs. First, use some curved lines for the garment he’s wearing beneath his belt and drooping over his legs.
Then, add some straighter curved lines for the top halves of his legs. Once you have added the top of his legs there will only be a few final details to add in the next step before you color it in, so let’s move to step 6!
Step 6 – Add the rest of his legs
Let’s finish off the final aspect of this Sasuke drawing by drawing the rest of his legs. Use some straight lines for his shins, and then you can finish off by drawing his feet in his shoes.
That will finish off all of the steps of this guide, but you don’t have to move on just yet! You could also add some extra details of your own to really finish off this drawing.
Some ideas you could go for could be to draw a cool background to give this drawing some more personality.
By adding a background, you could replicate your favorite scene from the Naruto manga or anime series.
You could also draw some more characters to go with him as well, and these are just a few of the many ideas you could go for. How will you finish off this drawing before the final step?
Bonus: Change Or Add Some Elements Of This Sasuke Drawing
This Sasuke drawing that we created in this guide certainly was a challenge, but hopefully it was a fun one! If the challenge became more frustrating than fun, we have a few tips on making it easier near the end of the guide.
For now, we wanted to go over a few extra ideas you can try to make this artwork even more incredible. For starters, we showed Sasuke in one of the outfits he wears in the anime and manga.
However, he has worn different clothing and outfits in his many appearances, so you have a few different options if you would like to make some variations.
If you have a favorite look for Sasuke, then it could be fun to make some variations for your drawings. If there are any special weapons he has used that you liked, then you can also change the one he has.
Speaking of favorite appearances, you could also use your favorite Sasuke moments as inspiration for the background of your image.
If you have a scene you love, you can pause the scene or look at the page if it’s in the manga. Then, you can use that background for the image here.
Another fun way to show off your favorite moments would be to add your favorite Naruto characters. These could be famous villains or heroes that Sasuke has interacted with.
Changing his pose or facial expression would be a good way to make the drawing more unique without changing the design too much. Now that you have a few ideas to work with, you can show off your favorite elements of Naruto!

Step 7 – Finish off your Sasuke drawing with some color

You can use our reference image as a guide if you want to keep the colors accurate to his usual appearance, but you could also use some colors of your own.
Once you know what colors you would like then you can have fun choosing which art mediums and tools you will choose to bring them to life. We can’t wait to see what you choose!
