How to Draw Naruto

Naruto is a popular manga by Masash Kishimoto and many artists are aspiring to learn how to draw Naruto. The character of Naruto can be described as a loud and hyperactive adolescent ninja. He is constantly searching for approval and recognition of his skills. In order to learn how to draw Naruto an understanding of the character will help, because the character itself is very important in all Japanese cartoons.

The Basic Outline!

To draw Naruto you want to start with a basic outline of a face with a circle, cheekbones and chin.

Next, you will want to draw the guidelines for his eyes and other facial features.

Draw a line down the center of the face and an eye line across.

The eyes should be relatively large and anime shape.

Draw them centered on your horizontal line and centered between the side of the head.

The ears should be placed just under the horizontal line and should be slightly large.

The nose is a small curved line, because in the shows his nose is just color shades.

Give Naruto Some Lip and Get Away With it!

The bottom lip should jut out slightly and there should be a small mark between the chin and lip. Now you can begin adding his bandana, collar, eyes with pupils and thickened eyelashes and eyebrows. Naruto’s hair is very clumpy and random, as is most hair in the anime style. The hair droops down behind his head and comes out of the bandana. Finally, draw on the whiskers and his "Leave Village" symbol.

Now you can expand from Naruto!

There are several different characters that you can learn how to draw from Naruto. They will all have a similar basis and you can begin to draw them the same way you would any face of a person or cartoon character. Practice makes perfect and as you perfect the head of the character you can begin to practice on the body as well.
