Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sketching the Face Shape

Pencil sketch of Goku's jawline and chin structure on a white background.

Lightly outline Goku’s face using a long, curved line. Tip: Focus on the chin and cheekbones; keep your pencil pressure soft so you can easily adjust the shape later.

Step 2: Adding the Ears

Goku's head outline with ears added on both sides.

Draw a 'C' shaped curve on each side of the head to form the ears. Add a small, irregular shape inside each to represent the inner ear structure.

Step 3: Defining the Neck and Shoulders

Drawing the neck and shoulder muscles of Goku with gi collar details.

Extend two curved lines downward for the neck. Add overlapping curves at the base to suggest powerful shoulder muscles. Tip: Use a 'V' shape at the center of the neck to define the collar of his gi.

Step 4: Sketching the Eyes and Brows

Detailed sketch of Goku's intense eyes and furrowed eyebrows.

Draw the rectangular, angled eyes and sharp eyebrows. Add a semicircular pupil inside each eye. Tip: Use a 'W' shape between the eyes to show his intense, focused expression.

Step 5: Drawing the Nose

Use five short, straight lines to create a small double-triangle shape for the nose. Keep it minimal to maintain the anime style.

Step 6: Adding the Mouth

Goku's face with the mouth and lips added.

Add two short, curved lines to define the mouth and lower lip. This gives him a serious, determined look.

Step 7: Starting the Hair

Beginning the outline of Goku's spiky Ultra Instinct hair.

Begin the iconic spiky hair by drawing pairs of curved lines that meet at sharp points. Erase any overlapping lines from the head shape underneath.

Step 8: Adding More Hair Spikes

Adding additional hair spikes to the top of Goku's head.

Continue adding more locks of hair standing on end. Use long, sweeping curved lines that meet at gentle points to create volume.

Step 9: Completing the Hair Outline
