How to Draw Jiraiya

1. Begin the Jiraiya outline by drawing the eyes. Use thick lines to draw the anime eyes with their rectangular shape.

Use curved lines to draw the bridge of the nose and the nostrils, and to contour around the eyes.

2. Use curved lines to enclose the rectangular mouth.

Use additional curved lines to contour around the mouth and to enclose a mole beside the nose. Draw checkmark-shaped lines to begin the hair at the sides of the face.

3. Use curved lines to enclose the headband across the forehead and the chin between the locks of hair. Draw small circles to form fasteners on the headband. Draw lines between the eyes and sides of the face.

4. Use thick lines to draw the Japanese characters on the headband. Use curved lines to enclose the eyebrows, partially visible below the headband.

Then, use a series of long and short curved lines that meet at jagged points to draw the hair.

5. Use straight lines that meet at points to draw the sunburst pattern of the hair on top of the head. Then, extend lines from each side of the hair to form the shoulders.

6. Continue drawing the jagged hair to reach the shoulders. Then, extend curved lines down from the edges of the vest.

7. Use a series of overlapping curved lines to draw the "Y" and "V" shapes of the tunic front and neck.

8. Detail the garments. Draw large ovals on the vest. Draw a curved line parallel to the neck of the garment and draw curved lines in a checkerboard pattern below it. Contour the neck with curved lines.

9. Use curved lines to enclose the arms on each side of the vest.

Your Jiraiya outline is now complete. Color your cartoon character. He has white hair, a metallic headband, and red, yellow, and green garments.
