Sailor Moon is an anime meta-series that tells the story of the protectors of an ancient kingdom - beautiful warrior girls. But this metaseries is not without a male character. He is Tuxedo Mask - the warrior of the Earth. He is the male version of the Sailor Warrior.

According to the planned scenario, he should wear a mask. It allows you to hide your true nature. Thanks to this mystery, Tuxedo Mask can confuse enemy plans and provide various assistance to warriors. This character consists of human strengths and is an ideal man. Therefore, it is not surprising that he has become a fairly popular role model.

Tuxedo Mask Costume

Like any other hero, the Earth warrior has his own unique costume. The basis of the outfit of this hero is a black trouser suit, a white shirt and a white vest. In addition, this hero wears a tall bowler hat, a white bow tie, and white gloves.

The highlight of the image is a narrow mask that covers the eyes, which is also made in white. A cane and a scarlet rose are considered an obligatory attribute of this character. It's like his calling card. And to complete the image, it remains to add a red and black robe. To get used to the role of Tuxedo Mask, quotes from the work will help much faster. In addition, this suit is suitable for people of different ages.

How to draw Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask

If the Earth warrior is the main male character, then the main female character is, of course, Sailor Moon, whose real name is Usagi Tsukino. This is an ordinary student who goes to school and has no worries. But at the same time, she is able to turn into the leader of the female warriors. This image is one of the most popular in its genre and has been used more than once by the authors of other works. To draw any hero of a popular metaseries, the same basic techniques are used. After all, in fact, the basis of implementation is the same, and the differences are only in the direction and details. Below we will look at how to draw Tuxedo Mask, and also analyze an example of drawing a female image. In each case, the basics will be considered, as well as the elaboration of details, which, by the way, are also quite a few.

Draw the head of an Earth warrior

First you need to outline the circumference of the head, determine its slope and draw guide lines for the shoulders and torso. Let's start drawing with a hat. To do this, draw a cylinder.

It looks a bit like a glass,standing on a saucer. Determine its height and outline the bottom of the top hat using a narrow oval. Part of the line that outlines the bottom of the hat must be erased. Then draw a stripe at the bottom and, using a larger oval, define the brim of the hat. The fields of the cylinder should be wider than itself, but not much, and cover a third of the intended face. On the side of the hat, draw a rose, which, according to the idea, Tuxedo will hold in his hand. It is important to consider the location of the flower here. It should be such that we can then easily extend its stem into the hand. Further we draw an oval of the person and the hair which is knocked out from under the cylinder. Mark out the face. Determine the approximate location of the mouth and nose. Now you can draw the mask and then the nose and mouth. By the way, both the mouth and the nose are depicted rather schematically. In the form of slightly visible arcs.

Drawing a hand

Our Tuxedo Mask got his face. Now we can start drawing the body. We determine the length of the neck, draw the collar, shoulders, sleeve and cuffs. Let's not forget the buttons. Mark a hand near the head, do not forget that two fingers should be extended, and the rose drawn earlier should fit perfectly in this hand. Extend the stem of the previously drawn rose in such a way that it is located in the hand and is slightly visible below. After all the outline work is done, draw the hand and remove any outline or erroneous lines.

Draw a costume

Let's start drawing the shirt. Designate groups of lines on one side and the other. These lines mimic the stitching of a shirt. Draw a bow tie between them. Remove plannerslines.

Now draw the rest of the torso. Determine the curve of the back. After the torso is drawn, draw a cloak from the protruding point of the shoulder down. Do not forget to depict the lapel of the cloak, as well as the remaining buttons on the suit on the other side. We have practically made out how to draw Tuxedo Mask. It remains only to finish the hand wound behind the back and part of the cloak on the other side. Examine the entire drawing and direct all the necessary lines, and delete all erroneous or basting ones. Now the drawing can be left as it is, or you can add colors to it.

Drawing a female character. Head

In the metaseries "Sailor Moon" Tuxedo Mask is a male image, but the main part of the characters are female warriors. Let's analyze the image of a female image using the example of Sailor Moon or Usagi Tsukino.

Start with an oval shape. This form does not have to be perfect. It will be the base of the head. Draw two guide lines for the neck and shoulders. Now divide the oval with two lines that intersect at right angles. These lines will help to place the elements of the face correctly. Draw two circles located on a horizontal line. These are places for future eyes. Don't forget about perspective. The circle on the right should be somewhat smaller and narrower. On the left side of the face and under the horizontal line, draw the base for the mouth.

It should have a somewhat horseshoe shape. Nowdraw the ear on the left side. The base of the face is ready. Hover again all the final lines and erase all auxiliary elements. Draw the eyes and on the right side of the vertical line draw an element that looks like a "tick". This will be the nose. Draw an ear and an earring in the form of a crescent.

Drawing a hairstyle

Sailor Moon's hair is somewhat more complicated than Tuxedo Mask's. And it consists of several stages. First, bangs are drawn using several arcs and curved lines that should overlap the eyebrows. Now draw the back of the head. We depict it using a curved line that originates from the left side of the ear and ends where the bangs begin.

It's also worth adding some slanting lines above the ear. On top of the head there are two ornaments that look like a circle. Hair is wrapped around them. The hairstyle itself is called "Odango". To complete the hairstyle, draw pigtails, which are also its continuation. To do this, draw long lines on the left, and shorter ones on the right. Since the right part of the pigtail will be closed by the face. The lines should also be curved.

Painting decorations

Warrior girls have a lot of different jewelry. Sailor Moon has a tiara on her forehead. To depict it, draw some v-shaped lines. They will form the main part of the decoration. Now add a couple of ovals to the center to imitate a gem. Draw two curved lines on the neck. This will represent Sailor Moon's necklace. Between these lines it is necessary to placeinverted crescent. The earring looks like three small circles with a crescent at the end. Define the line of the shoulders and draw the v-shaped neckline. This will complete the black and white version of the drawing.

That's it. The drawings are complete. To make them look more impressive, circle all the lines with a thin marker or black pen. Wait a little while the ink dries, and use the eraser to get rid of the pencil completely. You can stop at this stage. But you can go further and completely complete the work by decorating the drawings with felt-tip pens, pencils or even paints. The colors of Tuxedo Mask's costume we reviewed earlier. As for Sailor Moon, her hair is depicted as yellow because she is blonde. Although initially the author conceived this heroine with pink hair. The stones in the jewelry and the necklace are red, while the eyes and clothes are blue. The contours of the jewelry and the tiara are dark yellow. This color should imitate gold. At the end of the staining, your drawings will have an absolutely complete look. Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask and other characters in this story can be drawn in a similar way.
