SANEMI SHINAZUGAWA

Sanemi shinazugawa is the main supporting character in the movie demon Slayer, servings as a demon Slayer Corp during the Taisho era. He is depicted to be a tall, muscular man with spiky ruffled white hair. Two large bangs features on his face, left and middle. Others on his body. He's scars resulted from combats he has performed in the passed slaying demons.

He is often seen to wear a crazed expression on his face and this is a result of to many people he has loss in the pass, including his mother. In that aspect he is thirst for battles and love slaying demons wishing he could meet top rank demons to boost his strength even more.

Alright, a bit of a glance of what our character is all about, let get to the drawing part and make it happen.

Drawing

They're a series of step to carry out to Obtain the desire results but first we are going to get our requirements.

• Pencil ✏️ 2B and 4B
• Ruler 📏
• Eraser
• A4 sheet

With all the necessary tools available, let get to the drawing part. Below are a series of steps to follow in order to produce a good design..

Steps to follow.

1. Marking out.

First thing is to picture your drawing in mind or screen or where whatever source u are drawing from. After which you can then picture out the dimensions of your drawing and the average size you wish to put on paper.

For this exercise, I carried out marking with dimensions, 18 × 7 cm to occupied a good portion of my A4 sheet. From there, I proceed to map out the average shape of the drawing taking not of special features like the eyes weist line and lateral inversion.

After carefully making out these features, I was able to picture something like on the paper below

2. Starting point

Where to start drawing is always a problem to many including me at times but through these lessons I'm get more ideas on how to start and also to apply specific features.

I choose to begin with the hair after clearing measuring the the face size and know exactly the center. From here I draw a sphere from which I was able to produce spiky hair from.

3. Facial. Adding details

Moving on to next, I continue to add the rest of the facial features, eyes, mouth, ears, nose. By the time I'm done, I was able to achieve this below.

4. Body

Done with the face. I use my guidelines to continue with the body. Not quite an easy task for this character as there are special features which must be detailed to depict the character in rear time , such as the scares, muscles and uniform. With unanimous amount of time and effort I was able to complete part of this and seen below.

5. Body continue.

This part turns out to be more tedious than I imagined. So much details to look out for, however with my guidelines in place, I proceed by using breaking line to map out much detail on the down part of the body and when it exact, I proceed to do the actual drawing.

As we can see the uniform is not that an easy task to produce, much time and effort need to be put on place to obtain.our desire results. How ever I use my possible creativity to complete this task.

6. Shading and ameliorations

Design is complete and now time to shade. For this exercise,.I use the 2B and 4B pencil, 2B for light shading and 4B for deep color shading. Carefully crafting the design to my taste, I make sure all features are well preserve. Equally I made to change to the lines on the costume, trouser and part of the face to make it look much as I wanted.

The hair remains slightly shaded to depict the with color her of this character.and the part of the hair shared represents the brown section of his hair as casted in the movie.
