How to Draw Future Trunks from Dragonball Z
Front View
Step 1:
From what I have seen, most Dragonball Z
characters can be drawn using these basic shapes and
proportions. Dragonball Z characters all have
similarly constructed faces: they have large
foreheads, slanted, triangular eyes, and small lower
faces. Once you see how the basic face is
proportioned, you should be able to draw whichever
character you like.
Begin by drawing a large, slightly elongated circle
for the forehead. Draw the lower half of the face and
divide it up with lightly drawn guidlines as shown.
Notice that the lower half of his face can be divided
up into equal sections; the main horizontal
guidelines are equidistant from each other. Draw the
slanted guidelines for the eyes, and sketch the
position of the mouth (which should be directly
below the guideline for the nose).
Step 2:
Erase some of the unnecessary guidelines.
Draw the outline of the eyes, (which should
be thin and triangular), as well as the outline
of the ears and neck.

Step 3:
Sketch the outline of his hair. The hair
should be very large and rounded, more so if
his head is tilted forward. Add more detail to
his eyes. When drawing his eyebrows, make
sure they rest directly above his eyes. Draw
the nose and mouth next, making them very
small and close together.
Step 4:
Next, erase all the guidelines. Add the detail
to his hair; with Dragonball Z characters, the
more detail, the better, so don't be stingy.
Make the lines on his hair as smooth and
rounded as you can; make them follow the
flow of the hair, rather than drawing them
straight down. Draw the shading lines under
his eyes and mouth, and add detail to his
ears. Draw his clothing, his sword, and the
muscles around the neck. Erase any
unwanted lines and clean up your sketch.
Step 5:
Take your final sketch and color or shade it
however you like.
