Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Draw a Circle for the Head

Draw a medium-sized circle. This is your guide circle for Tanjiro's head. It does not need to be perfect — this is just the foundation that you will build on and adjust.

Step 2: Add the Chin and Face Shape

Below the circle, add a soft pointed chin. Tanjiro has a young, determined face — the chin is rounded but has a clear point. Erase the bottom of the circle and replace it with the chin curve.

Step 3: Draw Cross Guide Lines

Draw a vertical centre line and a horizontal eye line across the face. The eye line is about halfway down the face. These guides help you place the features symmetrically.

Step 4: Draw the Eyes

On the eye line, draw two almond-shaped eyes. Anime eyes have heavy upper lids — draw the top lid as a thick, curved line and the lower lid as a lighter curve. Add the iris and a small round pupil inside each eye.

Step 5: Draw the Forehead Scar

Above Tanjiro's right eyebrow, draw his burgundy forehead scar — a small, irregular jagged shape that looks like a birthmark or healed wound. Keep it small and slightly irregular in shape.

Step 6: Draw the Nose, Mouth, and Ears

Add a small button nose (a tiny triangle or two dots) on the centre line below the eyes. Draw a simple curved mouth below the nose. Add small ears on the sides of the head, with hanafuda earrings hanging from each ear.

Step 7: Draw Tanjiro's Hair

Draw his dark, layered hair swept upward in thick chunks. Tanjiro's hair has a dark burgundy-black colour and is styled with a side part. The hair sweeps back and slightly to one side. Add a small clip or pin detail in the hair.

Step 8: Draw the Haori Collar

Below the head, draw the start of Tanjiro's iconic checkered haori — the collar folds open in a V, revealing the dark uniform underneath. Begin the checkered pattern (alternating black and green squares) on the collar section.

Adding Colour

Hair: dark burgundy-black. Scar: red-burgundy. Eyes: dark with warm highlights. Haori collar: alternating black and dark green squares. Earrings: red lower disc, white upper disc. Skin: warm peach.

Tips from Parikshet

  • Use the cross guide lines for every anime face drawing — they are the secret to getting all the features in the right place.
  • Tanjiro's forehead scar is small — a common mistake is making it too large. Keep it subtle.
  • The checkered haori pattern does not need to be perfectly uniform — slightly uneven squares actually look more natural and hand-drawn.
