How to Draw Ninja Gaiden, Ryu Hayabusa

1

Let's begin with a nicely shaped circle for the head, then add the facial guideline. When that is done you can draw out the body, as well as the guides for the arms and hands. He will be in an action pose.

2

Sketch out the oval shape of his face, then draw out the lining for his ninja head mask. Be sure you include the small odd shapes on the side of the head like you see here.

3

You will begin sketching out the detailing to the front part of his head mask. This should come out looking like a plated addition to the ninja gi. Draw the opening on the mask, as well as the eyes, and the crease lines where the nose is.

4

You will now add what seems to be a scarf, but I think it's just the tail ends of the ninja mask wrapped around the neck, then swoops around the head for that action look. Add all the detailing to the material like so, then move along to step five.

5

Now that the head and face is complete, you can begin drawing out the body. He is in a side pose which means his torso will be drawn from the side. Sketch out the nice toned shape of his back, as well as the shoulders, and arms. Of course you will ne   

6

Sketch out the forearms, then begin drawing out the wrist plates which will also cover and protect the tops of his hands. Sketch in all the necessary definition like you see here.

7

Next and lastly, draw out his one visible hand which is in a clawed pose for a move that he is doing. Add detailing to the wrist plates, then you can start cleaning up the drawing by erasing your mistakes.

Here is your Ninja Gaiden start when you are all done. Now it's time to color him in to bring this ninja to life.
