This step-by-step drawing tutorial shows how to create Toji Fushiguro from Jujutsu Kaisen in a clean and dramatic side profile.
The process begins with a simple circle to establish the skull structure. A vertical and angled horizontal guideline are added to define the head tilt and viewing direction. An inner circle is lightly sketched to better understand facial placement and depth, which is especially important for accurate side profiles.
The jawline is then extended downward from the circle into a sharp, well-defined chin, giving Toji his strong and masculine facial structure. Using the angled guideline, the nose is shaped with a sharp bridge and defined tip, followed by slightly parted lips and a firm chin to capture his calm yet intimidating expression.
Next, his layered, medium-length hair is drawn falling naturally over the forehead and partially covering the eye. The ear is positioned along the horizontal guideline for correct anatomy. The hair at the back is slightly extended to show volume and movement.
After completing the head, the neck is drawn strong and slightly forward-leaning, enhancing the intensity of the pose. A loose, high-collar outfit is added to match his rugged appearance.
In the final stage, the outlines are refined and deep pencil shading is applied. The hair is filled with rich, dark tones to create bold contrast, while smooth gradient shading on the face and clothing adds realism and depth. The result is a powerful and dramatic portrait of Toji Fushiguro in side profile, focusing on structure, expression, and strong tonal contrast.
