Megumi Fushiguro is one of the easiest Jujutsu Kaisen faces to recognise and one of the most fun to sketch. His calm, serious expression sits under a huge mop of spiky black hair that shoots out in every direction. In this guide you will learn how to draw Megumi Fushiguro face in 8 simple steps, starting with a basic oval and finishing with clean line art of his face, hair and high uniform collar.
Each step adds only a few new lines. The new lines are shown in black and the lines from earlier steps in grey, so you always know exactly what to draw next. Take your time with the hair, because that is what makes him look like Megumi.
Materials Needed
- Paper or a drawing tablet
- A light pencil (HB or 2H) for the guidelines
- A darker pencil (2B) or a fine liner pen for the final lines
- An eraser
- Optional: colored pencils or markers for black hair and green or dark blue eyes
How to Draw Megumi Fushiguro Face: Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Draw the Head Oval and Guidelines
Start with an egg-shaped oval in the middle of your page, a little taller than it is wide, with the narrow end at the bottom. Leave lots of empty space around it, because the hair will later grow to more than twice the width of the head. Draw a vertical center line straight down through the middle of the oval. Then draw a horizontal eye line across the oval at about half its height. Keep these lines light so you can erase them later.
Step 2: Shape the Jaw, Chin and Ears
On each side, start the jaw at the edge of the oval just below the eye line and draw a straight line angling inward toward the center line. Join both lines with a short, flat chin a little below the bottom of the oval. The chin is narrow, about one-sixth of the head width, which gives Megumi a lean, sharp face. Next, add a C-shaped ear on each side. The top of each ear starts at the eye line and the bottom ends a little lower, roughly where the nose will go.
Step 3: Sketch the Spiky Outer Hair Shape
Now draw the outline of his famous spiky hair. Start above the ear on one side and work around the top of the head to the other ear. Make about fifteen long, pointed spikes that point up, out and to the sides, like rays coming from the head. The tips at the top reach roughly half a head-height above the oval, and the side spikes stick out far past the ears, so the whole shape ends up more than twice as wide as the face. Vary the spike lengths a little so it looks messy and natural, and finish the silhouette near the ears.
Step 4: Add the Bangs and Inner Strands
Inside the hair shape, draw pointed bangs that hang over the forehead down to about eyebrow level. Let one longer strand fall between the eyes so its tip ends just below the eye line. Add a few thin, pointed side locks in front of each ear, and two or three small pointed tufts below the ears, next to the jaw line. Finally, add a few short curved strand lines inside the big hair mass to show which way the spikes point.
Step 5: Draw the Eyes and Eyebrows
Place the eyes on the eye line, one on each side of the center line, with a gap between them that is a little smaller than one eye. Each eye is narrow and almond-shaped, and its outer corner lifts slightly upward. Draw a thick, dark upper lid that extends a little past the outer corner, with a few short lashes. Under it, add a round iris that touches the upper lid, a dark pupil in the middle and a thin lower lid line. Above each eye, draw a straight, fairly thick eyebrow that tilts slightly down toward the nose. This low, flat brow gives him his calm, serious look.
Step 6: Add the Nose and Mouth, Then Erase
Draw a small nose a little less than halfway from the eye line to the chin. Two tiny marks are enough: a short angled line for the side of the nose and a small dash for the tip. Below it, just under halfway from the nose to the chin, draw a short, flat mouth line about one-third of the head width, plus a shorter line under it for the lower lip. Megumi rarely smiles, so keep the mouth straight. Now erase the head oval, the center line and the eye line.
Step 7: Draw the Neck, Collar and Shoulders
Draw two straight neck lines down from under the jaw, about three-quarters as wide as the face. Around the neck, add the tall stand-up collar of his school uniform. It wraps around the neck like a band, rises high on both sides and opens at the center front in a narrow V. Finish with two shoulder lines that slope down and out toward the edges of the page, about as wide as the hair.
Step 8: Ink the Final Line Art
Go over all your best lines with a darker pencil or pen. Make the outer hair silhouette, the upper eyelids and the collar slightly bolder, and keep the inner hair strands, nose and lower lip thin. Do not add anything new in this step. Just clean up any leftover sketch lines and your Megumi Fushiguro face is complete.
Key Pro Tips for Drawing Megumi
- Keep the spikes long and pointed. Short or rounded spikes make the hair look soft. Megumi’s hair is wild and sea-urchin-like, so every tip should end in a sharp point.
- Point the spikes in every direction. Some go straight up, some go sideways and some angle down near the ears. This is what makes the silhouette instantly readable.
- Keep the face neutral. A flat mouth and low, straight brows capture his stoic personality better than a big expression.
- Lift the outer eye corners. A slight upward slant and a heavy upper lid give him his sharp, focused look.
- Coloring tip: his hair is black. His eyes are usually shown green in the manga and dark blue in the anime, so pick the version you are drawing from.
- Use a high collar. His dark uniform has a tall stand-up collar, which frames the face and helps people recognise the character even in a head-and-shoulders drawing.
FAQ
Is Megumi Fushiguro hard to draw for beginners?
Not really. His face uses simple shapes, and the hair is mostly repeated spikes. If the hair looks messy at first, sketch the outer silhouette lightly and fix the spike lengths before you ink.
Can I draw his hands doing a shadow technique pose?
Yes. Once the face is done, you can extend the shoulders down and add his hands in front of the chest. Practice the face first so the proportions stay correct.
