How to Draw Akatsuki
I have been doing a lot of Naruto characters lately, and I think its because they have been requested an awful lot. Of course I never mind drawing lessons on how to draw Naruto characters because Naruto is one of my favorite shows. Since I have been sketching a bunch of character from the anime series, I have been getting into more of the story line and it has been getting really good. I wanted to do a tutorial on a group of characters that make up one cult. I will be giving you a lesson on “how to draw Akatsuki step by step”. As many of you Naruto fans know, the Akatsuki is an organization that is criminal to the core. They are a group of S-Class missing-nins, and they are also one of Naruto's most wanted group in the shinobi world. The whole goal of the Akatsuki, is to obtain world domination and the only way to do that is to collect all of the tailed beast. The organization didn't really start taking off until part two of the Naruto series. They were only seen as a minor group in part one, but during part two they where THE main bad guys of the series. They have to collect a total of nine tails from nine different beasts. All the members in the organization work in teams of two, all except Zetsu. Zetsu is the organizations spy which means he travels alone most of the time. As of chapter 317, the Akatsuki line up is as follows; Zetsu, Deidara, Kakuzu, Madara Uchiha, Hidan, Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, Konan, Pain, and Sasori. Like I just said previously, the team works in two's. The list of teams are; Kakuzu and Hidan, Pain and Konan, Sasori and Deidara, Itachi and Kisame, and of course Zetsu works on his own because he is the spy. A previous member of the Akatsuki was Orochimaru. Now all of this may seem well and good, but the most important thing about the Akatsuki is the Akatsuki Rings. There is ten rings in total, and all ten of the rings are given to each member of the Akatsuki. Now, each ring represents the position or rank of each member, and not one member is assigned a ring on the same finger as the other. The right thumb is worn by Pain, the right index finger is worn by Deidara, the right middle finger is worn by Konan, right ring finger is worn by Itachi, right little finger is worn by Orochimaru but he took off with the ring and no one knows of his where a bouts. Next the left ring finger is worn by Kisame, left middle finger is worn by Kakuzu, left index finger worn by Hidan, and left thumb is worn by Sasori at first and then later by Tobi. There is so much more to this Naruto organization and I wish that I could keep rambling on about it. Unfortunately though I can not because I still have much work to do. For now you will learn how to draw Akatsuki step by step”. I know you guys will have fun with this tutorial, so draw your little hearts out. Peace peeps!

STEP 1.
Start this step by drawing a series of eleven circle shapes for all eleven of the Akatsuki. Once the shapes are drawn out you can then add the facial guidelines. The only shape you will not make into a circle is Zetsu, for him you will draw a heart like shape.
STEP 2.
Now you will sketch out the shapes of all their face as you see here and please be sure to take your time so that the organization comes out looking good. Next, start sketching out their hair styles as you see here. For the last character head to the right all you need to do is draw swirl lines for the face. For Zetsu draw the mouth to his plant like head attachment.
STEP 3.
You will now start sketching in all eyes, eyeballs, noses and mouths. Once completed you can sketch in more of the hair styles that you see here and then draw the teeth on Zetsu in more detail. As you can see each member of the Akatsuki looks different from one and other.
STEP 4.
Sketch out some of the remaining hair styles on some of the characters that you see here. Once that is done you can then start sketching out some detail and definition, as well as draw the collars of their Akatsuki cloaks that all of these members wear.
STEP 5.
This is your last drawing step and all you have to do is finish drawing out the collars, and then add the detailing and definition to them all. Be sure that you draw the forehead protectors on the characters that wear them. Erase all the guidelines and shapes that you drew in step one.
STEP 6.
Here you have it, the finished lesson on how to draw Akatsuki step by step. Color them all in and you have just drawn the whole clan. Great job!Comments: Post Comment
