How to Draw Goku From Dragon Ball (Easy Step by Step)
Goku is a fun one to draw because he is built from simple shapes: a round face, a big crown of pointy spikes, and a small body in a karate outfit. This chibi version has a big head and a tiny body, which makes it easy to fit everything on the page. Once you can draw the spiky hair, you can give it to any character.

How to draw Goku from Dragon Ball step by step
How to Draw Goku From Dragon Ball · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Chin and jaw line
Draw a gentle curved line like a smile, bending down in the middle and curling up at both ends. This is the bottom of Goku's face.
Step 2: The spiky hair
Draw a big solid shape of pointy spikes above the chin line, with the tallest spike near the middle. Make the bottom edge bumpy, with little tufts hanging down over the forehead and the sides of the face.
Step 3: Cheeks and mouth
Draw two small round dots for cheeks, side by side in the middle of the face. Between and below them, draw a small open mouth shaped like a little cup.
Step 4: Eyes and collar
Color in the two cheek dots to make them dark eyes. Then, under the chin, draw a curved line out to each side for the shoulders and sleeves, and a short slanted line in the middle for the collar.
Step 5: Belt and jacket
Draw a thick band across the middle of the body with a knot in the center and two ends hanging down. Add a short line from the neck down to the knot for the jacket edge, and curl a small round fist at the end of each sleeve.
Step 6: Sides of the pants
Under the belt, draw a long, slightly wavy line down each side to mark the outer edges of the pants.
Step 7: Shoes
At the bottom of each leg, draw a small rounded shoe shape. Make them wide and flat, with a little gap between the two shoes.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.
