In this tutorial, I will show you how to draw the newer version of D from the sequel to the original "Vampire Hunter D". Begin by drawing a circle for the top part of the head. Next, draw the curved vertical guideline that goes from the top of the head to the chin, making sure to extend it all the way down to where his chin would be. Draw diagonal guidelines tangent to the circles, starting from the bottom of that vertical guideline you just drew. These will help you draw in the lower part of the face. His face is rather long and narrow, so don't make the lower half of the face too small. Draw the guidelines for the eyes, nose and mouth. Notice how close together they are; the eyes are very long and thin, and the nose and mouth are close together.

One thing I noticed when drawing this character is that you don't always see both of his eyes because of the hat. With this particular pose, we can get away with drawing only one eye, which saves you the trouble of having to make sure the second one lines up correctly. Draw his hat, which is very long and should cover up his left eye. Notice that it doesn't sit directly on top of his head; there has to be room for his hair, which we will draw later on. Draw his right eye, nose, mouth, ear, and give the left side of his face more definition so its not just a straight line like we drew in the previous step. All his features are very long and thin, which is more apparent in later steps. Make sure you don't just draw a straight line for his mouth; it should be slightly curved so you can see his lips (don't define them too much, though; the curve is very slight).

Next, start erasing some of the guidelines. Add detail to his eye, and draw the eyelid. Draw his shoulders and armor. His hair is very thick and wavy and should drape over his shoulders and obscure parts of his face. Really try to make the hair look nice and full, it will make quite a difference on your final picture. That thing on his left shoulder is a shoulderpad with a spike; if you could see both his shoulders, there would be an identical one on the other shoulder.
