How to draw Pein


Pein, aka Nagato is the strongest member of the Akatsuki. He exists as six different bodies which share the same mind, known collectively as the Six Paths of Pein.


This is a mid shot of the Deva path of Pein.


I have done the guidelines for this drawing using light grey pencil. I started by drawing an oval for the head. Next I did guidelines for his headband and hair. Deva's face is angled downwards, so I've done the guidelines for the eyes nose and mouth with downward curves. His cloak has a stiff upright collar and falls straight down off his shoulders.


I put in details using black pencil. He has spikey hair alot like Naruto's. He also has a lot of piercings -alongside his nose, under his lower lip and in his ear.


After erasing the guidelines with white pencil, I coloured the drawing with transparent colours using the paint bucket tool. To do the shading on his black coat, I used a dark reddish brown to match the dark red that shows on the inside of his collar.

I filled the background with a solid bright red, goes well with his red and black cloak and makes a strong drawing.
