How To Draw Zenitsu

Reading Zenitsu's letter hit me in a weirdly soft spot — like finding a crumpled note in a jacket pocket that suddenly explains why someone always sits quietly in the corner. I was on my commute, headphones in and half-listening to a podcast, when I skimmed the passage; it brightened the whole ride. What the letter lays bare is his raw humanity. It's not just comic cowardice or melodramatic declarations — it’s this trembling honesty. He admits fear, clings to hope, and confesses things he can’t say out loud, especially his affection and guilt. There’s gratitude toward his friends and this stubborn promise to try, even when his knees shake. That mix of shame and fierce loyalty makes his bravery feel earned rather than performative. After reading it I kept thinking about how 'Demon Slayer' balances humor with heartbreak. Zenitsu becomes more than comic relief; the letter makes him a mirror for anyone who’s scared but keeps going. It’s quietly inspiring, and I found myself smiling and a little teary in public — not the most discreet reaction, but totally worth it.

Ah, Zenitsu from 'Demon Slayer', right? That lightning-fast, sleep-fighting demon slayer! If I recall correctly, he's stated to be around 164.5 cm tall. As a fan, the contrast between his cowardly personality and immense courage when unconscious really fascinating, don't you agree?

Zenitsu's sparrow, which he affectionately names 'Chuntaro', serves a few purposes beyond being a cute companion. For Zenitsu, who often struggles with fear and insecurity, Chuntaro represents comfort and a link to the world outside his anxiety. The sparrow also acts as a symbol of his growth, reminding him to be brave even when he feels uncertain. Plus, their bond highlights Zenitsu's caring nature, showing that beneath all the bravado and cowardice, he has a loving heart that connects with those around him in a unique way. That’s pretty cool, right?

Nope, Zenitsu doesn't marry Nezuko in 'Demon Slayer'. Zenitsu does express a strong affection for her and proposes multiple times, but it's mostly a one-sided crush than a mutual love affair. As per the series end, Nezuko becomes a human again but doesn't marry anyone.

I always start off with a light pencil sketch for the basics, focusing mainly on placements and proportions. From a light bulb shape for the head to straight lines for the orientation of the shoulders, this allows me to build a solid base before diving into the details. Then, I like to add more body features using softer strokes and slowly erase the initial sketch, making necessary corrections along the way. Only then do I start rendering detailed facial expressions and hair, quickly using an eraser or white gel pens for highlights. And finally, for the outfit, I whip up something inspired by my favorite anime characters! Just remember, practice makes perfect. So even if it doesn't come out perfect the first time, keep going!

The note was hidden under his pillow—the little futon pillow at the inn where they were staying. I kept replaying that scene because it felt so small and human: while everyone else was dealing with demons and missions, Zenitsu was nervously tucking away something that mattered to him. The camera lingers just enough for you to notice the fold of paper disappear into the bedding, and knowing Zenitsu, hiding it beneath the pillow fit his shy, awkward energy perfectly. It hit me as a sweet contrast to the chaos around them. That private moment—him slipping the letter under the pillow—says more about his feelings and fears than any big confession scene could. If you’re hunting for it on a rewatch, pause when they settle for the night; you’ll catch his nervous hands and the tiny, telling move toward the pillow. It made me smile and then want to give him a pep talk.

Learn the basics of drawing if it's not already the case: shape, perspective, colors, volumes, etc... Learn anatomy, it's the structure of the human body and you're going to need this a lot, all the time. (try to draw real humans, see what limbs can do, what posture does work and doesn't, etc...) Learn things such as poses, angles, how bodies interact with each others. Don't worry it's less tedious than it sounds, you basically have to draw things to try to understand them. Finally, don't hesitate to use references when you have a specific idea, it's easier to draw when you see the poses than trying to do it from your mind alone.

To draw a blueberry, start by sketching a simple circle for the main body. Add another smaller circle on the top to create the little crown that blueberries have. After that, shade in the body a bit to give it depth. You can use a blue or purple color, depending on how ripe you want it to look. Don't forget to add some highlights on the side to make it shiny and realistic, like it’s covered in a light sheen of morning dew. Keep it simple, and you’ll have a cute blueberry in no time!
