How to Draw Byakugan

Last Updated: September 2, 2021

Byakugan is a Doujutsu in the series Naruto. This means "white eye", and gives the person a near 360 degree seeing radius. This also lets them zero in on objects and even see the flow of chakra in the chakra circulatory system. Only members of the Hyuga (Hyuuga) clan can use this ability, like the characters Neji and Hinata.

Steps

1
Draw a Hyuga eye. A Hyuga eye typically has a longish, slightly curved line on top (higher in the middle), and a shorter, slightly curved line on the bottom (lower in the middle).
2
Draw the iris. This is usually large, and fills most of the eye. Draw a circle between the top and bottom lines that make up the eye, but don't draw it beyond the eye. It should look like two short vertical convex lines, like an incomplete circle, between the top and bottom eye lines.

3
Draw the pupil. Draw a small circle in the middle which should be centered. Make the line dashed, and don't fill in the pupil. Members of the Hyuga clan lack pupils normally, and when they use their Byakugan, it shows up only very faintly.
4
Draw a circle around the "pupil". It's diameter should be in the middle of the iris' diameter and the pupil's diameter. The circle should be made up of very thin, very short lines fanning outward from the pupil.
5
Draw some bulging veins in the temples around the eyes. Draw these as pairs of parallel thin, squiggly lines that generally extend from the eye. Make them branch out like veins, too.

Draw what you would like lightly on the paper with pen or pencil, then trace over top with the Sharpie.

What do I use to draw a perfect circle? Also, is it better to use a photo reference or to memorize the photo?

Perhaps consider purchasing a drawing compass, or trace a round object that is a similar size to the circle you desire (for example, you may trace a penny for a pupil), to achieve the appearance of a perfect circle. As for your second question, there really is no wrong or right way. You could have a photo reference on-hand if you're trying to copy the photo. However, if you are simply basing your sketch off another, memorize the photo. Whichever works best for you.
