Goku drawing to color: Which version should you choose?
Anyone who’s into Dragon Ball drawings will eventually end up drawing Goku. After all, he is its protagonist, the most frequent and visible character of the saga.
Which version of Goku to color and draw are you looking for? Let's take a look at some of the main drawings so you can decide what to choose:
Goku (Base Form)
The base form of Goku is the easy-to-color Goku by far: it does not have any overly complicated elements; the color combinations are easy to achieve and the strokes are very simple.
Be sure to look for easy-to-draw Goku images of Goku in his base form. This will make everything much more enjoyable if you’re new to drawing.
Great Ape form (Ozaru)
Ozaru is the legendary ape form that all Saiyajins can transform into under certain circumstances. As you can imagine, it is not easy to draw or color, so you should not choose this form if you are just starting out.
The combination of colors, the armor and the small details make it a real challenge for beginners.
Goku Kaioken
This form of Goku is a state of concentration that manifests energy in pink flashes and usually doubles Goku's strength. This is one of the best Goku forms to color and print, especially because it is so colorful and it does not involve the use of different skills.
Goku Super Saiyan
Super Saiyan is Goku's first great form: it multiplies his power several times and modifies the color of his hair. This is a relatively easy Goku to color, that is, identical to Goku in his base form but with yellow hair and green eyes.
Goku dai ni dankai
This form of Goku, an evolution of the Super Saiyan, adds quite a bit of difficulty to the drawing because of Goku’s bulky muscles. It requires a much more dedicated work on the shadows and the way the color is applied, so that the muscles end up having the correct proportion and depth.
Goku Super Saiyan 2
This is the perfect evolution of the base Super Saiyan. You can color it easily because it varies almost nothing from its original form.
Goku Super Saiyan 3
This is an even more powerful evolution than Super Saiyan 2. He has some changes at the aesthetic level: his face becomes more simian and bigger, while his hair grows and becomes voluminous.
It is somewhat more difficult to color and draw but not impossible.
Goku Super Saiyan Pink
This is an alternate form of Goku. It made its first appearance in Dragon Ball Super. His hair and eyes are pink, and although his outfit is the same as the original Goku, it is completely black, which can make his drawing complex to color when it comes to differentiate his shadows and outlines.
Goku Ultra Instinct
Ultra Instinct represents the pinnacle of a Saiyan's ability. When Goku enters this form his hair turns silver. It is the only noticeable change other than the flashes of power he gives off, which is almost impossible to replicate with colors.
This means that it is one of the easiest forms to draw and color besides the base form.
These are some of the top Goku transformations to color. Some are easy-to-draw Goku images and others incorporate some extra details or colors that can make it somewhat challenging to color.
Once you have chosen the one you want, you can look for some inspiration on Pinterest. You can even download the sketches to then color them directly from the app.
Vegeta to color
Vegeta is another of the great Dragon Ball characters, one of the few Saiyan characters we see throughout the saga. He stands out for his hot-tempered character and his rivalry with Goku. If you are looking for Vegeta drawings to color, keep in mind some of his main forms as it will help you to choose the simplest ones:
Vegeta (Base Form)
Unlike Goku, Vegeta's drawings in his base form can be somewhat more complicated, mostly because of his armor, and the shadows of his suit. Plus, he tends to be more muscular, so you will need to take more care of the proportion.
Ozaru
The transformation into Ozaru is iconic and it can be really challenging to draw it, as Vegeta’s Ozaru has an armor above the fur.
Attractive as it may be, it can be quite complicated for a beginner.
Vegeta Super Saiyan
As with Goku, Vegeta's Super Saiyan form is identical to the base form, but the hair color changes to yellow and the eyes take on a green color. Otherwise, there is no difference whatsoever. This makes it a fairly straightforward Vegeta transformation to color.
Free Dragon Ball drawings to color are found everywhere on the Internet, like on Google and Pinterest. If you feel like drawing or coloring your own Dragon Ball sketches, choose step-by-step sketches, or get yourself drawings with simple colors.
Once you are comfortable and used to applying color and making strokes, move on to more complicated forms. Don't worry if it doesn't come out perfect the first time, it is a gradual process. But if you practice consistently, you will surely succeed.
