How to Create Your Own Sentai Hero

Japanese animation has become a popular source of entertainment. Among the wide number of genres that have developed through the years, the Sentai hero has persisted. A Sentai (Japanese for "task force") hero is a man or woman with special powers who tends to work in a group in which all of his peers share similar characteristics. A clear example of this is the Power Rangers saga. A Sentai hero is very different from a Kyodai or a Shonen hero, and needs to follow certain patterns.

Instructions

    • 1

      Create a background. A Sentai hero has a different background from any other stereotype. His traits must be the ones of a leader, or someone who could have a fellowship with his/her peers.

    • 2

      Start drawing the body. For the body, you can use a normal male or female body structure.

    • 3

      Design trendy and colorful clothes. Sentai heroes (since they are almost always in a group), tend to have a uniform.

    • 4

      Draw your Sentai hero's peers. They can have the same anatomy, but with different uniform color.

    • 5

      Scan the drawing.

    • 6

      Use any illustrating program, such as Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or Illustrator to sharpen the line art and smooth the rough lines.
