Let’s learn how to draw Mysta Rias from NIJISANJI EN’s 4th wave today!
Mysta Rias (ミスタ・リアス) is a male English Virtual YouTuber affiliated with NIJISANJI EN’s fourth-wave, known as “Luxiem”. He was the fourth of the group to debut. Mysta is a detective from the past known for cracking some of the country’s most difficult cases. He was transported to the present day by a mysterious force.
Mysta is known for his eccentric nature, characterized by his loud and outspoken way of speaking, humorous and bizarre personality, and proneness to swearing. As a natural-born genius, he solved countless mysteries with his keen deduction skills. However, he doesn’t have knowledge on certain common knowledge.Despite that, Mysta also has a sense of maturity, being able to straightforwardly discuss serious topics and addresses them when needed.
Mysta’s fans are called “Mystakes”, a portmanteau of “Mysta” and “mistakes”. He likes Magnum ice, sleeping, mysteries, rhythm games, rom-com anime/manga, katsu curry (mild). Mysta is notorious for his unusual and questionable experiences and decisions in cooking and food in general.
Step 1
As always all the blue and green lines are just construction lines and will be erased later so do not push on your pencil too much ^_^ I will try to be super efficient with the text so will only describe steps that require some explanation.
Make sure to leave enough free space on paper for next steps. You can see how much space you will need from the size of the paper on this picture.

Step 9
Lighten all the construction lines by “stamping” the kneaded eraser on the paper. Make sure to refer to the picture bellow as you need to ink only some parts of the construction lines.
Step 10
Wait till the ink is nice and dry and erase all the construction lines.
Step 11
To add colors, make sure to sketch the color outlines with the right color or pencil first.
If your goal is to become a real Mangaka and design your own manga characters make sure to try to draw Mysta Rias from memory several times. Always compare the drawing to the original and correct any mistakes you see. Do this till you are happy with the result. It doesn’t have to look exactly the same, don’t sweat the details. The point is that you get the main shapes right and that it looks good. This is the best way to build a huge library of manga shapes in your memory that you can use to draw and design your own manga characters ^-^.
Draw with passion! ^_^
