While the JJK manga has already ended, it’s interesting to look back at his process and how Gege was able to get his drawings done using this method, which itself can be utilized by other artists to make their drawing journey easier.

How Gege Uses 3D Models To Draw

Gege Achieves Better Drawings By Using 3D Models

It was recently revealed that Gege Akutami, the mangaka of Jujutsu Kaisen, uses 3D models to assist him in his drawings. He goes through multiple steps, which helps ensure his art looks good.

Firstly, he sketches the characters and backgrounds of the page. This allows him to better conceptualize how the characters will look, and help pick models that would fit.

Even I'm surprised at how furious I get when someone looks down on me!! Like you with your pity!! I can't wait to get payback on your beloved humans! — Sukuna

After his sketch is done, and he is better able to visualize the details of his page, then he moves on to actually adding the 3D models. On top of his sketches, he adds 3D models that help him nail the movement of characters better. With 3D models, he can even move the camera angles to make the ideal poses.

After he adjusts his 3D models the way he wants, he then starts drawing on top of them. Once his drawing is as he likes, then he can ink on top of that. At this point, the 3D models are no longer needed.

In all the heavens and the earth, I alone am the Honored One. — Gojo Satoru

Gege does not only use this for characters, but also for objects, such as weapons used by the characters.

Where to Read and Watch Jujutsu Kaisen

Jujutsu Kaisen has become one of the most popular manga series in the world. Sadly for fans of the series, however, the manga reached its conclusion last year, in late 2024. Fans can read the finished story on Manga Plus.

Fans can look forward to the anime, which is receiving a new season soon. The already existing two seasons can be accessed and watched by fans on Crunchyroll until the next season drops.
