Welcome to this tutorial! If you’re interested in creating your own artwork of the Gauntlet Hero from the Rising of the Shield Hero series, then you’re in the right spot. Here’s a simple, no-fuss guide on how to draw Fohl to add to your portfolio of anime character art.
Fohl Appearance and Traits
- Consider Fohl’s age and build — he may look young, but his appearance is complex due to his half-human, half-Hakuko lineage.
- His hair is distinct with black and white stripes, so take your time to get this unique pattern right.
- Don’t forget the roundish cat ears and the striped tail, which are essential to his demi-human heritage.
- Blue, vertically-striped irises surrounded by intimidating whites are a must to capture his wild nature.
- Link to characters such as his sister Alta, or even Sadeena, Ren Amaki and Raphtalia for those interested in exploring more of the Shield Hero universe.
Navigating the Fohl Drawing Guide
This guide unfolds with a set of images, each depicting a step in the drawing process of Fohl. As you progress from one step to the next, you’ll see Fohl’s character take shape.
- Red Color: marks the specific details you are adding in the current step.
- Black Color: outlines the cumulative lines from previous steps, giving structure to your drawing.
- Grey Color: indicates the initial sketch lines, which are your drawing’s foundation.
The guide consists of 23 steps, beginning with the basic sketch and ending with the inking process. Inking brings out the life in your Fohl drawing, and it’s essential to allow the ink to dry to prevent smearing. Once the ink has settled, carefully erase the preliminary sketch to reveal a clean, final piece.
