Soul Eater built its cast on loud, unpredictable energy, and Patty Thompson fits that mold perfectly as Death the Kid’s pistol partner with a personality that swings between playful and ruthless. This step-by-step tutorial on how to draw Patty Thompson walks through her full-body line art alongside the rest of the Soul Eater character guides on the site.
What This 36-Step Drawing Covers
The tutorial runs 36 steps and ends on clean line art with no color, so the whole focus stays on getting the shapes and proportions right. Patty stands upright with her hands open at her sides, which keeps the pose balanced but requires careful attention to how the hat, hair, and clothing stack up vertically. The witch-style hat with its pointed tip adds height above the head, and the layered outfit below means there are several distinct clothing elements to work through before the drawing feels complete.
Patty Thompson’s Key Design Features
- Short hair with pointed elf ears visible
- Witch-style hat with a pointed tip
- Crop top halter with small tie detail
- Puffy shorts, belt, and knee-high boots
- Relaxed standing pose, hands open at sides
If you are working through the Soul Eater roster, Liz Thompson is a natural companion piece since the two sisters share a lot of design DNA. For something with a heavier silhouette from the same cast, the Black Star guide and the walkthrough for Tsubaki Nakatsukasa are both worth trying back to back.
Understanding the Color Coding in the Step Images
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new and what is already done:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
