The travelling minstrel saved from the riverbank gets his turn on the site, and how to draw Custas as a full standing figure is what this lesson sets out to cover. Getting the young performer from Witch Hat Atelier onto paper begins with fixing his proportions before any of the tunic and wrapped-leg detailing comes into play.
Taking the Young Minstrel from Frame to Figure
This walkthrough moves through 20 stages and ends on a fully colored figure you can hold onto as a reference for his cream and brown palette. The early work blocks the head, torso, and leg structure, then the tunic, belt, shoulder strap, wrapped shin, and shoes get added one piece at a time once the base reads right.
Design Details to Track
- Long messy dark hair
- Cream tunic with studded belt
- Brown fitted pants
- White wrapping down the shins
- Rounded dark slip-on shoes
His fellow apprentice from the same atelier is already up, so you can set him beside Agott once both figures are done. More faces from the series will join this section as they go live.
Reading the Line Colors
Every stage leans on a basic color key so the newest marks always stand out from the lines already down on the page:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.

Post Your Custas in the Comments
Small note before you go: a way to attach your finished art right inside the comment box is being built, so by the time you wrap up how to draw Custas, that upload field may already be there for you to test. Every new lesson reaches Facebook and Telegram the moment it publishes here, a fresh YouTube video posts daily built from guides already on the site, and Pinterest keeps gaining new pins worth saving. Drop your version in the comments and tell me which Witch Hat Atelier face should come next, and if you would like to back the work behind these lessons, my Patreon stocks hand drawn coloring pages for supporters.
