Draw Nate’s Grandfather: Young Nathaniel Adams Yo-kai Watch 2

Pinterest X Facebook Reddit

Nathaniel Adams is Nate’s grandfather as he appeared 60 years in the past in Yo-kai Watch 2 and the movie, and his design shares the same cowlick hair as his grandson but with a completely different outfit. This tutorial on how to draw Nathaniel Adams from Yo-kai Watch captures his young look, with the white tank top, blue cape, beige shorts, wooden geta sandals, and the orange pouch necklace. The bamboo sprig he carries adds an extra detail that makes this version of the character particularly distinct.

Drawing Young Nathaniel Adams in 23 Steps

The full tutorial spans 23 steps, with the final one showing the completed colored result. The process works through his hair, face, layered outfit, accessories, and the bamboo sprig in a clear sequence that builds naturally from step to step.

Nathaniel’s Young Appearance at a Glance

Brown hair with single large cowlick spike
Blue cape draped over shoulders
White sleeveless tank top
Orange pouch necklace on chest
Beige drawstring shorts
Wooden two-teeth geta sandals

Since Nathaniel looks so much like Nate, drawing both of them side by side is a great way to show the family resemblance. The Nate in his classic red shirt makes an obvious companion piece, and Katie Forester rounds out the main human cast nicely. For a Yo-kai to pair with him, Hovernyan has a direct connection to his story.

Color Coding in Each Step
