Pinterest X Facebook Reddit

Nathan Adams, better known as Nate, is the main protagonist of Yo-kai Watch and the face of the entire franchise across games, anime, and movies. This tutorial on how to draw Nathan Adams from Yo-kai Watch covers his classic look, the red star shirt, light-gray cargo pants, brown belt, and red-blue-white sneakers, with the Yo-kai Watch prominently displayed on his left wrist. It’s the version of Nate that most fans will recognize instantly, and getting the watch detail right is one of the more satisfying parts of this drawing.

Nate’s Classic Design in 20 Steps

The tutorial runs across 20 steps in total, ending with the finished colored result. The process works through his spiked cowlick hair, face, clothing layers, and the Yo-kai Watch at a steady pace, with each step adding just enough new detail to stay manageable.

Since Nate and Katie are the two main characters of the series, drawing both of them together makes a natural pair. The Katie Forester tutorial is the obvious companion piece. For Yo-kai from Nate’s roster, Jibanyan and Komasan round out a classic Yo-kai Watch lineup nicely.
