How to Draw Carapace: Draw Nino’s Hero Form from Ladybug

This tutorial shows how to draw Carapace from Miraculous Ladybug, the turtle superhero who protects Paris alongside Ladybug and Cat Noir. Carapace is Nino Lahiffe’s heroic alter ego, wielding the Turtle Miraculous that grants him protective shield powers. His suit design combines turtle shell elements with a modern superhero look that stands out among the Miraculous team.

Sketching Carapace Step by Step

This guide contains 12 steps that walk you through drawing Carapace in his full hero suit, from his hooded mask down to his boots.

Carapace’s Appearance

  • Hood covering the head with rounded edges
  • Black mask across the eyes
  • Confident smirk expression
  • Turtle shell pattern on the chest
  • Diamond-shaped designs on the torso
  • Shoulder pads with armor segments
  • Elbow and knee pad details
