This tutorial explains how to draw Nino Lahiffe from Miraculous Ladybug, Adrien’s best friend and the aspiring DJ who later becomes the hero Carapace. Nino brings a laid-back energy to the show with his passion for music and filmmaking. His casual style with the signature cap and headphones makes him easy to recognize among the Miraculous cast.
Sketching Nino Lahiffe
This guide walks through 10 steps, building Nino from basic shapes to his full body in a relaxed pose with one hand adjusting his cap.
Nino’s Appearance Details
- Red cap worn backwards on his head
- Round glasses with thick frames
- Friendly smile and relaxed expression
- Headphones resting around his neck
- Short-sleeved blue t-shirt
- One hand raised touching his cap
- Other hand in pocket
- Jeans with simple design
- Sneakers with casual style
Nino’s look centers around his DJ accessories and relaxed posture. After drawing his civilian form, check out the Carapace tutorial to sketch his superhero identity. The Adrien Agreste guide pairs naturally since they are best friends, and Alya Cesaire makes sense as another civilian character to practice.
