If you’ve ever wanted to bring Hello Kitty’s boyfriend to life on paper, this 11 step tutorial on how to draw Dear Daniel will show you how. With his spiky hair and classic outfit, Daniel is one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.
Main Features of Dear Daniel
- Head: White cat face with no mouth and a set of short, spiky bangs.
- Body: Simple rounded form, similar to Hello Kitty’s design.
- Outfit: Cyan-blue overalls paired with a green shirt, though he is sometimes seen in more formal attire.
- Details: White buttons on his outfit, small oval eyes, and a yellow oval nose.
If you enjoy drawing Dear Daniel, you might also want to try sketching Hello Kitty herself, along with other Sanrio characters like Kuromi and Mimmy, since their styles complement one another perfectly.
