In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to draw Knives Chau from Scott Pilgrim Takes Off in 18 steps. Her look in the anime adaptation is simple but sharp, combining a casual outfit with clean lines. I’d say this one is medium in complexity because of the proportions and outfit details, but it’s straightforward once you break it down step by step.
Main Features of Knives Chau
- Hair: Dark, tied at the back with short bangs in front.
- Face: Round with large black eyes, earrings, and a small mouth.
- Top: Black t-shirt with a yellow lightning bolt symbol.
- Skirt: Short, black skirt layered beneath the t-shirt.
- Legs: Slim, wearing purple leggings.
- Footwear: Black lace-up boots.
- Accessories: Bracelets on both wrists and a choker necklace.
For more characters from the same universe, you might also enjoy drawing Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers.
