This tutorial shows you how to draw a fun, cartoon-style character using black marker pens. The artwork features a shady-looking figure in a trench coat and fedora, opening one side of the coat to reveal a cute little cat inside. The style leans heavily on bold, solid black fills with clean white spaces left to form details like the face, buttons, stripes, and the cat itself.
It teaches:
-
How to use solid black fills for maximum contrast.
-
Clever use of negative space (white areas left uncolored) to create faces, clothing details, and the cat.
-
Simple but effective character design with exaggerated shapes (sharp hat, long coat, tiny legs).
The end result is a playful mix of a classic "mystery man" trope and a surprise cute twist.
