In this Color Club tutorial, we draw a Daruma doll with bold black lines, marker blends and lots of wonky character.This one is great for playing with shadows, texture and small face details without worrying about getting everything perfect.
In this tutorial, guest artist KDVM shows you how to draw a Daruma doll using a no outline shading technique. It’s a proper challenge, but if you trust the process you’ll end up with something that looks surprisingly solid and 3D.

Proper fast.
It’s based on a John Kelly Green Frankenstein piece—so you’ve got that heavy black, chunky outline doing most of the work, with barely any lines inside. That’s the whole point here: less detail, more impact.
It’s a little bit dark, but the goofy grin keeps it light. ...
This one is based on John Kelly Green’s Bee-u-tiful piece and it’s a really fun mix of bold and soft.
The bug itself has those thick black shapes and heavy outlines that make John’s work so good, but then the wings are much lighter and more transparent. That contrast is what makes this one work.

This one is based on John Kelly Green’s Nicker Bookers piece from One Track Mind week.
It’s a nice easy drawing built from fat black lines, big shapes and loads of character. A good one if you want to loosen up, stop overthinking and just get something on the page.
The big lesson in this tutorial...
