STYLE STUDY - Nicholas Cole (Patreon)

Came across this sketch posted by Nick. I’m a fan of his character designs and I wanted to figure out how he constructs his drawings. Doing this reeeaaally quick drawover I noticed his use of small details and shapes that makes the whole character pop. The little toe nubs of the cauldron, that small apron tie, the bands, etc just push the design forward.

It’s interesting how he breaks down his larger forms into smaller ones that makes the character look appealing and full of story.
