How to draw Lily Lovebraids: a six-step fan exercise

For canonical design details, start with Mob’s official character image and description. The picture below is our existing AI-assisted cute-toy interpretation: it changes clothing, proportions and accessories. Use it for the exercise only, not as proof of the game model.

Pick one reference for the first pass. Mixing a dark gameplay frame with an anime concept can make proportions contradictory. Draw lightly until the silhouette is readable.

1. Block the head, small torso, skirt and shoes as simple shapes. Leave room beside the body for both braids before adding facial details.

2. Draw one continuous outer path for each braid. Compare their length and spacing against the torso. Keep the same overall scale rather than filling the page with hair too early.

3. Add a second contour to give each braid thickness. Divide the contour into a repeated interlocking rhythm; start with a few large segments, then refine them. Avoid drawing individual hairs before the larger overlaps make sense.

4. Place the eyes and mouth inside the head shape. Check the distance to the hairline and chin. A small thumbnail of the face is a useful test: details should not be doing all the recognition work.

5. Block the outfit into separate color zones. Choose details from your selected reference, and label any invented bow, apron or accessory as your own variation. Leave small highlights for the end.

6. Zoom out or step back. Check silhouette, braid thickness and face readability. Correct those first, then strengthen the final outline and add color. The goal is a clear study, not a claim of a perfect official reproduction.

These are third-party drawing demonstrations, not official character-model sources. Pause at a visible stage you want to practice; we have not invented timestamps or a guaranteed completion time. Open the original upload to see the creator’s full sequence and attribution.

Try one silhouette-only pass, one face-only pass and one braid overlap before combining them. Compare the same feature in both passes. If you want to practice color instead of line control, use the clean printable fan sheet.
