Learn to Draw Low and Alone

It’s time for an art lesson, children.

Those of you who follow Little Nightmares on social media or frequent the Little Nightmares Discord already know that many very talented students have turned in their fanart projects for grading. And of course, you have also yearned for the same accolades and acclaim from your peers, isn’t that right?

For once, fate might be briefly on your side.

Here are two guides that show you step-by-step instructions for drawing the protagonists of Little Nightmares III, Low and Alone.

Listen carefully little ones, the trick to all of these types of step-by-step guides is to start off lightly. If you are using traditional tools, build up the structure of the early steps with very light pencil that you can erase later and try to complete your final lines in pen. If you are using digital tools, make a new layer for later steps and reduce the opacity of your early structural guideposts to prevent confusion.

Also, pay attention to the relationships between the shapes, and try to follow the guidelines carefully. That will prevent your drawing from becoming distorted… unless that’s your goal. 

Finally, be patient and don’t rush to the details. You well know that rushing often leads to poor outcomes in life.
