- Hi, my name's Jordan Rosato.
I'm the storyboard artist on "The Loud House,"
and I will be showing you
how to draw the twins, Lana and Lola, today.
- [Both] Together! (screams)
(upbeat music)
- Gonna start off with a lighter pencil
just to do a sketch so that I know what I'm drawing.
With the twins, they're both kinda the same basic shapes
at the beginning, so I'm gonna draw them together.
So, they got a big old head, big old circle head.
That'll be Lola, eventually.
And then, a big old circle head for Lana, eventually.
And we'll act like they're posing for a camera or something.
Have their little...
Their bodies are pretty basic.
They're real short.
They're six years old, so we've got just a curve here
to show me where their bodies are gonna be.
With Lola, she's in a dress,
so it kind of just goes straight
from her neck to her feet.
So, we're gonna do a little straight line,
act like that's a dress.
Eventually it'll be a dress.
And then, for Lana, she's got her little overalls.
But they go down straight to her feet and little cuffs.
I'm just gonna indicate
where eventually I'll be drawing her feet.
Get the pose right in this underdrawing.
So, her arm is gonna be on her hip, and so is hers,
'cause I'm gonna have them posing
just the same 'cause they're twins,
'cause they're exact opposites. (chuckles)
But gonna have them contrast in their design,
rather than their pose.
And we'll have a line for facial structure.
Indicate that their heads are tilting back.
Get Lana's big old hat.
Backwards baseball cap.
And Lola's little crown is gonna go there eventually.
They've got oval-shaped eyes.
And a little nose, it's gonna go there eventually.
I'm about happy about how this is gonna be spatially.
Gonna draw over it with a darker pencil
just so I can get lines just right.
I've got my roadmap, I know what I'm gonna be drawing.
I'm feelin' confident.
And gonna draw a circle and it's gonna be difficult.
Just gonna go in there.
Didn't like it.
Nope, circle's are tough.
There we go, got one.
I like it so much I might just copy and paste it.
They're twins, gonna use the same shape.
Okay, so, we got circles for their heads.
Gonna do some cylindrical circles for their eyes.
So, you're gonna take a circle and stretch it out.
They don't get space between their eyes in "The Loud House."
It's always cross-eyed.
Same with their pupils, they're kind of elongated circles,
but completely blacked-in.
She's excited to see you.
Make her eyes nice and big.
And her nose is kind of this hillish shape
that's just kind of smushed over.
Imagine taking a U, and kinda tilting it.
And it's in front of her eye, so I'm gonna erase that line.
She's got mascara on, probably,
so we've got three little lines for her eyelashes.
Big old smile, so for their mouths,
we're gonna kinda follow the curve of their heads.
And it's this slightly curvy, mostly straight upper line.
And then, we're gonna do
a nice big U for the bottom of her mouth.
And we're gonna connect those like a lemon wedge shape.
And so, they both are missing their two front teeth.
I'm gonna do another slightly curved line
to indicate the bottom teeth versus the top teeth.
And if they're missing their two front teeth,
those kinda line up off-center,
but like right in the middle.
I'm gonna darken this in, color it in right there,
'cause you're seeing through the teeth into the mouth gap.
Got some more teeth,
so we're gonna put in some lines for her teeth.
Smiling big, and that's basically her face now.
And we've got another
kind of elongated circle shape for her ear.
Gonna erase where it's coming in front of her face.
And then, inside the ear is an upside-down Y.
So, you take a Y, you flip it around,
and that's the shape that you're gonna draw
for the ear detail.
And give her enough room for her earring.
She's a little sassy, so we'll have her cocking one eyebrow.
And then, her bangs
are kinda swept to the side like Lincoln's,
so we're gonna do this sweeping curvy line
straight to her bangs that kind of turkey-tail
almost like Lincoln's, but smaller off to the side.
So, three little stretched U's. (chuckles)
And those go in front of her head.
Side hairs, it's like two more little elongated U's,
they're going behind her ear.
Gonna erase where they come over her eyes.
And then, her crown is like five swirlies.
So, it's like a swirl.
One, two, three, four, five.
There we go.
So, I like that head.
I'm gonna move on to Lana over here
just so we're at a same pace.
Since I'm drawing them together,
I want them to interact.
So, same as Lola, she's got some oval eyes,
and they're touching in the middle.
A U-shape nose that's pushed onto the side.
Gonna erase where it goes over her eye.
Kind of elongated oval irises, pupils.
And I like to think that since Lana's a tomboy,
she doesn't wear as much mascara,
so she's got two eyelashes
just to differentiate them a little bit.
We're gonna do a nice curvy line for the top of her mouth
and connect both ends with a curvy line
that looks like a lemon wedge.
She's also missing her two front teeth.
Gonna give a gap there, color that in,
'cause we're seeing into her mouth.
Draw some lines for some other teeth.
Kinda offset the lines kinda like a brick house
You don't want each line to go straight to each other.
And then, her hat's kind of this flat shape.
We go straight across her head,
and then it's a big hill shape,
and then a smaller hill shape for the back of the hat.
She's got a little button up there.
Gonna erase where her head was.
And then, the brim of her hat is at the back.
It's kind of this, it's like a, I don't know,
another little cylinder, but it's kinda pinched at the back
since it's coming out of her hat.
So, it's cylinder, that's pinched at this end,
so it kinda makes this shape.
And then, her bangs, a lot shorter than Lola's.
So, it's just a bunch of U's that we're connecting
coming out right under her hat.
So, we're gonna give her
three little bangs on either side.
(relaxing music)
Bang, bang.
And then, erase where
they're coming in front of her features.
Her little eyebrows,
maybe you can make 'em come up onto her hat
so you can see 'em.
A little oval shape for her ear.
And we're gonna repeat what we did with Lola.
Gonna give it an upside-down Y at the bottom.
She's not wearing any earrings.
Who's got time?
And her little hair comes behind her ears.
And there we go.
We got both their heads.
And we're gonna move on to the body here.
So, Lola's got this pearl necklace.
It's just like five more circles
right underneath where her neck would be.
And then, we're gonna follow this curve
that we drew on the underdrawing.
The front of her dress.
The back of her dress.
She's got a little sash on
'cause she's a beauty queen, pageant girl.
So, that's gonna go from her left shoulder on your right
to the bottom, just two little lines following that curve.
We're gonna pretend like she has
a little fold in her dress, it's a little U there.
And then, a bunch of little U's
to indicate the bottom of her dress,
'cause she's standing on the ground flat.
We've got some dimension here.
And so, they have these arms that look like rubber hoses.
They're thin and they curve where their joints are.
So, instead of coming to a point like your elbow,
it's like just a straight curve.
And her hand's on her hips.
So, right at the wrist,
we're gonna bend in another curve,
and show like three little fingers.
There we go, and bend it back.
And she also has these long gloves on
'cause she's in full pageant gear.
So, we're just gonna indicate
where her glove is right there.
And then, move on to Lana.
So, Lana, gonna follow this curve that we already drew,
and follow this curve that we already drew.
Let's have her standing behind Lola.
So, like, this is where her pants are.
She's got overall on,
so I'm gonna do two little rectangles there
where her overall straps are.
They come to a button here.
Just gonna do a button and another button.
And the front of her overalls kinda come here
and go straight down.
It connects, just straight lines
from the buttons to each other.
She's got a little pocket in front
where she's holdin' either tools
or her friend Hops the frog.
She's got pants on, so we'll draw just a little U,
and another straight line down to the cuff of her pants.
And I'm gonna erase where that goes in front.
And another flattened circle for her foot.
A U for the cuff of her pants.
And a flattened circle for her foot.
And she's got little short sleeves on,
so a little rectangle for her sleeve.
And the rubber-hosey arm comes out from underneath.
Her hand's on her hip, so gonna bend it there
and do one, two, three little fingers right on her hip.
Think her sleeve's a little long,
so I'm gonna fix that.
Give it enough room so we can see her elbow.
Do a little shadow.
Okay, and they're kind of interacting with each other,
so Lola's arm's gonna come behind Lana.
So, that's Lola's arm.
She's got her pageant glove on.
And then, we're gonna see her hand
on top of Lana's arm.
So, like three little U's for her fingers.
I'm gonna erase where I drew underneath Lana,
so it's as if her hand's on her shoulder.
And we'll do the same over here.
We've got a rectangle for her sleeve
coming behind Lola, a little shadow.
And then, three little U's for her fingers
on top of Lola's arm.
And the rest is just their hair.
So, Lola's hair is a lot longer than Lana's.
Lana's got hers in pigtails.
And I like to do their hair last,
just so I can find a nice spot that you can definitely see.
So, we've got some room between her ear and the hands.
So, one, two, three for her pigtail.
And then, Lola's kinda go straight down
from the back of her head, 'cause her hair's down.
So, it's a curvy line,
and then some more U shapes for the bottom of her hair.
She's got it all fluffed and ready for her pageants.
And that's how you draw Lola and Lana.
