Let’s learn how to draw Watson Amelia from hololive EN 1st Generation today!
Watson Amelia (ワトソン・アメリア) is an English Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, as part of the Hololive English 1st Generation. She is the second hololive EN member. Amelia heard strange rumors surrounding Hololive online such as talking foxes, magical squirrels, superhuman dogs,… Soon after beginning her investigation on Hololive, and just out of interest, she decided to become an idol herself.
Amelia is a rather expressive girl, who is usually kind, supportive and sweet. Despite her cute angelic appearance and personality, she can be seen mingling or teasing her fellow holomyth members and also she can be greedy, prideful, salty and unsportsmanlike in competitive online games. This side of her personality is often referred by her fans as “Gremlin Mode”. Generally, Amelia’s voice will shift towards a naughtier tone when she says something gremlin-like. Also fans often refer to her as a “True Gamer”. However, she tries her best to moderate her gremlin-like behavior. Amelia also enjoys clowning around and trolling her viewers. She is often mischievous and lewd. Moreover, when she learned about the “lewd” fanarts of her, she coined the tag “#Amelewds” that she proclaimed for them to use whenever they want to post “lewd” fanarts of her.
Her fanbase is officially called “Teamates”. Her YouTube channel Members have three tiers: Investigators, Investamigators, and Investamigatorators. She shares a name with Dr. John H. Watson, the assistant of fictional British investigator Sherlock Holmes. Her birthday, 6 January is supposedly the birthday of Sherlock Holmes. She loves to pass her time training her reflexes with FPS games and challenging herself with puzzle games. She likes roller coasters, sleeping, clear noodles, the color green (color of trees, plants, and money), iced tea and dogs. She has three pets: a hunting terrier named “Bubba”, who is also her mascot, another hunting terrier named and “Mikki/Nikki” (she says she calls her both) and a cat named “Wellington”. Her favorite cake is “yellow-flavored” with chocolate frosting. Amelia likes video games from a variety of genres. On occasion, Amelia will display her love of marine biology by talking about her knowledge of aquatic life, including random obscure trivia and methods to care for them. She has a little brother and she also can play the ukelele.
Her goals are reaching 100,000 subscribers (already reached), investigate more hololive members, improve her Japanese, debut a 3D model and make a game based on hololive. She doesn’t like dirty monitor juice, loud, high-pitch noises, going outside, wearing clothes to sleep, onions, peppers and soda, as it hurts her throat.
Step 1
As always all the blue and green lines are just construction lines and will be erased later so do not push on your pencil too much ^_^ I will try to be super efficient with the text so will only describe steps that require some explanation.
Make sure to leave enough free space on paper for next steps. You can see how much space you will need from the size of the paper on this picture.

Step 9
Lighten all the construction lines by “stamping” the kneaded eraser on the paper. Make sure to refer to the picture bellow as you need to ink only some parts of the construction lines.
Step 10
Wait till the ink is nice and dry and erase all the construction lines.
Step 11
To add colors, make sure to sketch the color outlines with the right color or pencil first.
If your goal is to become a real Mangaka and design your own manga characters make sure to try to draw Watson Amelia from memory several times. Always compare the drawing to the original and correct any mistakes you see. Do this till you are happy with the result. It doesn’t have to look exactly the same, don’t sweat the details. The point is that you get the main shapes right and that it looks good. This is the best way to build a huge library of manga shapes in your memory that you can use to draw and design your own manga characters ^-^.
Draw with passion! ^_^
