A raised fist, long open coat, and military epaulettes give Roy Mustang his commanding silhouette, and this step-by-step guide covers how to draw Roy Mustang full growth as part of the broader Fullmetal Alchemist tutorial collection. The full-body standing pose captures the character at his most composed and authoritative.
What the 13 Steps Actually Cover
This is a full-body line art tutorial with no color in the final result, so all 13 steps focus on building clean, confident linework from head to boots. The pose is upright with the right fist raised, which introduces a bit of asymmetry to work through, and the long coat with open front adds layering detail that takes patience to keep proportional.
Roy Mustang’s Key Visual Features
- Short messy hair, sharp narrow eyes
- Serious expression with a slight frown
- Military uniform with shoulder epaulettes and chest pin
- Long coat open at front, wide-leg pants
- Cord or chain accessory across the chest
If you want more Fullmetal Alchemist characters to practice alongside this one, the guide to Greed is a solid next step, and Riza Hawkeye shares the same military uniform structure, making it useful for comparison. There is also a face-only version of Roy Mustang if you want to focus on just the portrait before tackling the full figure.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to keep the progress clear:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
