Fullmetal Alchemist built its cast around contrasts, and Winry Rockbell sits at the emotional center of that balance, the mechanic with a wrench in her hand and a fierceness that matches anyone in the series. This guide walks through how to draw Winry Rockbell in 13 steps using line art from the Fullmetal Alchemist tutorial collection.
What the 13-Step Winry Walkthrough Covers
The tutorial runs 13 steps and ends on clean line art with no color fill, so all the focus goes into getting the proportions and linework right. The figure is standing in a relaxed pose with arms at the sides, which keeps things structurally straightforward, though the windswept hair flowing left adds some asymmetry to manage in the earlier steps.
Winry Rockbell’s Key Design Features
- Long straight hair swept to the left
- Large expressive anime-style eyes
- Crop top with open collar neckline
- High-waisted skirt at the waist
- Relaxed standing pose, arms at sides
If you want to keep building out the Fullmetal Alchemist roster after this, Riza Hawkeye is a solid next step with a sharper, more military silhouette to work through. Maes Hughes offers a good contrast in character energy and body language. For something with more edge, Greed brings a heavier, more stylized build to practice.
Reading the Step Colors in This Tutorial
Each step image uses a three-color system to show progression clearly:
