We only ever see Kaufmo in old photos and one terrifying abstracted form, yet the clown became a fan favorite the moment the pilot dropped. This tutorial shows how to draw Kaufmo, the circus resident from The Amazing Digital Circus who was gone before Pomni ever showed up.
Drawing the Clown Before He Abstracted
This guide focuses on Kaufmo’s original clown form as seen in flashbacks and group photos, not his abstracted monster version. The full tutorial runs through 15 images, with the last one being the colored result. His design is deceptively simple at first glance, but the proportions of the suit and the placement of his facial features need some care to get right.
Kaufmo’s Clown Design Breakdown
- White noseless face with simple oval eyes
- Thick red lips and triangular eye markings
- Yellow clown suit with red pom-pom buttons
- Blue ruffled collar around the neck
- Yellow party hat with red ball on top
- White gloves and red clown shoes
Kaufmo was close friends with Ribbit and Jax, so drawing all three together tells the story of a group that got broken apart by abstraction. Queenie is another character we only know from memories, making her a natural companion piece to this sketch.
How the Step Colors Work
Each image uses three colors to keep the process clear:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
