After four seasons of being the victim, Will Byers finally became something else entirely. Episode four of season five delivered what many fans (including me) consider the strongest moment of the final season: Will using his connection to the Upside Down to control the Demogorgons. This tutorial covers how to draw Will Byers in that scene, now grown up and channeling powers he spent years running from.
Drawing Adult Will Byers Using His Powers
This guide breaks down into 20 steps showing Will with his eyes rolled back, hand extended to command creatures from another dimension. Noah Schnapp carried this character from terrified child to someone who turned his curse into a weapon. The moment he took control instead of being controlled marked the payoff fans waited five seasons to see.
Appearance Details
- Longer brown hair
- Eyes showing only whites
- Strained expression with visible tension
- Dark navy blue t-shirt
- Gray long-sleeve shirt underneath
- One arm extended forward with spread fingers
- Mature facial features showing age progression
Will spent most of the series connected to the Upside Down against his will. Season five finally let him use that link on his own terms.
