The trickiest part of learning how to draw Chica with a cake is balancing her rounded, almost cartoonish anatomy with the mechanical segmented details that run through her body, and that challenge is front and center throughout this Five Nights at Freddy’s tutorial. The prop she carries, a small cupcake with its own face and teeth rather than a full-sized cake, adds an extra focal point that needs careful placement alongside her bib and expressive face.
Chica Step by Step: What the 36 Steps Actually Cover
This tutorial runs 36 steps and ends on clean line art intended as a coloring page, so the entire build is about confident, readable lines rather than shading or color. The full-body pose means proportions carry the most weight here, particularly in how the torso, segmented limbs, and three-toed feet stack up underneath that oversized round head. The cupcake prop in her hand is worked in during the mid-steps, which gives the composition more going on than a simple standing figure would.
Chica’s Key Visual Features
- Round bird head with small feather crest
- Large circular eyes with expressive eyebrows
- Chest bib reading LET’S EAT!!!
- Cupcake with eyes and teeth held in one hand
- Robotic segmented body with three-toed feet
If you want to keep drawing through the FNaF roster, Springlock Fredbear and Rockstar Freddy follow a similar full-body animatronic structure and are worth tackling next. For something more mechanically stripped down, Endo-02 focuses entirely on the skeletal endoskeleton underneath.

Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new and what is already done:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
