The torn suit sections and exposed endoskeleton joints are what make drawing Withered Freddy tricky, since every limb needs that balance between animatronic structure and visible damage without the figure looking like a jumbled mess. This step-by-step guide covers the full character from the Five Nights at Freddy’s roster, walking through how to draw Withered Freddy in 32 steps from rough sketch to finished line art.
What This Tutorial Tackles and Why It Takes 32 Steps
This is a full-body build with the character mid-pose, one arm raised and the other holding a microphone, which introduces asymmetry early on. The damage details, torn suit edges, and exposed joint sections at the arms and legs are spread across the later steps, so the pacing front-loads the main silhouette and saves the detail work for when the structure is already in place. The result is clean line art with no color fill, so line confidence and clean edges matter throughout.
Withered Freddy’s Design at a Glance
- Animatronic bear with round ears, top hat
- Wide grin with rows of visible teeth
- Black bow tie, two buttons on chest
- Asymmetric pose, microphone in one hand
- Torn suit sections, exposed endoskeleton joints
If you want more FNAF practice before or after this one, Freddy Fazbear is a good baseline since he shares the same bear frame without the damage detail. the Puppet is worth trying if you want to practice long limb proportions, and Jack-O-Bonnie covers a similarly worn-down animatronic look.
Understanding the Color Coding in the Step Images
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new versus what is already done:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.

Oh, I’ve been planning to draw them for a very long time. Thanks for the reminder.
Let me know if any of the links aren’t working anymore, I can always relink them.
Loud House is ready! The sketches will be published within a few days
Ilnur, us Friday Night Funkin’ people have wanted you to do characters, but you only did one of them. QV asked for Pibby Survivors Cleveland Brown, Peter Griffin, Glenn Quagmire, and Joe Swanson, Pibby corrupted Glenn Quagmire, and Rallo Brown from a YouTube video put on How to Draw Ink Bendy Nightmare Run (FNF) And I wanted you to do D-Side Suicide Oswald. So sorry if I come off as rude, but us FNF people want to find out how to draw stuff we want as well.
Hey Vinny Queen. In that case, I’ll need your help. The most difficult thing for me is the search for references. I’ve already drawn Brian, Stewie and Cleveland Brown from those YouTube videos. Rewinded through the video and couldn’t find the rest of the characters so they could be clearly seen. The search for Oswald was also unsuccessful. I will need either images/screenshots with these characters, or the exact time on the videos where they can be seen.
About Nightmare Run – here is the drawing.
P.S. From October to the end of November, I will not be able to add new drawings. Therefore, we have about another week to add these sketches. You can choose up to 10-15 more characters that you want to see on the website. That’s about how much I’ll have time to do and publish during this time.
You can search for “Untold Loneliness fnf” on YouTube. also I have images of the characters, but my phone isn’t playing fair and it wants to be an ass so I’m going to use my computer to try again.
It would be great if you provided these images. You can DM them to me on Instagram – @sketchok_com
Hey llnur think you can do Jojo’s bizarre adventure characters
Hey Ben! I’ll try to do at least some of them until the end of the month
Thx llnur
I added two JoJo drawings 😊 The work will continue when I get home in November

Hi Cassie, I’ll try to add more of these animatronics soon
