How to draw CJ (Starlight Mayhem)

Building a full-body character with a confident stance and a microphone in hand is the core skill this guide teaches, and CJ from the Friday Night Funkin’ roster gives you a solid subject to practice it on with the how to draw CJ walkthrough laid out here. The 19 steps keep things structured, moving from rough proportions to clean linework at a steady pace.

What the 19-Step CJ Tutorial Actually Covers

This is a full-body standing pose with no background, so every step focuses on the character himself. The tutorial runs 19 steps and ends on line art rather than a colored result, which keeps attention on shape accuracy and line control. The baggy clothing silhouette and the fist-plus-microphone hand placement are the two areas that need the most patience, since both arms are doing something different.

CJ’s Key Visual Features

• Spiky hair with side swept bangs
• Wide grin, sharp confident expression
• Vest with chest pocket over shirt
• Wide-leg pants with large sneakers
• Microphone in one hand, fist on the other

If you enjoy drawing FNF characters with expressive poses, Pibby Corrupted Garcello and Shadow from FNF Rhythm Rush are good next steps. Silver from FNF Tails Gets Trolled is worth checking out too if you want more full-body character practice.

Understanding the Step Color System

Each step image uses a three-color coding 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.
