Scratched up, shirtless, and mid-collapse, this beat-up variant of Cleveland Brown is the version captured in this how to draw Cleveland Brown tutorial, which is part of the growing Friday Night Funkin’ character lineup on the site. The damage details across his arms and torso are what make this sketch stand out from a standard character drawing.
What Makes This 26-Step Sketch Worth Your Time
The tutorial runs through 26 steps and ends on clean line art rather than a colored result, so all the focus goes toward getting the wound marks, tattered pants, and overall body proportions right. This is a full-body standing pose, and the sheer number of scratch marks distributed across his limbs and torso means the later steps involve a lot of careful placement work. The earlier steps build the body structure first, which makes that detail phase much easier to manage.
Cleveland Brown’s Beaten-Up Appearance in This Version
- Short dark rounded hair on top
- Mustache and open mouth expression
- Shirtless, chest hair visible
- Torn ragged pants, barefoot
- Multiple scratch marks across body
If you enjoy drawing roughed-up FNF characters, Beta Luigi and Cartoon Cat are both solid next picks with their own unsettling design choices. The troll Boyfriend is another option if you want something with a different kind of chaotic energy.
Reading the Step Colors in This Guide
Each step uses a three-color system to keep the progression clear:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
