Drawing a high-contrast silhouette figure with detailed skull work is exactly the skill this guide practices, and the Hellbeats Monster from the Friday Night Funkin’ roster makes for a solid subject to work through it. This step-by-step tutorial on how to draw Hellbeats Monster focuses on the tension between bold blocked shapes and fine skull detail.
A Silhouette Character That Needs a Different Approach
The tutorial runs 21 steps total and stays on line art rather than color, which actually suits this character well since the body reads as a flat black mass in the source material. The challenge here is not shading or color mixing but learning to build a readable figure from outline alone, then shifting gears into the skull mask where the detail lines do all the work. Keeping the proportions on the chunky arms and wide stance consistent is where most of the careful work happens early on.
What Hellbeats Monster Looks Like
- Skull mask with horns and wide teeth
- Large hollow eye sockets on face
- Solid black rounded chunky body
- Arms raised with wispy smoke tendrils
- Wide stance, thick legs, broad feet
If you enjoy drawing FNF monsters and spooky characters, Soft Monster is a natural next step after this one, and the Armaros sketch covers similar high-contrast dark figure work. For something with a very different energy from the same game, CJ from Starlight Mayhem is worth checking out.
