A pop idol pose with microphone raised and one hand forming a heart is what this guide captures, walking through how to draw Monika from the Friday Night Funkin’ roster in a performance-themed variation that adds real energy to the line work.
What Makes This Monika Drawing Worth Your Time
The tutorial runs 21 steps and ends on clean line art without a colored version, so all the focus stays on building confident lines and getting the proportions right. The asymmetry of the performance pose, with one arm raised and the other holding the mic, is the main challenge here. Full body builds like this one put the weight on consistent sizing from head to feet, and this guide paces the construction carefully so nothing feels rushed.
Monika’s Key Design Features
- Long wavy ponytail with a bow
- Large anime-style expressive eyes
- Layered top, neck ribbon, short skirt
- Thigh-high stockings and small shoes
- Microphone in hand, other hand heart-raised
If you enjoy drawing FNF characters in active poses, MX from Vs. Mario 85 and Boyfriend from Don’t Worry are solid follow-ups with their own pose challenges. The FNF Santa Claus tutorial is a good one too if you want to practice figure drawing with heavier proportions.
Understanding the Color Coding in the Steps
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.

Once the line art is done, drop your finished Monika sketch in the comments. Seeing how different people handle the pose and the hair curves is always useful, and your version might give someone else the push they need to try this one. New tutorials get posted to Facebook and Telegram as soon as they go live, a new YouTube video based on existing guides goes up every single day, and Pinterest stays updated regularly if that is where you keep your drawing references. If you want to go further with the FNF cast, Pico is a quick and rewarding follow-up, and Belle Fontiere from FNF Meta Runner brings in some extra costume detail to work through. Supporting the project on Patreon helps keep new tutorials coming and gives you access to unique hand-drawn coloring pages you won’t find anywhere else.
