The heavy black fills and distorted rubber hose shapes are what make drawing MX genuinely tricky, since getting those shadowed areas to read correctly without losing the face structure underneath takes some careful planning. MX comes from the Friday Night Funkin’ mod roster, and this step-by-step guide walks through how to draw MX from scratch in 27 steps.
What to Expect from This 27-Step Walkthrough
This is a full-body line art tutorial with no color stage, so all 27 steps go toward building clean lines and getting the weight of the design right. The character leans forward in a hunched pose, which shifts the proportions away from a standard upright figure and requires some adjustment in how the torso and head relate to each other. The rubber hose style also means curves dominate the outline, so steady linework matters more here than in most character guides.
MX Visual Design at a Glance
- Round cap with circular emblem on top
- Large nose, thick mustache, wide grin
- Hollow dark eyes, heavily shadowed face
- White overalls over dark long-sleeve shirt
- Black rounded-toe shoes, hunched forward
If you enjoy drawing FNF characters with distorted or creepy designs, the Mario.EXE sketch is worth trying next, and the Green Impostor Parasite covers a similarly heavy linework style. Both pair well with the techniques practiced in this tutorial.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what changes at each stage:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
