The Friday Night Funkin’ mod scene has produced some wild visual directions, and MX stands out as one of the most committed to a retro aesthetic, pulling directly from vintage rubber hose cartoons of the 1920s and 30s. This guide walks through how to draw MX step by step, covering the heavy black fills and expressive design that define the character.
What Makes MX Worth Drawing
The tutorial runs 30 steps and ends on clean line art with no color pass, which keeps the focus entirely on getting the thick fills, bold outlines, and rubber hose curves right. The vintage cartoon style means proportions are loose and exaggerated rather than anatomically grounded, so the challenge is learning to commit to those exaggerated shapes with confidence rather than pulling back toward more realistic forms.
MX Visual Reference Points
- Stocky build with cap and overalls
- Wide grinning mouth with visible teeth
- Bushy mustache and arched eyebrows
- Dark filled vest over lighter overalls
- One hand raised, one reaching forward
If you enjoy working through characters with strong silhouettes and flat fill areas, Soft Monster and Big Brother from week 1 are solid follow-ups from the same roster. For something with a heavier mod-design edge, the Aside Whitty walkthrough is worth checking out too.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to show progress clearly:
- 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 MX drawing in the comments below. Seeing how different people handle the rubber hose curves and heavy fills is always worthwhile. 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 day, and Pinterest stays regularly updated as well. If you want to keep the project going and get access to unique hand-drawn coloring pages in the process, the Patreon page is the place to do that. Other FNF mod characters worth sketching next include Lylace and Soul Robotnik, both of which have their own distinct line art challenges.
