How to draw Pibby Tankman

Gun raised and glitch fragments scattered across every limb, Pibby Tankman is frozen mid-corruption in this guide, which is part of the broader Friday Night Funkin’ tutorial lineup on the site. If you want to learn how to draw Pibby Tankman with all those dark splatters and cracked details intact, this walkthrough breaks the whole thing down step by step.

What Makes This Corrupted Tankman Worth the Extra Effort

The tutorial runs 29 steps and ends on clean line art without color, so all the focus goes toward getting the glitch artifacts and blocky proportions right. The asymmetry created by the gun arm versus the corrupted limbs means there is a fair amount of detail work on the right side of the figure, while the left stays relatively spare. This is a full-body chibi build, so the oversized head and short legs need to read as intentional, not awkward.

Pibby Tankman: Key Design Details

• Blocky chibi frame with dark helmet and headset
• Large cracked eye with circular monocle detail
• Corruption glitches spread across body and limbs
• Boxy double-barreled pistol in right hand
• Short stocky legs with scattered glitch fragments

Other corrupted and alternate-universe FNF characters follow a similar pattern of layered detail work. FNF: Secret Histories Sonic shares that same combination of familiar silhouette plus glitch-style distortion, and Wednesday’s Infidelity Girlfriend is another good reference point for drawing alternate versions of recognizable FNF characters. Both are worth checking out alongside this one.

Reading the Color Coding in the Step Images

Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new and what came before:

• Red Color: lines added in the current step.
• Black Color: lines completed earlier.
• Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
