How to draw RetroSpecter

The Friday Night Funkin’ mod roster has produced a lot of aggressive, high-energy character designs, and RetroSpecter fits right into that tradition with a snarling dragon form built for the rap battle stage. This step-by-step tutorial breaks down how to draw RetroSpecter from scratch, covering every spine, claw, and tail curve in the design.

What the 31-Step Walkthrough Actually Covers

The tutorial runs 31 steps and finishes as clean line art with no fill colors applied, so the focus stays entirely on linework and form. RetroSpecter is a full-body standing pose with a raised microphone arm and a tail that curves behind the figure, which means the left and right sides of the drawing have different levels of complexity to manage. The bulk of the detail work lands in the head region and the hand holding the mic, so expect to slow down there.

RetroSpecter’s Key Design Elements

• Anthropomorphic dragon with head spines and horns
• Open snarling mouth with sharp teeth
• Jacket, belt, and pants outfit
• Raised clawed hand gripping microphone
• Long curved tail behind the body

If you enjoy drawing dragon-type characters in the FNF mod universe, the Blue Minus Boyfriend and the Peashooter from Plants vs. Rappers are worth checking out next, and Peter Griffin (FNF x Pibby) is a good contrast in body proportions if you want to practice something different.

Reading the Color Coding in These Steps

Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is happening at that stage:

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