The wide-brimmed hat sitting on a compact chibi frame is the main challenge in this tutorial, since getting the hat proportions right relative to the small body takes a few tries, and Ritz The Rat from the Friday Night Funkin’ character lineup adds a raised fist and chunky oversized feet that push the proportions even further. This guide on how to draw Ritz The Rat walks through all 12 steps as clean black and white line art, so the focus stays entirely on shape control and proportion balance.
Chibi Proportions and the Hat Problem
The tutorial runs 12 steps and delivers a line art result with no color fill, which means every shape needs to read clearly on its own without color helping to define edges. The character holds a pose with one fist raised near the face while gripping a microphone in the other hand, so the two arms are doing different things at the same time, which adds some asymmetry to manage early on. The hat brim is wide enough that it extends past the body outline, so that relationship between hat width and body width is where most of the proportion work happens.
Ritz The Rat Visual Design Notes
- Small chibi frame with oversized head
- Wide-brimmed hat sits high on head
- Large dark sunglasses cover most of face
- Microphone in one hand, fist raised
- Chunky sneakers on oversized feet
If you enjoy drawing FNF characters with expressive silhouettes, Joe Swanson (FNF x Pibby) and Cassandra are worth working through next, and Soul Knuckles is a good follow-up if you want more asymmetric pose practice.
Understanding the Step Color System
Each step image uses a three-color code to show where you are in the drawing process:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
