An oversized mask face frozen in a grimace sits on top of a neck so thin it barely seems structural, and that contrast is what makes drawing Smiler from Friday Night Funkin’ such an odd and rewarding challenge. This guide walks through how to draw Smiler FNF in 14 steps, covering the bold ink silhouette and all the uneven proportions that define this creep.
A Character Built Around Unsettling Proportions
The tutorial runs 14 steps and ends on clean line art rather than a colored result, which keeps the focus on getting the shapes and weight distribution right. The biggest structural challenge is the contrast between the bulky head and the almost skeletal body below it, plus the hunched stance that throws off the usual vertical alignment. No background is included, so all the work goes into the figure itself.
Smiler’s Key Visual Features
- Large oval mask face, drooping sad expression
- Heavily lined forehead, dark sunken eye sockets
- Extremely thin elongated neck and torso
- Long arms ending in wide claw-like hands
- Hunched slouching stance on two legs
If you enjoy the unsettling side of the Papyrus (FNF: Indie Cross) and MX from Mario’s Madness end of the FNF mod roster, this one fits right in. You might also want to try the Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest duo afterward for a tonal shift toward the base game.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new versus what came before:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
