How to draw Survivor Boyfriend

Scratch marks across the cheek and a cassette tape clutched in one fist set this version apart from the standard design — this guide covers how to draw Survivor Boyfriend, a battle-worn variant that fits right into the Friday Night Funkin’ roster of mod characters. The combination of microphone and cassette tape in hand gives the pose an asymmetry that makes this sketch worth the extra attention.

What the 39-Step Walkthrough Actually Covers

This is a full-body line art build with no color pass at the end, so all 39 steps stay focused on clean linework and proportions. The face is where most of the detail work lands, specifically the angry expression and the scratch marks, while the hands holding two different objects add some complexity to the lower half of the drawing. The tutorial is structured so the rough construction shapes stay visible as gray guides throughout, making it easier to keep proportions steady before committing to final lines.

Survivor Boyfriend’s Key Design Features

• Spiky short hair with small cowlick
• Angry expression with cheek scratch marks
• Casual outfit with sneakers
• Microphone in one hand
• Cassette tape in the other hand

If you want more mod character practice before tackling this one, Survivor Cleveland from the Darkness Takeover Mod shares a similar battle-damaged aesthetic and is worth drawing alongside this tutorial. For something with a different feel, Lucian from FNF Maginage Matches and Sharv are both solid follow-up sketches that cover different body shapes and expressions from the broader FNF mod scene.

Reading the Color Codes 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.

Share Your Finished Sketch When You’re Done

Once the linework is clean and the scratch marks look right, drop your finished drawing in the comments — it’s useful to see how different people handle the face details on this one. New tutorials get posted to Facebook and Telegram as soon as they go live, and a new YouTube video based on existing guides goes up every day if you prefer a video walkthrough format. For two more FNF mod characters worth sketching, Spinel and Nightmare Cuphead both have strong line-art challenges of their own. If you want to support the project and get access to unique hand-drawn coloring pages in the process, the Patreon page is the place to do that.
