The Friday Night Funkin’ roster keeps growing with fan-made mods and original characters, and Tristan fits right into that mix with a simple but readable design built for the rhythm game’s visual style. This step-by-step tutorial on how to draw Tristan breaks the character down into manageable shapes across 19 steps.
What Makes This Drawing a Good Practice Run
The tutorial runs 19 steps and ends on clean line art without color, so the focus stays entirely on proportion and shape control. Tristan uses an oversized head on a short compact body, which means getting the head-to-body ratio right early matters a lot. The microphone in the oversized hand adds an asymmetrical element in the later steps that requires some attention to proportion.
Tristan’s Key Visual Features
- Round large head with small hair spikes
- One oval eye, one round eye visible
- Triangular beak-like nose, open smiling mouth
- Oversized hand holding a microphone
- Short stubby body with flat rounded feet
If you want more FNF characters to practice with, Shinto from FNF Lullaby and Knuckles from Rhythm Rush both use similar compact full-body layouts, while Experiment 1006 (FNF: Huggy Wuggy) pushes the style toward something more exaggerated if you want a challenge after this one.
Reading the Step Colors in This Tutorial
Each step uses a three-color system to show what’s new and what’s already been drawn:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
