Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Step 1: Sketching the Face

Pencil sketch showing the initial outline of Boyfriend's face, eyes, and mouth from Friday Night Funkin.

Start by drawing a 'C' shape for the cheek and an 'L' shape for the forehead. At the end of the 'L,' add a small checkmark to define the hair and eyebrow. Draw an oval mouth at the base and two solid ovals for the eyes. Teacher's Tip: Keep your pencil pressure light here so you can refine the shapes later.

Step 2: Defining the Spiky Hair

Adding spiky hair segments to the top of the character's head using jagged lines.

Use a series of curved and straight lines that meet at sharp, jagged points to create his iconic spiky manga-style hair. Teacher's Tip: Don't worry about making the spikes perfect; the character's style is meant to look energetic and slightly messy.

Step 3: Adding the Ear and Cap

Drawing the ear detail and the backwards baseball cap on the character's head.

Draw a small triangle-within-a-triangle for the ear. Close the face shape with a curved line, then draw his backwards baseball cap. Use simple curved lines to show the bill and the seam. Teacher's Tip: A backwards cap is a great way to practice drawing overlapping shapes.

Step 4: Drawing the Peace Sign Hand

Detailing the hand gesture showing a peace sign with fingers.

Draw the hand making a 'V' for victory sign. Use curved lines for the fingers, doubling them back to create thickness. Teacher's Tip: If the fingers look tricky, draw them as simple 'U' shapes first, then refine the edges.

Step 5: Shirt and Microphone Base

Outlining the shirt design and starting the circular microphone shape.

Outline the shirt with curved lines and add an oval detail on the chest. Start the microphone by drawing a circle with a checkerboard pattern inside. Teacher's Tip: Use a ruler or light guide lines to keep your checkerboard pattern straight.

Step 6: Grasping the Microphone

Drawing the fist wrapped around the microphone handle.

Use overlapping curved lines to draw the fist holding the microphone. Add rounded shapes on the sides for the handle. Teacher's Tip: Focus on the 'overlap'—this is what makes the hand look like it's actually gripping the object.

Step 7: Adding the First Shoe

Drawing the first sneaker with lace details.

Use a zigzag line for the arm, then draw the shoe using overlapping curves. Add three rounded shapes on top for the laces. Teacher's Tip: Shoes can be tricky—think of them as a rounded box shape first.

Step 8: Drawing the Second Shoe

Adding the second sneaker to complete the character's stance.

Repeat the process from the previous step to draw the second shoe. Keep the shape consistent with the first one. Teacher's Tip: Check that both shoes are roughly the same size so your character looks balanced.

Step 9: Finalizing the Soles

Adding the final sole details to the bottom of the shoes.

Complete the outline by drawing a curved line under each shoe to represent the soles. Teacher's Tip: A thicker line here helps ground the character on the page.
