Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sketching the Head

Pencil sketch showing the initial curved top of Mangle's head on white paper.

Draw two curved lines to form a soft half-circle for the top of the head. Teacher's Tip: Keep this shape rounded and symmetrical to give Mangle a balanced look.

Step 2: Defining the Cheeks

Drawing showing triangular cheek fur added to the sides of the head shape.

Add two triangular tufts of fur on either side of the head. Tip: Make these points sharp to emphasize the robotic, fox-like design of the character.

Step 3: The First Ear

Adding the first articulated ear to the top of the head using teardrop shapes.

Draw a teardrop shape for the ear, with a smaller teardrop inside for detail. Connect it to the head with two short lines. Tip: Use a light touch to keep the mechanical joints looking clean.

Step 4: The Second Ear

Adding the second ear to the opposite side of the head.

Repeat the process on the opposite side to draw the second ear. Tip: Ensure the ears are roughly the same size to maintain proportion.

Step 5: Drawing the Snout

Detailing the snout and muzzle area of the character.

Sketch a rounded rectangle for the nose, then add an irregular shape below it with a rounded 'M' line for the lips. Tip: This creates the signature FNAF animatronic muzzle look.

Step 6: The Lower Jaw

Drawing the lower jaw structure beneath the muzzle.

Add curved lines at the corners of the mouth and a larger curved shape underneath to form the lower jaw. Tip: Leave enough space for the teeth in the next step!

Step 7: Adding the Eyes

Adding detailed eyes with pupils and eyelashes.

Draw two rounded eye sockets, adding lids and eyelashes. For one eye, draw three concentric circles for the pupil. Tip: The eyelashes add a touch of personality to the character.

Step 8: Adding Teeth

Drawing the sharp, mechanical teeth inside the open jaw.

Trace a parallel line inside the jaw and add sharp, triangular teeth. Tip: Keep the teeth small and uniform to make them look like individual animatronic parts.

Step 9: Mechanical Details

Adding complex mechanical wires and the second eye to the drawing.

Add loose wires and jointed mechanical parts around the head. Include the secondary eye on a square base. Tip: This is where Mangle starts to look truly 'mangled' and authentic!

Step 10: Color and Finish

Final colored drawing of Mangle with pale face and rosy cheeks.

Color your Mangle with a pale face and rosy cheeks to complete the clown-like aesthetic. Tip: Use light grey or white for the metallic parts to give it a realistic sheen.
