If you have ever wanted to learn how to draw Five Nights at Freddy’s, you are in luck! Drawing amazing art of the video game’s beloved characters is easy if you just follow a few simple steps. From start to finish, anyone can become a master in no time.
The first step is to find a high-quality reference picture. Being able to see how the character looks makes drawing much easier. Use these pictures to draw the basic outline of the FNAF character you want to draw. It is best to draw lightly so you can easily erase any mistakes. After the basic shape is down, you can begin to add details like eyes, noses and mouths.
Use exaggeration and animation to bring the character to life. While generally you are drawing something realistic, FNAF characters often require stretching and bending of their physical forms. This helps make them look more like the characters from the game. When drawing more complex characters, make sure that the fabric is folded in a way that makes sense. Add enough detail to make the character look lifelike, without bogging the picture down with unnecessary elements.
Bring the art to life with colors. Use FNAF’s signature colors as a great place to start. However, going outside of the box can add unique flair to your artwork. Don’t be afraid to experiment with colors and other elements to get the perfect look. FNAF characters have a wildly varied color palette, so you can really create any look you want.
Make the character stand out with shading. FNAF art is incomplete without some shading. Still utilizing the bright colors of the game, begin paring down the colors in different areas of the character. This can help to make the character more dimensional and 3D. Shadow in natural places, like the insides of the character’s arms and legs, add depth.
To make sure your art is noticed, use the right props. Props can not only give the character something to do and make the scene more dynamic, but they also add visual interest to the drawing. Props like musical instruments and other objects of interest give the character something to do, and will greatly enhance the overall look of your drawing.
Finally, put the finishing touches on your beautiful work of art. Use FNAF-style lettering for the title or any words that you decide to include. Additionally, pick a background color or pattern if desired. While the character will take center stage in the picture, adding a few small details can really bring the picture together and give it a finished look.
Drawing FNAF characters is a great way to show off your art skills and have fun. By utilizing reference images, exaggerating the animation, picking out colors, adding shading, and adding props, you can turn your vision into a work of art! So grab your charcoal and your FNAF references and get ready to start making art!
