Rainbow Friends Purple is one of the more mysterious monsters from the Roblox horror game — a darker, aquatic creature that lurks in vents and dark spaces. With its tall shape, glowing eye, and shadowy presence, Purple is a striking character to draw. Part of the 6-minute 100 Days Sketching Challenge.

🖍️ What You Need

  • Pencil and eraser
  • Purple and dark purple markers
  • White or yellow for the glowing eye
  • Black for shadows
  • Black pen for outlines

How to Draw Rainbow Friends Purple Step by Step

  1. Draw the tall body — Purple has a tall, somewhat hunched, shadowy body shape. Make it taller and thinner than the rounded Blue or Green.
  2. Add the head — a rounded head at the top of the body, blending into the shape.
  3. Draw the single glowing eye — Purple is often depicted with one large, glowing eye (or narrow eyes), giving it a sinister, watchful look. Make the eye bright against the dark body.
  4. Add the menacing mouth — a wide mouth with sharp teeth, since Purple is one of the scarier Rainbow Friends.
  5. Draw the long limbs — long, thin arms and legs suited to climbing through vents and lurking in dark spaces.
  6. Add the shadowy texture — Purple lurks in darkness, so shade the body deeply in dark purple with black shadows to give it a lurking, half-hidden quality.
  7. Suggest the environment — Purple lives in vents, so you could draw it peering out of a dark vent opening or floor grate.
  8. Colour — deep purple body with dark shadows, and a bright glowing eye for contrast.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: Purple is the 'lurking in the dark' Rainbow Friend, so lean into shadow and contrast: shade the body deep purple with black shadows, then make the glowing eye bright and sharp against the darkness. The contrast between the shadowy body and the glowing eye is what makes Purple feel sinister and watchful.

🌟 Did You Know?

In Rainbow Friends, Purple is an aquatic, vent-dwelling monster that behaves differently from the others — it lurks in dark spaces and vents rather than patrolling openly like Blue. Each Rainbow Friend has a unique hunting behaviour, which is part of what makes the game tense and strategic: players must learn how each colourful monster moves and hunts in order to survive.

The Rainbow Friends Roster

  • Blue — the largest, rounded, patrols openly, no mouth
  • Green — blind, hunts by sound, googly eyes
  • Orange — tall and thin, appears at specific times
  • Purple — aquatic, lurks in vents and dark spaces (this tutorial)
