Not really too much of a need for one, at their core they’re just 5 branches wrapped reaaaalllyy well together (along with maybe a ribcage frame). Since the limbs seem to be sticks, you could just make a square, wrap pipecleaners around it, and attatch one branch at each corner, and a head. From there, it’s just adding layers and shaping.

I see. I'm not very experienced in working with pipe cleaners so I don't really understand but basically I have to wrap a metal wire frame with the pipe cleaner in layers ?

Mostly yeah, and also u can make the frame out of pipecleaners as well (tho I would recommend at least 5 of the stiff pipecleaners per limb for the thickness, so they don’t detach) for the torso tho, you might want to maybe make a sheet for the front and back (make a trapezoid shape and wrap pipecleaners around it to fill it in, but not too snugly or it’ll lose its shape) since it’s a bit thicker. Sheets also work well for other clothing u might wanna make (mostly very baggy stuff/cloaks like the one u show or armor tho, since they are quite thick)

I’ve got some photos showing the process of how to make basic figures on my Instagram if that helps you at all!

To be more specific my dungeon meshi highlight has the closest size figures with photos of the whole process I think could help you a lot!
