evil skull drawings
Learn how to create your own evil skull drawings!
Skull drawings
can be cute or scary, whimsical or macabre, depending on your mood
and preference. With a little slight tweaking of the features, a skull
can look menacing or endearing... it's all up to you!
I'll provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to draw 9 different
skulls. You can use a pencil, pen, markers, or crayons - whatever
you have on hand. If you're just getting the hang of it, you might
want to try with a pencil first. That way you can erase your mistakes.
If you like the final drawing, you can always go over the lines with
a marker or other art material!
This drawing lesson will show you all the steps to create the skull on the left. This one looks a bit more evil than my other ones. Scroll down to see the other types of skulls you can learn to draw!
When you're done drawing your skull, you can then color and decorate your skull drawings for Day of the Dead! If you don't know what Day of the Dead is, read all about it! For examples of my Day of the Dead art, see my skull drawings on the right.
Click on each skull to be taken to simple step-by-step instructions for drawing each one.

Watch
the animation on the left before you start drawing, so that
you can see how the individual steps build to create this evil
skull drawing! |
|
Draw an upside-down u-shape. |
On each side, draw a line from each edge that slants downwards and connects in the middle. |
Beneath the line you drew in Step 2, draw a u-shape. This will be the jaw of the skull. |
|
Inside the line you drew in Step 3, draw a similar line that runs parallel to it. This forms the outline of the mouth. |
Above the line you drew in Step 4, draw a parallel line to form the middle of the teeth. |
Draw a bunch of vertical lines to create the skull's teeth. Now it's smiling! |
|
Above the teeth, draw 2 nostrils. |
Draw 2 large circular shapes for eyes. Now you've drawn an evil skull! |
