Evil Skull Drawing

[Jarrell Campbell]

Lookingfor a terrifying evil skull drawing tutorial? Look no further, this is going to be your ultimate evil skull stop! In conceiving this tutorial I wanted to create a drawing that was at the same time truly horrifying (in the good sense) and easy to realize.

To draw them just draw two simple lines from the center of the big rectangle to the sides of the upper half of the rectangle as shown in the image. Now follow the arrows and draw the shape of the upper part of the mouth.

Then position the nose. As you can see a trapezoidal shape is enough to block it out. Finally, draw the mandible. This might appear as a slightly difficult shape but it is not. Use straight lines to draw it approximately following the form in the image. So far so easy!

Having defined the principal shapes of the evil skull drawing it is now time to open the dances (metaphorically!). start adding details to the head. Try to follow my lead but you do not really need to.

Just go with the flow and start shaping the various parts of the evil skull as you like. I have added teeth, rounded the eyebrows and added a few lines here and there to make the skull look smoother and less stiff.

It is a good time now to clean up your drawing a bit. I used a 2H pencil all the way but a H might do as well. Keep working on the details of the skull and remember to work your drawing as a whole without focusing too much on a single part.

I have used a reference image of a real skull from this point on to add that bit of realism to the drawing and I encourage you to do the same. referencing material is an indispensable tool for an artist and with the internet nowadays you have no excuses!

I have also worked on the light and shadow just a little bit and defined the internal parts of the nose from my reference. Not that difficult at all is it? I hope you enjoyed my evil skull drawing and see you soon with my next horrifying tutorial!

For wicked skull drawings, we start with simple geometrical shapes, just to block in the contour. Use only short, straight lines, do not draw curves yet. A sketch is supposed to be rough; you can adjust it quickly to correct any mistakes. In short terms, keep your roughs rough and your cleans clean.

Unlike regular human skulls, you can add expressions and alter its overall shape to become more aggressive.
