How to Draw a Vampire
- Sketch the outline of the vampire’s head and torso.
To do this step, draw the head as an oval, and the torso with a straight and curved line. The head and torso should be approximately the same height.
- Sketch the outline of the ears and hair.
Draw the contours of the vampire’s hair with two semicircles and short lines. After that, draw the vampire ears pointed at the tips.
- Depict the vampire’s facial features.
Draw eyes as incomplete ovals, eyebrows with straight lines, nose, and mouth with curved lines. Try to repeat Dracula’s sly smiling expression.
- Add the elements of the costume.
Now use a few simple lines to outline the bow tie. Next, draw a characteristic collar, which will give the drawing a recognizable look.
- Sketch the vampire’s legs and waistline.
Add a straight horizontal line on the torso. Use an arch and curved lines to draw the legs. Try to match the proportions of the legs and torso.
- Sketch the arms of the vampire.
You should add curved lines to the right and left sides of the vampire’s torso. In addition, you can add fingers with sharp claws on the hands.
- Depict the character’s cape.
Add curved and rounded lines to the background of the drawn vampire. Here, as in the previous steps, you need to make everything as symmetrical as possible.
- Erase unnecessary guidelines.
Use an eraser to remove auxiliary lines that appeared during the drawing process. To make your vampire drawing more interesting, outline it with darker lines.
- Color the vampire drawing.
To color the vampire, use black, gray, shades of red, and any color you want to paint the skin. The most suitable colors are light green or light beige, as in my example.
