Ever wanted to draw a Xenomorph from the Alien movie franchise but not sure how? Drawing these extraterrestrial creatures is much simpler than you may think. With some patience, practice and focus, you could create a Xenomorph that looks just like it stepped off the set of the movie. Read on to learn how to draw a Xenomorph.
Gather your materials. To draw a Xenomorph, you will need a pencil, eraser, and drawing paper. You’ll also need several colors of markers, colored pencils, or crayons, depending on your preference. Pick colors that capture the alien vibe – black and red are always a safe choice.
Start off with the head. Drawing the Xenomorph’s head is the most important part of your drawing – it ties all the parts together. Begin by drawing a rounded rectangle shape for the head. Make sure you leave some room for a jaw line, also known as a ‘yolk sac’, at the bottom of the head.
Start drawing the inner parts of the head. The inner parts of the head are the eyes, mouth, and the crest that lies between them. Begin with the eyes – draw two circles, one on each side of the head. Next, draw a line underneath them for the crest. Lastly, draw a triangle shape for the mouth.
Draw the details of the head. Add details to the eyes, such as eyelids and pupils. Add four horns, one on each corner of the head. Draw the jaw and teeth, as well as the appendices on the sides of the head.
Draw the body. The body is relatively simple to draw – just draw a cylinder shape that connects the head and the tail. Make sure you draw the arms and the semi-circle shape of the chest.
Draw the tail and feet. The tail of the Xenomorph is a slender, curved shape. Beginning at the body, draw a line that curves downwards and then curves up again. Draw the feet last – draw two small circles for the toes and draw a thin line for the heel.
Finish your drawing. Now is the time to color your Xenomorph. Pick colors that capture the alien vibe – black and red are always a safe choice. You can also draw in detailing such as shading, creases, and wrinkles on the body and face.
Now your Xenomorph drawing is complete! With some patience, practice and focus, you’ve created an extraterrestrial creature that looks like it stepped off the set of the movie. Enjoy your finished Xenomorph and get ready to draw more creatures from the Alien franchise!
Drawing the Xenomorph’s body is the real challenge. Begin by lightly sketching in basic shapes, such as the arms, legs, wings, and tail. Draw the shapes lightly so you can erase them if you need to. After that, draw in the details, such as the claws and spikes. Pay attention to the details you add – the more detailed your Xenomorph is, the more realistic it will look.
Next, draw in the details of the face. Begin with the eyes – draw two circles, one on each side of the head. Then draw a line underneath them for the crest. Lastly, draw a triangle shape for the mouth. Add details to the eyes, such as eyelids and pupils. Then, draw the mouth and four horns, one on each corner of the head.
When you are done drawing the face, it’s time to shade and texture the body. Use your pencil to lightly shade in the body and add details such as scales, wrinkles, and bumps. To make your Xenomorph look even more realistic, you can use markers or colored pencils to add color.
Finally, draw in the background and finish your masterpiece. Add details to the background such as rocks and landscape. This will make your Xenomorph drawing look more realistic. With this, your Xenomorph is finally complete and ready to spook other space travelers!
