Gathering Supplies
Before you begin drawing Jack, you should get a few basic supplies together. All you need is a piece of sketch paper, a pencil, and an eraser. You can also use a markers and colored pencils to make your drawing more vivid and detailed. Once you have your supplies on hand, it is time to start drawing.
Create the Base Shape of the Head
For the base shape of the head, draw a large, oval shape for the skull. To make the shape more interesting and cartoonish, add several lines on both sides and in the middle of the oval. Then, draw two circles near the top of the oval for the eyes and two upside down triangle shapes for the cheeks.
Draw Jack’s Facial Features
After you have created the basic shape of the head, you can begin drawing the facial features. Start with the eyes. Draw two smaller circles for the eyes, making sure to leave some white space in between them. The eyes should be placed slightly higher than the halfway point of the oval. Then, draw two curved lines near each eye to half-closed eyelids and add two small circles on the outside of each eye for the eyebrows. Finally, draw a small line between the eyes for the nose and a large, smiling grin for the mouth.
Adding the Accessories
Now you can add Jack’s memorable hairstyle. Draw two curved lines above each eyebrow and draw two more curved lines at the top of the head. Underneath the mouth, draw three flat lines for the teeth. Add a jagged line across the forehead to complete Jack’s famous hairstyle. Finally, draw Jack’s bat bowtie. Start with a small oval in the middle of the neck and draw two curved lines above and below for the wings of the bowtie.
Coloring and Finishing Touches
Jack Skellington’s face can be defined more with the help of colors. Using a dark black marker, add shading and lines to the eyes and mouth to help define these features. Using colorful markers, add color to the bowtie. Finally, using a white gel pen or white colored pencil, add some highlights to the eyes. And you are ready! You have drawn the iconic Jack Skellington face, a classic Halloween character, perfect for the spooky season.
