Now we can start to flesh out the artistic drawing processes of drawing vampire skulls with inking and coloring.

Inking a Vampire Skull – With an ink pen you can start to ink over the pencil lines and try to improve the drawing. If you take your time which is something that I didn’t really do. You can try different line weights which help to make cool solid ink lines contrasting with thin ink lines.

Coloring a Vampire skull – Crayola coloring pencils I used here to color the Vampire skull and although you can use any coloring pencils the crayolas are great for blending. I order most of my art equipment from amazon because they have links with stores that stock quality art products.

I chose the flesh colors for the Vampire skull.

Zombie Hitler Face Coloring With Crayola Pencils

The very idea of creating a drawing of a zombified Hitler was a fun one to create and so I did a long 25 minute video of me coloring in this drawing with Classic Crayola color pencils which are a favorite of mine.

I tried to aim for cooler colors like blues and purples blended with reds to try to make a really cold looking evil Zombie Hitler face. Take a look for yourself and have a go at drawing Adolf Hitler as a Zombie. Remember to share this video if you like it or send it to your friends through Facebook or Twitter.

How To Draw An Evil Heart – 3 Part Drawing Video Series

How to draw an evil heart came about after I had a couple of emails about drawing a tattoo styled demon heart so I did a three-part drawing video series covering the steps of sketching the design, then inking it and finally coloring the tattoo idea. The very idea of an evil heart really is quite a striking one especially when you get it right and include all the design elements that is going to make it look evil-looking. Although not everyone’s cup of tea.

Drawing the evil heart drawing with pencil is preferred unless you are good at drafting in ink pens straight off. The pencil drawing stage is a great way for you to explore the process and see what ideas you can create on the paper. I like to include horns and spiky teeth which turns it into an immediately recognizable evil force. See the video below!

Inking the design is more about cleaning up the pencil drawing and improving the design more with fluid ink lines that compliment the whole drawing or design. I have often said that I use cheap gel ink pens and they are great for this process. Thickening the ink lines on certain areas helps create a solid design particularly for tattoo designs. Watch the video below for the inking stage!

The coloring stage is always the most fun as you can breathe life and color into your drawing and see it pop off the page. Crayola colored pencils were my art equipment of choice for the coloring. And as I have said before the Crayola range of pencils and art markers are cheap but top quality to produce great results. Crayola pencils are good for blending between colors and you can create some impressive results if you took your time with it (Unlike me in the following video!)

Notice that I included a few reds and the purple which was central to the evil colors of the heart. Watch the video!

How To Draw Manga Art Ebook

When it comes to drawing Manga there is an ebook which always springs to mind when thinking about it, although there are other existing physical books which are far cheaper that might give you a good insight into drawing Manga art. This ebook delivers practical information from the very basic level of drawing manga art.

Other ebooks like the Manga Expert are great as well, but I want to focus on this particular one as I own it myself. The Ebook which comes in PDF format is an instant download after you pay for it and you get a couple of small bonus ebooks with it on drawing hair and Chibi characters which are manga characters but with big heads I’m sure you’ve seen them before!

When Artists teach manga art they try and build up from the very basic level so as not to put you off from drawing. So basic stuff like drawing all the features on manga characters heads such as eyes, ears and mouth are explored and then full figures are introduced later in the ebook to give you an idea on ways to build up your manga character sketches.

The ease of reading and browsing this ebook is apparent and I’m sure when people get to grips with formatting these ebooks for drawing instructions better, there will be more detailed ebooks on drawing manga and other creative stuff which will just expand any beginner Artists knowledge.

Mad About Manga is one of the best instant download ebooks on drawing the manga art form, although I’m sure there could be room for extra page updates at some point or even a brand new ebook which focuses on drawing Mech Warriors or Japanese Demons which would be cool.

Take a look at the ebook information page and see if this will help you draw manga art….

By the way. Is there anything else you want to know about the ebook? Just let me know and I’ll do my best to answer in the comments below.

How To Draw An Evil Face

I thought why not draw an evil face much like a cross between a Demon and a Vampire I think with this one, but you can see that this could be inspiring stuff to try and draw. Drawing evil faces has always been fun for me and trying to think up some nasty looking creatures that all share the similar sharp and spiky teeth as each other.

For now, I have two videos. The first one is the pencil drawing of our evil face idea and it’s a make it or break it situation in the early sketching stage and you have to make it count. Here is that first art video….

YouTube Preview Image

The inking process is a straight forward way of straightening up the evil face design and getting rid of the pencil graphite work if you wish. Inking anything requires you to have a steady hand to make some of the ink lines look smooth and nice and even professional. I use a combination of different ink pens on many different drawings, but really I use very cheap gel ink pens that you can buy from any art store or online at Amazon.

Watch the second drawing video and see the inking process for yourself. Like many of my other videos the inking stage can be as simple or as complicated as you make it. So feel free to experiment with various inking techniques and also I’ll be doing various inking technique videos, so look out for them on this site.

YouTube Preview Image

The third and final art video was an experimental one in which I set up the coloring stage with some Crayola pencils and just colored in the evil face drawing very experimentally with a care less attitude that is apparent in the video. Sometimes this is useful when creating new design concepts as you can quickly get a sense of an idea very fast.

See how to color with experimenting with color pencils right here….

How To Draw A Zombie Skull

Drawing a Zombie skull is about sketching in a flesh skull that looks more rotten than anything else and here we have a three part video showing you how to draw a Zombie skull in the early sketching stage to the inked stage and coloring stage.

Draw A Zombie Skull

Choosing a nice soft pencil is the first step. I always use a 2B or a 5B for sketching as it always makes for good sketch lines that can be erased should you make a mistake. by sketching in the overall shape of the skull with an oval you can begin to block in the rough features as you go along with the drawing. I much prefer to build on a drawing or a sketch instead of trying to draw it exactly right first off which doesn’t always work.

Working lighter to start with and then darkening the pencil lines you are beginning to shade your drawing ready for the inking stage….

Inking The Zombie Skull Drawing

A good ink pen is essential. I however use many different ink pens, but primarily the gel ink ones that are cheap and they do fine for the purposes of inking your pencil drawings. Improving the sketch is paramount at this stage and adding details helps the design too.

Color The Zombie Skull

Blending and shading with Crayola colored pencils is what I did in the last drawing video below it’s all about knowing your colors and how to blend them and pretty much this can be about trial and error to start out with, but generally speaking the warm and the cool colors can be blended together but mixing and matching the warm and cool colors can work just as well.

See how I colored the Zombie Skull and try it yourself…
