Materials You’ll Need:
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Black marker
- Orange, yellow, and white colored pencils
Step 1: Sketch the Head
Begin by sketching an oval shape for the vampire’s head. Divide the oval vertically down the middle with a light pencil line to create a symmetrical base.
Step 2: Draw the Eyes and Mouth
Above the center line, draw two small circles for the eyes. Fill them in with black marker and add white highlights to create a piercing gaze. Below the eyes, sketch a curved line for the mouth, giving it a slightly sinister expression.
Step 3: Create the Ears
On either side of the head, draw two pointed shapes for the vampire’s ears. Make them slightly elongated and curve them inward to add a touch of elegance.
Step 4: Sketch the Body
Beneath the head, draw a trapezoidal shape for the vampire’s torso. Keep it relatively short and narrow to maintain the candy corn silhouette.
Step 5: Add the Candy Corn Layers
Divide the torso vertically into three sections. Color the top section orange, the middle section yellow, and the bottom section white. These represent the sweet layers of candy corn.
Step 6: Draw the Arms and Legs
From the sides of the torso, sketch two pairs of thin arms and legs. Make the arms slightly bent at the elbows and the legs straight and pointed.
Step 7: Detail the Costume
Add a black cape to the vampire by drawing a curved line from the back of the torso to the ground. Draw sharp teeth on the bottom edge of the mouth and add a small collar to the neck.
Step 8: Sharpen the Features
Use the black marker to outline the entire drawing, emphasizing the contours of the body and facial features. Erase any unnecessary pencil lines.
Step 9: Color the Vampire
Color the vampire’s skin a pale shade of gray or green. Use orange, yellow, and white colored pencils to add depth and texture to the candy corn layers.
Finishing Touches
To complete your candy corn vampire drawing, add a few extra details such as:
- Small fangs protruding from the mouth
- A bat symbol or other Halloween-themed decoration on the cape
- A splash of blood or a cobweb to enhance the spooky atmosphere
