It takes a lot of skill to draw an evil skull that actually looks menacing and scary. A beginner would be wise to follow my lead if they wanted to become more successful in the creation of their darkly themed artwork. Instead of a step by step tutorial, I’ll just casually tell you about a couple of things that critiques look for when judging these types of sketches.

If you’re not too scared, you can check out the close up of my evil skull drawing on the right, and try to notice the things in the image that have been added with the precise intent of sending a shiver up your spine. Right off the bat some jerks might point out that skeletons don’t have ears, and then they might say something about how ears are made out of cartilage — not bone. That may or may not be true, but skeletons are like ten times scarier when they have a place to hang their dangling pentagram earrings. A 666 sign on the forehead reinforces the satanic religious message that this particular skeleton is promoting.

A sure fire way to make a mandible look scary, is to give it a huge set of saber tooth tiger teeth, and then prop a Cuban cigar in there. Some people tend to think that a joint would be more evil than a Cuban cigar, but they are wrong because Cuban cigars have no medical purpose and have a higher tar content, which makes them worse. Plus, who would be scared of a stoned skeleton.

Money signs have been added to the eyes because money is the root of all evil, and a crossed set of bones are hanging in the background so that people will know that the skull is in the immediate vicinity of poison … which is evil. THE END.
