We all dreamed of seeing an alien as children. And everyone in their imagination had a clear idea of how it would look like. People have always portrayed aliens as creatures with huge heads. Why? We assume that they are smart and developed enough that they should have a large brain and, therefore, a large head. How to draw an alien? The two lessons below will help you with this.

Lesson One

To understand how to draw an alien step by step, just follow simple step-by-step instructions.

Step 1. Draw two intersecting circles. From the left circle, draw a line down to outline the chin.

Step 2. Connect the two circles to make a huge alien head. Add small slanted eyes under the left circle, a line for the nose, and a line for the closed mouth. Also add an ear at the bottom of the right circle, connecting it to the neck.

Step 3. Give the final shape to the alien's head and draw lines down from the center of the eyes. Now finish the torso, a little stooped, anda thick tail extending from it.

Step 4. From the forearms draw lines of crossed arms. Also draw crossed legs from the lower part of the torso. You get a suspicious-looking and obviously displeased alien, but he's pretty cute, isn't he?

Step 5. On the visible hand, draw the fingers. Also add horizontal lines along the arms and draw circles for the joints.

Step 6. Add horns on his head to make him even more unusual, and two wings behind his back.

Step 7. This is exactly the kind of alien that would come to you from outer space. Color it however you like.

Lesson two

How to draw the head of an Alien, a popular character among teenage boys?

Start with an oval. It should be curved, like a water balloon in your hand. Add space for an open mouth. Agree that the alien looks more formidable and cool when his mouth is open and sharp teeth are visible, so do not forget about the menacing fangs. Draw the teeth carefully and in detail.

Add creases under the lower jaw. Make it powerful. Then move on to the neck.

On the neck, draw the folds that should convey movement. Darken some meta. Add highlights to show moisture. It could well be blood splatter (to make it scarier).

When the sketch is ready, start tracing the drawing with thin black gelpen or marker. After careful drawing of small details, paint in black part of the skull. Add some blue to spice up the Alien a bit.

Lesson three: how to draw an alien with a pencil

You can print basic guide lines or draw on tracing paper, or you can create your own layout by following these steps.

Mark the width and height of the picture. Draw lines for the main proportions of the figure and draw a center line through the middle of the alien's head. Draw the head and torso.

Mark where the arms and legs will be, and draw facial features.

Add eyes, fingers and chest cavity.

Draw a brighter outline, outline the outlines of the soil under his feet. Now you know how to draw an alien.
