How to Draw a Skeleton in a Suit
Draw a skeleton in a suit in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the head.
Step 1: The head
Near the top of your paper draw an egg for the skull, a little narrower at the chin.
Tip Leave most of the page below for the body and legs.
Step 2: Big eye sockets
Above the middle of the skull draw 2 big tall ovals, a gap apart, each with a tiny white shine.
Step 3: Nose and stitched grin
Draw an upside-down heart nose. Start under the left eye, draw a smile over to the right. Add 5 stitches.
Step 4: Neck and long jacket
Draw 2 short neck lines. From the left one, draw a jacket with long sleeves, round to the right one.
Step 5: Lapels and bow tie
From each neck line draw a lapel slanting down, back in to the chest. Add a bow tie between them.
Step 6: Pinstripes
Draw 3 thin lines straight down the jacket from the chest to the hem.
Step 7: Sleeve cuffs
Near each wrist, draw a cuff line across the sleeve, from the outside edge to the inside edge.
Step 8: White hands
Under each wrist draw a mitten like the bottom of an egg, with a little thumb pointing in.
Step 9: Trousers and shoes
Start at the left hem end. Draw 2 trouser legs, back to the right end. Add shoes and the ground.
Step 10: Dark grey suit
Colour the jacket, sleeves and trousers dark grey around the bow tie and white lapels. Colour the shoes black.
Step 11: Red tie, black sockets
Colour the bow tie red, and the eye sockets and nose black. Leave the skull, neck and hands white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a skeleton in a suit, drawn by you.
