1
Lightly draw a circle with your pencil to outline where the skull goes.

2
Draw the eye sockets --- these are generally large, dark holes in the skull.

3
Draw the nose. It should be triangular in shape and may have an indent in the middle.
-
4
Sketch the cheekbones and chin. The cheek bones jut out, while the chin pulls in sharply to create an angular and scary-looking face.
-
5
Sketch in the teeth. Start lightly, as this part can be a little tricky. Define individual teeth first, then go back and darken the lines.
-
6
Draw the basic shape of the crossbones behind the skull. The ends tend to be bulblike and rounded, while the bones themselves are straight.
-
7
Shade in and perfect the bones and skull. Add texture, shadows and other details. Consider adding cracks or holes for added effect.
