How to draw Alucard


The immortal Alucard is an amazingly powerful vampire. He can shapeshift into various forms, including bats, insects, demonic dogs and other human forms.


This is an extreme closeup of Alucard's head.


Begin by sketching the guidelines in 30% black pencil. He has a wide evil grin and his hat is pulled down low on his head. Put in the details with a thin, opaque black pencil, and erase the guidelines using white pencil.


Colour in his face with a transparent skintone and his eye and sunglasses with a transparent yellow. Airbrush an orange tint to his sunglasses and eye, then add a yellow airbrush highlight to the eye.


The background is done with airbrush strokes in black, transparent dark red, red, dark orange, transparent orange, transparent brown and yellow. Layer the strokes over each other for this effect.


Add highlights to Alucard's face in a lighter tone and shadows for the ear in a darker tone. Use a thin black pencil to sketch in more details and to give definition to your drawing. You'll see that I've even painted little grey shadows on his teeth to separate the solid white area.


And there you have him... a truely vampiric vampire, Alucard!
