How to Draw an Alien From Alien Vs Predator, AVP
If you’re a big time fan of H.R. Giger’s works, you will be pleasantly pleased that I made this updated version of the Alien from Alien, and Alien vs Predator series. I was watching the movie the other day and thought to myself “why not make another version of the Alien that so many of us are big fans of”? I worked for about two and a half hours on the new and improved alien species and to my surprise I really like the way it came out. Another great thing about this tutorial is how much easier it’s going to be to follow and replicate because of the totally different, and more efficient way I break down the drawing into pieces, oppose to the old way I used to do things. I was going to do a realistic version but my main goal for this Alien redo was to make sure that others would be able to tackle the concept in a different way. I am however pleased with the overall outcome as I mentioned, and I think that you guys will love drawing Alien too. AVP is one of my all-time favorite movies so I had a blast drawing one of the best characters ever made by H.R. Giger. I hope you enjoy this lesson guys, make sure to leave a comment and rating to let others know what you think. I have to bounce out of here because there is some cool video game characters that I will be uploading next that I think folks will love. Peace peeps!

STEP 1.
For the first step you will need to take your time because we will be making some shapes and guidelines that will form the frame for your alien species. Start by making an oblong shape for the head and then draw a sort of oval shape for the body like so. When that is done you can make the guidelines for the arms, and torso.
STEP 2.
You will begin sculpting out the actual structure of the Alien's head and as you can see it is neatly rounded. The best way to tackle this step is to start at the back of the head and work your way down and around like so.
STEP 3.
We will now start working on getting the particulars drawn out like the elongated jawline and chin. Sketch in the surface texture on the side of the head which is what I think is the temple. Next, sketch in the stretched skin tissue that forms the mouth of this alien as well as the teeth which should be sharp and rather stubby.
STEP 4.
Continue to work on the alien's upper body by sketching out the neck. The exposed muscle tissue is what adds complications when it comes to getting the definition right. Add some shading around the neck like so to make the back look hollow. Once that is done draw the collar bone which is disc shaped and then add some detailing to texture and definition on your AVP alien.
STEP 5.
Lets move away from the body for a minute and get the spiked tail tip drawn out since the tail is going to be in front of the alien's body. The shape of the tail tip is very similar to a scorpion stinger. Take your time and then add some detailing before leaving this step.
STEP 6.
The alien has an exoskeleton body which means some parts will appear to be bone like. Draw the rest of the tail in and notice how it looks spiny. Take your time with this step to ensure that you end up with an accurate tail for this alien species.
STEP 7.
Almost done guys, here is where it starts to get complicated. Start this step by drawing the bone like spines on the back like so, and then begin sketching out the arm and hand. Don't worry about adding the detailing yet, you will tackle that task once you have drawn the spine bones and arm properly. When you feel confident that you can proceed on, begin drawing the definition and detailing. As you can see the body appears to have exposed muscle tissue. Sketch in all the detailing on the spine, arm, and hand like so.
STEP 8.
It is now time to draw out the torso of the alien. As you can see the torso looks like that of a human body. Draw in the midsection like so, and then begin to sketch out each rib bone until you have a completed upper body of this creature. Drawing the torso is very similar to drawing a human skeleton. Add some detailing and definition as well as darken the lines when you feel comfortable that the ribs are drawn in properly.
STEP 9.
Now it is the time to draw the right arm and hand. Start at the top, and work your way down until you end up at the wrist. Once that is done, draw the hand and fingers, then sketch in the detailing on the arm the same way you did the other.
STEP 10.
We have come to the last drawing step. All you have to do is draw the hips and pelvic area, and sketch in all the muscle detailing as well as the tubing that seems to go in and out of the alien's body. Clean up the sketch to prepare it for color. I will upload the finished line art step in a bit so stay tuned in for that.
STEP 11.
Here is the line art as I promised, now you know what your alien should look like once you are all done.Comments: Post Comment

i think the aliens are much like a snake. i snake cannot see, it uses its tongue to get a feel of where it is. i think what he/she meant was senses. so an alien could use the sense of smell to find it prey.

I know what face huggers are, but how would that help them see? They have no eyes either... And what are scences? No one said the Warrior aliens can't see, they just have no Visible eyes, maybe the're hidden...

BOOYA-SHAKA!!!! this is epic!!!!!

@SetsuTheFox
the aliens either see with their facehuggers, or scences. alien's scences are 135% stronger then humens.

Lets get one thing straight, Both AVP films are awful. The Alien films are really cool, the first two anyway, and so are the first two Predator movies. Cool drawing. 
asdreamsdie ~ Jan 14, 2012, 1:58:35 AM
a facehugger is the spider like thing that attaches to a human face. its what lays the egg in ur chest. once the egg is fully matured it will bust out of the humans chest. hence why they are called chestbursters. that chestburster will then become the alien/xenomorph that you see here. hope i clarified a few things.
