How to Draw an Xenomorph, Alien

Hey everyone, I hope you had a fun and safe Halloween! Here's a tutorial for you featuring my favorite alien creature of all time, the xenomorph, from the "Alien" movies. This creature is also one of the main reasons why I'm a fan of H.R Giger, the artist that designed it. So, get your pencils and paper ready and give it a shot.

STEP 1.

Start out by picking your pencils. I used an HB pencil for shading/sketching and a B pencil for dark shading. I also used a 6B pencil for the darkest areas.

Start out with a basic sketch of the xenomorph. Keep your sketching light and use guidelines if you need them.

STEP 9.

Now start defining your shading from top to bottom. You should rely mainly on a B pencil for all of the shading. Use a blending stump or tortillion to blend your shading. If you find yourself needing to make an area darker use a softer pencil like a 6B. You can also use an HB pencil to shade the lighter areas.
