When students are learning how to draw popular Halloween characters, sooner or later they will want to learn how to draw a Vampire. They have such a history, and are the focus of so many books and movies, it's no wonder lots of children (and adults!) are fascinated with them.

If your searches for a good vampire tutorial though were only resulting in the more PG rated versions, then you are in luck. There's no reason why students can't draw the classic look of one, without getting into the creepier bloody details that some other lessons may have. You know, with the kind of details that might keep you up at night.

This vampire tutorial shows students how to draw a G-rated version, with the pointy hairline, the spiked teeth, and the cape. There are even hypnotizing eyes that are easy to draw as floating red circles. That's an easy detail anyone can add!

Lastly, a little more body drawing practice is always a good thing. This vampire's fancy clothes have been simplified so students can do just that. In real life, there are a lot of details that come with a suit and tie and cape, but all the shapes here are easy for young artists that are just learning how to draw.

Materials for a Vampire Drawing

Pencil. The Ticonderoga brand are the most reliable, make nice dark lines when you need them, and are the easiest to erase. Buying the pre-sharpened ones will save busy teachers a lot of time.

Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tip erasers, especially when erasing leftover pencil lines after tracing.

Black Sharpie Marker. These fine point permanent marker pens make nice black outlines, have a good tip for coloring, and never bleed when they get wet. Use them with good ventilation and add extra paper underneath to protect your tables.

Prang Crayons. These are a bit softer than other crayons so they sometimes look like oil pastels. They also have a some nice brown shades that Crayola does not have unless you buy their larger boxes.

Crayola Crayons. The reliable brand that always works well. The 24 pack has some of my favorite golden orange and yellow colors that seem a bit richer and warmer than the ones Prang has.
