Everything You Should Need to Know to Draw a Vampire!

The Vampire

The Vampire

The ever hungry, pointy toofed, and generally well dressed stealer of bodily fluids!

reminder

Now I assume every single one of you know what a vampire is… but just in case… It’s a creature from folklore that feeds on life essence, usually in the form of blood. Generally has pointy teeth, talks funny, hates light and sometimes turns into a bat.

So there are, at this point, a zillion differing varieties of vamps, from endlessly counting puppets to hollywood’s daywalkers to carrot color robbing bunniculas and I don’t honestly have a preference which way you go with this… Just know this is our Halloween special, we like funny sh*t and we don’t want you to spend years on it. But if you want to spend days airbrushing some sort of gothic vampire romance novel cover… well, I’ll be glad to poke fun at your choices for you!

I’m keeping this short so I lose fewer of you in the read and you can spend your time doodling… so get the F too it! or don’t you like halloweeen?

Judgement Is Complete

The First Place Vampire EntryThe Judge’s Council has convened and verdict given! Here’s how judgement for the Vampire played out!

Judge Ken
At first my vote was going to #8 because this pretty much encapsulates what it was like eating lunch with Chip and Cody on a daily basis. But truthfully I like #7 and want it on a T-shirt

Judge Cody
want #8 now because it also reminds me of our old amazing lunches that we’ll never again get to enjoy.

Judge Sneurat
I’m going with #9! No matter how many times Sean draws beasts flying though the air, they always make me laugh – and Chip’s caption made it even better!

Judge Mona
Ummmm # 3 they look like cucumbers with bunny feet and they are frigging adorable!

Judge Me
With single votes spread all around the pressure’s on me so I’m voting from the gut , and my gut, ripe with candy is thinking that a couple of spooning vampiric tube steaks is just what this contest needed! So Congrats! And I’ll be in touch about your shirt!

Disagree if you must but know that judgement is law and to the winner a shirt will go…. Thanks to drawers and judges alike. And even though the contest is done we’ll always welcome new Vampire drawings for the archives! So draw on, and remember, 25 beasts drawn earns you a shirt!

Vampire Squirrel!!! So maybe this is a new worldwide phenomenon that I’m unaware of… but it Berwyn, it seems the fall squirrels live off the life energy of freshly carved pumpkins… Seriously like 6 hours after you put it out, the face is a gaping hole, riddled with telltale, nibble marks! Bastards!

You know Henry could easily be your evil sibling, kid, or some English pop culture reference I just miss… but instead, given the times, I chose it much more fun to believe this is a personification of Henry David Thoreau’s 1849 Essay on Civil Disobedience! (thank you high school) All that aside damn fine, psychotic, pigtails!

Haha man!… given I’ve only been up for like an hour, but this is by far my favorite thing I’ve seen this morning! I mean, the story in those eyes, those tubular, bunny footed bodies, the complete lack of scale… Nicely played sir!

Such a good old glass/dream warp to this one! I mean where are their bones! Why’s his hand so huge and why are her boobs attached to her collarbone? Not to mention their refusal to adhere to any rules of natural symmetry! All I know after viewing this, is that nothing is real… well and that the family behind them is bad news!

I assume I’ll only catch a small audience with this one… but remember how originally the Lucero deck just had the eyes behind the dungeon bars, then it started to break out, then it was that crazy eyed jester… this is a pic of when that crazy eyed jester dressed as a vampire on halloween!

Man all this makes me wanna do is sing the “Biiiiiig Trouble in Little Chiiiiiina” song, put on my porkchop express T and kick some energy vampire ass… great float btw!

Yes! Something about his clean lined minimalism that makes me want him either on the tail fin of a particularly terrifying airline, or… I’d eat the hell of Vampire brand frozen pizza… the tagline could just be “There’s probably not blood in the sauce… but you never know!”

Ok so I admit it “trick or twist” made me LoL a lil… The fact that all the talk bubbles are phallic, that the vampire has potentially a double long right arm and that somehow chained cross earring have made it back into the world… All working to this guys favor though it makes me think that someone better get on designing the 2018 Pontiac Fiero muy pronto! Cause these guys gotta drive something!

You know this looks oddly like a dead on rendering of my elementary school janitor… Now I have to wonder… Btw if I’ve never mentioned it I really do appreciate the laying on your back in the grass, “watching the beasts fly by” perspective!

Vampire? Or master Shakespearean actor? Both work pretty well! I worry that maybe his head is stealing all the bloody nutrients that those tiny tiny feet are so desperately starved for… also I bet this would make for a pretty sweet kite!
