Content

The devil is a religious and mythological character that appears in many TV series, films and literature.. The fallen angel has a rich history and purpose. Due to numerous myths from different cultures, the devil does not have a common appearance - in the Bible, the character has the appearance of a dragon or a snake. You can draw the ruler of hell with a simple pencil. The black and white drawing conveys the mood and essence of the devil.

Pencils, paper and supplies

To draw a fallen angel you will need:

simple pencils with soft and hard leads. The tools will help to create light lines for sketching and hard ones - the main ones, to consolidate the obtained result;
album sheet. For cleanliness and neatness, it is recommended to use album thick paper. Such a sheet holds its shape better, does not become thinner from the effect of an eraser, and also absorbs pigment when coloring;
eraser or kneaded eraser. Stationery is used to remove unnecessary lines and reduce the intensity of the shade;
sharpener. You can sharpen a pencil either with a special device or with a stationery knife.

It is also possible to use some of the additional inventory - a ruler and a compass. For coloring, you can use watercolor pencils, paints or felt-tip pens.

How to draw a devil face

"Satan," as the devil is often called, means adversary or enemy. The Bible mentions 13 different names for the fallen angel.

How to draw a devil face:

Draw an oval figure in the center of the album sheet. Use a soft-tip pencil when drawing.
Draw a vertical line dividing the oval in half.
Visually divide the figure into 3 parts. Draw another segment with a horizontal position. The line should separate the lower third of the figure from the rest, forming a slight bend.
Pull the top of the head slightly out.
Using curved lines, create a rough relief of the skull, as shown in the picture.
At the bottom, connect the side lines, forming an elongated rectangular chin.
Draw lines in the free space on the sides of the skull. Draw convex segments from each edge, connecting them at a common point. This way you can get devil horns.
Draw a convex line above the base of the horns – the fold area, and add curved sections to the horns themselves to form the desired texture.
Using the previously drawn dimension, draw a sharp nose, resembling a rhombus with an elongated edge.
Also depict the fold of the eyebrows. It resembles a check mark or 2 adjacent sides of a rectangle.
The exact location can be seen in the example image.
Adapt the curved line of the previously drawn oval to the upper edge of the sinister grin
Using the basic lines, draw the devil's wide open mouth.
The lines should be curved and long – as shown in the picture.
Draw small details. In the mouth area, use zigzag shapes to depict sharp teeth.
Draw small elements resembling inverted jackdaws all over the head. Such details will form wrinkles.
Also add long lines to form Satan's nasolabial fold and chin.
Draw small semi-ovals under the eyebrows and draw several curved lines under them – the eyes and eyelids.
Visually measure the area so that the base line of the eyes is the middle.
Draw pointed ears. Draw folds inside.

How to Draw the Devil in Animated Style

Over time, the devil's appearance progresses. In the Middle Ages, the fallen angel was represented as a horned goat. In the modern version, Satan's appearance has retained horns, deformed through and, in some variations, a "goat" beard.

How to draw the devil in animated version:

Stage	Description of the stage	Example image
1	Draw a large oval at the top of the album sheet. Using curved lines of vertical and horizontal arrangement, divide the figure into 4 parts. From the lower border of the resulting head, draw a vertically stretched rectangle with smoothed corners. In this way, you can form a sketch of the devil's body.
2	Outline a slightly curved, irregular shape of the head. In the upper part of the resulting element, depict small horns resembling triangles with an elongated and twisted top. Place the ears under the horns. They resemble leaves in shape. Draw thin lines inside each ear – folds.
3	Draw large eyes. Draw long, slanted lines slightly above the markings. Attach semi-ovals to the resulting segments. Draw the mouth above the lower outline of the head. Use zigzag lines to draw it.
4	Draw the devil's hands. Draw several curved lines and connect them with a bend in the shoulder area. Draw 2 sharp "fingers" instead of a hand. The animated drawing does not require much detail.
5	Draw the lower part of the body. The devil resembles a minotaur with a human body and a bull's head. In this case, it is also necessary to draw the hooves and add a pointed tail.

Erase all unnecessary lines with an eraser. Duplicate the remaining elements with a pencil with a hard lead. The finished drawing can be colored or shaded - at your choice. For coloring, use a red-brown, black palette.

How to draw a little devil

The devil is not a solitary character. In his hell, Satan is surrounded by loyal servants, demons. Evil spirits of sinners fulfill the devil's desires - tempt people to sinful deeds, and also intimidate them.

Visually place a dot at the junction of the head and body. From the resulting notch, draw a long claw.
The arms are quite full, ending with a U-shaped hand. At the point where their elbow part transitions to the wrist, draw a thin line - a fold.
Do the same with the opposite side. If desired, you can change the position of the hand, or "insert" something into the character's hand.
Visually draw an inverted triangle in the lower part of the body.
Draw clothes for the little devil, and also add a small oval in the middle of the stomach.
Draw a curved long tail with a triangular shape at the end.

In many religions, the devil was previously an angel. In Christianity, he is represented as a fallen angel, in Islam, as a genie. In Asian cultures and religions, the devil is represented as a demon.

How to draw the devil in a more complex version:

Prepare a sheet of paper and a pencil with a soft lead. Place the paper vertically.
At the top of the sheet, draw a small vertically elongated oval – the head.
Draw a small segment from the middle of the lower part of the figure. To correctly construct the body, you can use the recommended diagram.
Draw the shoulder line and outline the torso area.
The devil's arms should be bent. Also draw hook-shaped fingers - the basis for the hands.
Draw the lower part of the body. The legs should be long.
From the corners of the sheet of paper, draw lines located at an angle and directed towards the leg area.
In the resulting bump, draw several semi-ovals and curved lines, as shown in the picture.
Using the drawn markings, draw the contours of the body. First, mark the shoulders and wide sleeves of the clothes.
Using polygons, draw the outlines of the hands.
Depict a thin body - a narrow waist and hips, but a fairly wide chest.
Draw long legs. Also use rough ovals to form the devil's feet.
Behind the fallen angel's back, a cloak flutters. Draw a large semicircle in the area of the feet. Connect the free borders at a single point - behind the devil's back.
The area behind the head should also be decorated with a wide collar, as shown in the picture.
Inside the previously drawn mound, outline the heads and bodies of the sinners. Draw several ovals and irregular rectangles.
Refine the resulting image.
Using two curved lines, draw the base of the horns to the upper border of the head.
Mark out several long sections – the hairdo area. The devil's curls will be long, but you can braid them or make a short hairdo.
Add lines all over the coat (including the collar). This way you can make the clothes more real and voluminous due to the folds.
Behind the back, in the shoulder area, the devil is located through. Draw a small oval for further detailing.
Also draw thin long fingers on the previously marked area.
Mark the devil's clothes - tight pants and long boots. Draw the thin toe of the shoe with sharp lines.

Detail the devil's face and clothes. Draw the heads and hands of the sinners.
Draw the spikes, belt and straps as shown in the picture.
If the drawing remains in black and white, it is necessary to erase all unnecessary lines.

You can diversify the resulting image with hellish cauldrons and lava lakes. Behind the devil's back you can draw a throne and other symbols of power.
