It’s that time of year—Halloween and Day of the Dead—and I thought it would be fun to show you how to draw a simple, playful sugar skull.
I’ve seen some incredibly elaborate sugar skull designs, and I especially love the Zentangle-inspired versions I’ve come across here on YouTube. But for the sake of quick and easy, this TidBit focuses on a method that’s approachable, fun, and still super satisfying when you’re finished.
All you need is a pencil, a hi-polymer eraser, some smooth watercolor paper (or sketch paper), and a way to add color. I used watercolors for mine, but feel free to use whatever you love—crayons, markers, colored pencils, acrylics, inks… it all works!
This is one of those pages that’s just as fun to make as it is to look back on.
Enjoy—and happy creating! 🎃✨
