How To Draw A Skull And Crossbones

Today’s art lesson is brought to you by the Art Hub Kids…oh and it’s talk like a pirate day! Sooo…

Ahoy art mateys, today we be goin’ t’ learn how t’ draw a skull ‘n crossbones! We hope ye’re goin’ t’ follow along wit’ us, so grab those markers ‘n let’s get started.

Art Supplies

  • marker
  • paper

Coloring:

All you need for this lesson is a marker because bones are white.

Bonus Challenge:

When you’re finished drawing your crossbones, cut it out and glue it to a black sheet of construction paper. Instant pirate flag!

Also, did you notice Austin’s pirate hat? We made it, and we used the same steps from this lesson. Follow along again, but this time use a white oil pastel and black paper.
