How to draw Scylla

As you probably know, the team of Drawing For All is very fond of myths and legends, and also very fond of drawing different characters from these myths. Especially we love characters from ancient Greek myths, many of which are already on our website. And today’s lesson on how to draw Scylla will replenish this topic.

 

Step 1

This is a very unusual and strange character, and its stickman will also be extremely unusual. In this step we will outline the upper part of the skeleton of the Ccylla, consisting of the head, spine, thorax, hands and snakes behind the back.

In this step we will outline the bottom of the skeleton of Scylla. First of all, we sketch a huge circle at the bottom. With the help of light and strongly curved lines sketch the tentacles in the lower part.

In this step we will make the Scylla figure more voluminous. With the help of simple geometric figures draw outlines of the torso and arms. Then add some volume to the bottom and tentacles. Also do not forget to draw hair and snakes.
