Learn More About The Wendigo Drawing

Wendigos are scary creatures from Native American folklore. Learn how to draw a wendigo with a deer skull over its face.

To make your wendigo look particularly creepy, you'll use a lot of dark, gritty colors, such as tan, grey and muddy brown. These colors make the character look like a mysterious creature that lurks in the depths of the forest.

The body might look complex, but you'll only need triangles, curves and sketchy lines to make your wendigo look large and furry. If you haven't drawn fur like this before, you could practice by sketching flames.
