Learn More About The Zero from The Nightmare Before Christmas Drawing

Zero is a ghost dog that appears in a famous stop-motion film. Learn how to draw Zero from Nightmare Before Christmas for your next Halloween project.

In The Nightmare Before Christmas, Zero is Jack Skellington's pet. Since Zero is a ghost, you'll use a lot of curves and wavy lines to make him look like he's floating in midair. His bottom half has a scalloped edge like a fluffy cloud.

Zero is easy to color because most of his body is white. However, he's still a three-dimensional character, so you'll have to carefully place grey shadows on the edges of his figure. His nose is a pumpkin with a shiny oval on top.
