In this tutorial, I will be drawing myself in a Tim Burton-ized way. You can draw anyone you'd like, this is mostly for the basic outline if the body. 😊

First, draw a circle. This makes it easier to draw the shape of a head.

Draw the rest of the head. Tim Burton usually has his characters very thin with a hallow face. (i guess thats how you'd word it..?? Haha!)

Now draw the neck and shoulders. I also began to draw the outside of the arms. The neck is thinner and the shoulders will be somewhat sharp.

Add a skirt or pants. I gave mine a tattered-looking skirt. This is where I begin to add details to the character.

Add legs. Yes, theyre very thin and the feet should be TINY. If youve seen Corpse Bride, you'll see what I mean.

Add a shirt. Mine has an oversized sweater. And ADD COLLARBONES!! It makes the character look skeletal, and Burtonized.

Add hair. My hair is curly, so I swept the hair to the side and put a few Burton style swirls in there. And i have very choppy bangs. Girl hair tends to be very long for Burton characters.

Draw the face.  The eyes should be round, dark, and look somewhat restless. The face should be hallow.
