Step 9: Draw in Jack Skellington's nostrils above the horizontal construction line on either side of the vertical construction line. Draw them so they look like upside-down water drops. Darken in the shape of Jack Skellington's mouth and draw a series of lines across it to make his teeth. Make sure his teeth and mouth aren't too perfect. Draw more random lines to give him character.

Step 10: Darken in Jack Skellington's bowtie and draw curves to close the gaps on the sides. Draw two small circles inside the bowtie triangle to make bat eyes. The end result will look like a small bat head with large batlike wings.

Step 11: That's it! You now have a nice sketch of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. You can stop at this quick drawing for a rough, sketchy look or go for a more finished look by continuing to the step below.

Step 12: For a more finished, inked look, carefully draw over the final sketch lines with a pen or marker. Wait for the ink to dry, and then get rid of every pencil mark with an eraser. You now have a finished inked drawing of Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas! You can stop here or go to the final step to complete your Jack Skellington drawing.

Final Step: For a completely finished Jack Skellington drawing, you have to color it. You can use markers, color pencils or even crayons! Jack is a very easy character to color. Just color his eyes, nostrils and bowtie black. That's it! You now have a completed drawing of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.
