Hello!

Welcome to How To Draw Half Life Creatures. I am Daroy, I am 14 years old, and I live in Holland. Forgive me if I spelled something wrong or things are not grammatical correct. Anyway, I love to draw, especially evil creatures or villains. One day I found an easy way to draw a Headcrab. Later, I tried a Barnacle, and so on. I was surfing on this forum and then I thought: Hey, how would people react if I made a tutorial on drawing Half Life Creatures? My friends are always asking me: How do you draw that? So... here is my first How To Draw Tutorial. A Headcrab.

Step 1
Draw two circles, the right circle a bit bigger than the left circle, because the rear of a Headcrab is a bit higher.

Step 2
Draw the body slightly around the two circles, as shown on the picture. You shouldn’t encounter a lot of problems here. After you did that, erase the circles so you can just see them.

Step 3
This step is slightly difficult from the others ones. Draw a vertical line in the middle of each circle. Draw the legs on the outer of the circles. Look at the picture for some help.

Step 4
Now you have drawn a Headcrab! To finish it, draw the most important lines with a fine liner or black ink. If the ink is dry, erase the pencil lines with a gum.
Congratulations, if you followed the steps, you’ve drawn a Headcrab!

Optional: Step 5
You can also draw some shadows and stuff to make your Headcrab look more realistic.

I hope you liked it! I would love to see your results, if you don’t have to much time on your hands. Please let me know if it was helpful or not.

P.S: Artroy is my name on the HL Comic forum, where I posted this first.
