Learn how to draw and colour Skull Bot using alcohol markers, with the focus on creating simple metal effects and smooth blends. This version skips the cap so there's more time to build depth, add robot details and finish everything with crisp fineliner work.
This updated Skull Bot tutorial takes the original character and strips it back so you can focus on colour, light and shadow. You'll use just two tones to build a simple robot body before adding bold outlines, highlights and optional little worms hiding inside the skull's eyes.
Skull Bot is one of the very first characters from Korp Academy, updated with a few new details and a metallic finish. This tutorial is all about experimenting with metallic Posca pens, building a simple robot body, and finishing it with bold outlines and plenty of character.

It’s a good one for practising wonky lines, chunky metal shapes, simple shading and adding little details that make the robot feel massive.
