Venom’s terrifying profile view is the focus of this guide showing how to draw Venom’s head from Marvel Comics. The alien symbiote bonded with Eddie Brock creates one of Spider-Man’s most recognizable enemies, and drawing his side profile lets you capture that monstrous jaw and serpentine tongue in full detail. This angle showcases everything that makes Venom visually memorable.
Sketching Venom’s Head in Profile
With 13 steps, this tutorial walks through building Venom’s iconic side view, from the curved skull shape down to those rows of jagged teeth and the extended tongue.
Key Features of This Design
- Smooth black symbiote head curving backward
- Large white eye with angular shape
- Wide open mouth showing upper and lower fangs
- Long red tongue curling outward
- Muscular neck and upper chest visible
- White spider emblem partially showing on chest
Profile drawings challenge you to think about depth and form differently than front-facing poses. For more symbiote content, the full body Venom guide covers his complete muscular form. There’s also a Venom face silhouette tutorial if you want to practice simplified shapes first.
Following the Steps
The color system below helps track progress through drawing Venom’s head:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
Getting those teeth right takes patience since each fang varies in size and angle. For related villains, check out the Carnage face tutorial featuring Venom’s offspring. You might also enjoy drawing Symbiote Spider-Man to see where this alien costume originated.
