How to draw 6ix9ine (art)

Melting flesh, screws embedded in the cheeks, and a forehead-spanning ’69’ tattoo make this version of 6ix9ine one of the more unusual celebrity drawing subjects around, fitting right into the Celebrities collection on the site. This step-by-step guide on how to draw 6ix9ine takes the rapper’s already extreme real-world look and pushes it into full horror territory.

A 34-Step Build Through a Zombie Horror Portrait

The tutorial runs 34 steps and covers a full-face portrait in an exaggerated horror style, not a realistic likeness. The complexity here is almost entirely in the surface detail: dripping flesh, embedded screws, distorted proportions, and heavy tattoo work all layered on top of each other. Keeping the linework clean while handling that much overlapping detail is the main challenge, and the guide paces the steps to build that detail gradually rather than all at once. The final result is line art with no color fill, so the focus stays on linework and shape confidence throughout.

Key Visual Features in This Drawing

• Long wavy dreadlocks with wrapped tips
• Large ’69’ tattoo across the forehead
• Screws embedded across a distorted face
• Wide open mouth with teeth and fangs
• Dripping melting flesh in horror style

If you like drawing in this horror-portrait space, the XXXTentacion half skull face takes a similar approach with a different kind of visual distortion, while Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams and Justin Bieber offer a change of pace with more straightforward celebrity portraits.

Understanding the Color Coding in the Steps

Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new and what is already done:

• Red Color: lines added in the current step.
• Black Color: lines completed earlier.
• Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
