365 Artwork Challenge: Halloween Series – Freddy Krueger’s Hand from A Nightmare on Elm Street (Step-by-Step)

I decided to start a Halloween drawing series with Freddy Krueger’s hand. I want to draw popular horror movies and I think A Nightmare on Elm Street is a perfect example of a classic supernatural slasher horror film. Written and directed by Wes Craven in 1984, it started the whole Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. I try to find a reference picture that doesn’t show a common scene or photos of Freddy Krueger and I found one from Pinterest that only shows his hand. I loved it right away.

So here is my artwork #71, Freddy Krueger’s hand from A Nightmare on Elm Street. I sell the original drawing on my shop at https://sketchbookgita.com

Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street – Charcoal Pencil on Paper

I used Derwent charcoal pencils for this drawing on small size Cougar A5 (5.83″ x 8.27″ or 148 mm x 210 mm) 220 gsm paper. And here’s some step-by-step progress shot of this drawing:

Here is a preliminary sketch of the drawing. I traced the original drawing as detailed as possible.

I always try to draw systematically from left to right and top to bottom to avoid smudging the drawing.

That is all guys, hope you liked it. Have an awesome day! Don’t forget to check my shop at https://sketchbookgita.com if you’re interested on purchasing my original drawings;)
