When students learn how to draw Sally from the Nightmare before Christmas movie, art can change from being about work that was done long ago, to something current .. and cool. Tim Burton’s classic movie gets a few new fans every year, and fortunately for us, his “look” is not all that hard to imitate!

Materials to draw Sally from Nightmare before Christmas
- Kraft Paper. Card stock paper that has a light gray or brown shade for an old-fashioned black and white look.
- SOFT Pencils. Important: Ticonderoga #2 SOFT pencils will always give you the darkest gray. Collect them and then save for all your drawing projects. The #2 Mediums will not work as well, no matter how hard you press.
- White Pencil Crayon. Prismacolor cost a little more than the others, but they always leave the brightest color. That’s especially true for the white ones.
- Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tip erasers, especially when erasing leftover pencil lines after tracing.
