There are those horror movies that are more psychological like The Blair Witch Project, The Others, or Paranormal Activity, and then there are those slasher movies that are gory more so than they are scary. The SAW movie franchise is that latter, and it introduced two now-iconic horror characters to pop culture: JIGSAW (or JIGSAW KILLER), and BILLY THE PUPPET. In this two-part tutorial, I show you how to draw these two step by step!

CHARACTER BIO:
Jigsaw was introduced in the 2004 film Saw through the character Lawrence Gordon’s recounting of his first killings. Jigsaw is described as a mysterious person who kidnaps people he believes take their lives for granted and subjects them to “tests”, usually mechanical devices rigged to maim or kill the subjects if they fail to complete it within a certain time period. Unlike most killers, Jigsaw never intends to kill his subjects; the purpose of his traps is to see if the subject has the will to live, as he hopes their experience will teach them the value of life, although he sometimes places his victims in situations where they themselves must kill others in order to follow the terms that he sets. In John’s mind the deaths of those that fail are justified, because those who fail to do what is necessary to survive don’t deserve life. As his victims increase, the media dubs him The Jigsaw Killer, or simply Jigsaw, because of the jigsaw puzzle-shaped piece of flesh that he removes from unsuccessful subjects, which he explains in Saw II is meant to symbolize that the subject “was missing a vital piece of the human puzzle: the survival instinct”.
