The dark Gothic style Soap Oprah aired for a total of five years, and even though there was an attempt to boost the show's popularity, it still managed to get cancelled. This tutorial is going to be on "how to draw Barnabas Collins", step by step. The character of Barnabas will be portrayed by Johnny Depp and according to critics that have already seen parts of the film; they say he makes an excellent Barnabas Collins. The movie will also have stars like Michelle Pfeiffer, and Eva Green. So what kind of figure will Johnny play? He is playing the role of a vampire, and his dysfunctional family is made up of ghouls, ghosts, werewolves, zombies, witches, warlocks, and other man-made creatures. There is even going to be parallel universes and time travel. It sounds like it’s going to be lots of fun.
