Electric Field in a Conductor

$

I have read that in a charged conductor, all the charge is located at the surface of the conductor and the Electric Field inside the conductor is zero.
Suppose we have a conductive sphere with charge Q = -4e.
Where exactly in the sphere are these 4 electrons? I know that they are "on the surface", but how exactly does this distribution that makes an Electric Field zero in ALL points of the sphere looks like?
