How to Draw Zombies

Realistic Zombie

Sketch a silhouette of the Zombie.

Add fine details like a rugged hair using small slanted strokes that appear like unkempt hair. Draw the eyes using pea-like shapes, add a circle inside for the eyeball. Sketch a broken nose, cheek bone and maybe a little bit of unshaved beard.

Draw the Zombie’s clothes.

For an even more rugged and dirty effect, sketch random small lines all over his face and body.

Color the drawing. Choose the colour palette that makes the Zombie look pale for a more dramatic effect.

Add a shadow effect by darkening a few areas on the Zombie’s body.

Adding blue tones especially on the eye sockets and other hollowed areas of the face help make the Zombie look pale and scary.

For final touches, add streaks of red for the blood coming from the Zombie’s victims.
