BASIC INFORMATION FOR THE LESSON ON HOW TO DRAW A Zombie

Zombies, like other monsters, have long ago staked out their place in cinema and other forms of art. In this zombie drawing tutorial we will teach you the coolest way to draw this monster.

So, what do you need to know to draw a zombie?

When drawing a zombie, do not forget that you are drawing a person, so all the principles that apply to the process of drawing a person apply to drawing a zombie body.
Unlike humans, zombie movements are as unnatural as possible. This is what usually scares us. When drawing a zombie, try to convey the unnatural movement and look of the monster.
Zombie clothing should also be different from normal human clothing. If you draw a zombie in a clean and new suit, it won’t look as convincing.
In addition, when drawing zombies, you need to pay special attention to detail. Scratches, empty eye sockets, etc. make your zombie drawing even more cool and cinematic.

So, if you remember everything, and if you already have all the necessary supplies ready, then let’s get started with the zombie drawing lesson!

How to Draw a Zombie Step by Step

Step 1 – Sketch the basic outlines of the zombie.

In this step, you need to outline the outline of the zombie on a piece of paper, find the right composition and come up with a pose. Use rough and light lines, moving the pencil over the paper in quick movements.

Step 2 – Outline the main parts of the zombie’s body.

At the top, sketch the outline of the zombie’s head. Next, outline the outlines of the torso of the limbs. Try to convey the zombie’s pose. He can barely stand on his feet, but at any moment he can suddenly run towards his victim.

Step 3 – Start sketching the outlines of the details.

Draw lines of symmetry on the zombie’s face. Then outline the outline of the T-shirt and shorts with clear but light lines. At the end of the step, draw the outlines of the fingers and details of the monster’s legs.

Step 4 – Draw the zombie’s face.

Using the lines from the previous steps as a guide, draw the lifeless eyes of the zombie, the outline of the nose and protruding teeth. On the sides of the head, draw the outlines of the ears.

Step 5 – Detail the zombie’s head.

Using long smooth lines draw the monster’s hair. Next, detail the outline of the mouth and create the outline of the jaw. Then draw the neck muscles with several lines.

Step 6 – Draw the top part of the zombie’s clothing.

The zombie in our example is wearing a T-shirt, and as is typical for zombies, the T-shirt is as torn as can be. Using smoother lines, first draw the outlines of the torso and sleeves of the T-shirt, then draw all the flaws as in our example.

Step 7 – Draw the arms of zombie in detail.

When drawing hands, remember proportionality. Try to alternate adding details to the right and left sides. This will make your zombie drawing look more proportional and symmetrical.

Step 8 – Detail the bottom part of the zombie drawing.

Start with the shorts, drawing them as ripped as the T-shirt. Then move on to the legs and gradually add details to this part of the body. The outline of the legs should be loose and uneven.

Step 9 – Erase the guide lines from your zombie drawing.

Once you have erased all the auxiliary lines, begin to add more expressiveness to the drawing, making the lines of the artwork clearer and more contrasting. In addition, you can add some details that are not in our example.

Step 10 – Color the zombie.

To color this monster we used swamp green for the skin, black for the eyes, gray for the hair, pink for the t-shirt and gray for the shorts. If you want to make your zombie drawing more dimensional, add more halftones to it.

So, the zombie drawing lesson has come to an end, and here we want to give you some useful tips that will help make your drawing even more interesting and cool.

In any art, contrasts look very interesting. Of course, you can draw a creepy monster walking towards the viewer, but the drawing will always be much more interesting if you add unexpected details to it.

For example, the most unexpected and contrasting detail in such a drawing would be if you draw a zombie holding a rose in his hands. This will immediately make a simple zombie drawing look like something that has a story.
