how do you draw a zombie?

Answer 1

Ok, first trace the skeleton behind the flesh, and then add the flesh, but don't erase the skeleton, you may use it.
For the position: you draw a stiffy person, you know, the zombies are suposed to be rigid, some joints are hard so the person moves with unconfortable postures, maybe the hands are twisted and rigid. In some cases the artist imagines how does the person died, perhaps he died by breaking his neck, wounded severily in some parts or maybe witha beautiful hole of abullet in its head. So you may count on this, perhaps the head dangles in the shoulder or maybe to the back, or maybe it lacks of half the belly.
Then you add the flesh, maybe the flesh is wounded, festered or it is not at all, in some parts you can draw exposed bones.
The nose, ears and lips could be lose, exposing thets or bones, a great detail i always see in a zombie is a hole in the cheek.
Some draw empty eyes, some draw white eyes, but always draw black circles around it to make them look skully.
The hair is raw, loose, obviously wild maybe with dirt or clogs.
And finaly the clothes, they are rags, they wear the last clothes weared in the burial, perhaps a suit or a fancy dress, but dirt, ragged and stained.
You could think in the personality of the zombie and reflect it, perhaps is the classic slow moving men eathing menace, or maybe the radioactive one (or alien or whatever, they use to have working clothes and tools, and they are more complete), a haitian voodoo slave, stupid and souless, but less wounded... or maybe a normal moving trikster just in search of life to destroy.
Some final details:
- Blood in their mouths
- Festers
- Less fingers than normal
- Crooked feet
- Limbless
- With funny garments like smiley buttons or funny saying t-shirt
- Working outfit that no make sense like policeman, nurse or sportsmasn (since it is rotten and unhealthy)
- Some objects that reminds why it is a zombie (a badge of a nuclear plant, voodoo amulets, etc)
- Dirt (they dig usually after getting alive)

Answer 2

It seems particularly solid! the only situation i could desire to declare to alter is that the perfect suited shoulder (our left) feels like it juts out somewhat.... i'm undecided if it is meant to or no longer. additionally, the only constructive factors that make her look as though a zombie are the random scratches and stitches. in any different case she feels like a typical lady.. i assume I think of zombies to be somewhat greater morbid and frightening besides the shown fact that it particularly is an exceedingly solid drawing! you're an exceedingly experienced artist! desire I helped!

Answer 3

Zombies are reanimated corpses, so pictures of dead bodies can be used as a reference. It will vary depend how advanced the decay of the body is and your own sense of creativity. You can use films or even video games (like Resident Evil) for references.

Answer 4

Try sketching a regular person with a hunch, or regular form. Then sketch onto that the features, once you're done with that, start adding scars, erasing maybe limbs with bones hanging out, blab blah.... Just use your imagination.

Answer 5

If you're looking to draw one digitally, I found a neat little tutorial that explains how you can do so on Photoshop.
