How to Draw Zombies

by Walter Foster Creative Team

Overview

Learn how to add your own thumbprint to the ever-changing zombie legend with the secrets to drawing, painting, and illustrating the undead.

From the pages of great literature to Hollywood movies, zombies are appearing everywhere. Now aspiring artists can bring them to life, so to speak, by learning to render them with pencil, paint, and digital image-editing software. How to Draw Zombies gets into all the gory details, such as creating bloodshot eyes, forming robust brows, and imitating the look of pale, dead flesh. The book also features 15 step-by-step projects that guide artists from initial sketches to finished works of art, including a Voodoo Queen, a zombie climbing out of a grave, a zombie out for a midnight snack, a gothic zombie, and even a zombie romance.
