How to Draw a Zombie Head

Step 1.


Start out by picking your pencils. I used an F pencil for sketching/lines, 3H and H pencils for light shading/lines, and a B pencil for dark lines/shading. I also used an HB pencil to shade in the background.

Step 2.


Start out with a basic sketch of the zombie's head. Use the guidelines if you need them.

Step 3.


Be sure to erase any unneeded lines.

Step 4.


Now roughly and softly shade over the zombie. You can use an HB pencil and a cloth for this. As long as you can still see your lines afterwards, any technique/pencil will do.

Next, work on the middle of the face. Shade and define the ears and nose. Add in some scars and cuts here and there.

Step 10.


Move down to the mouth. Lightly define the teeth with a 3H or H pencil.

Step 11.


Go ahead and detail the mouth. Make it as gross as you can. Dirty teeth and all. Add in wounds and scars around the mouth.

Step 12.


Next, define the jaw and the shirt. Try to make the shirt look filthy. I use an HB pencil and a blending stump for this.

Step 13.


Finish up the drawing by shading in the background. You can also go back and add in extra wounds/ scars to the zombie if you want to. I went ahead and changed up the eyes a little bit and added more blood stains to the zombie's skin (for example, und
