How to Draw a Zombie Head
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.
2
Start out with a basic sketch of the zombie's head. Use the guidelines if you need them.

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
