How to Draw a Zombie: Basic Information
Ever wondered how to draw a zombie that looks like it’s just shuffled out of a spooky tale? I’ve designed this lesson to demystify the process, using a simple approach that anyone can follow. We start with basic shapes and lines to form the foundation of our undead friend, ensuring that even beginners feel confident as they draw.
The unique aspect of this zombie drawing lies in its exaggerated features. The lopsided stance and outstretched arms create a sense of movement and eeriness.

In the final steps, when you draw a zombie with the guidance I’ve provided, you’ll add the finishing touches that bring your character to life – or, should I say, an amusing state of undeath!
