In this tutorial we’re taking inspiration from Derek Yaniger and drawing a retro zombie-style head with Posca pens.
It’s a bold little character with a helmet, sharp teeth, eye bags, flies and plenty of grubby details.
In this tutorial, we’re drawing the zombie of the week again, this time with ProMarkers.
This one is a good chance to play with simple blending, scruffy texture, shadow areas and all the gross little details that make zombie drawings work.
In this tutorial, we’re drawing a page full of creepy kawaii zombie characters.
It’s a simple prompt-card style session where each little zombie comes out of a hole in the ground, then gets its own weird face, texture, drips, spikes, hair, teeth or other details.
In this tutorial, we’re drawing a simple zombie head with Posca pens, then messing with it.
The fun bit is changing the face after the main shape is down: making the nose bigger, popping an eye out, stretching bits of skin over the mouth and adding extra gross details.
In this tutorial, we’re drawing a zombie head with Posca pens on cardboard.
This one is a good chance to play with paint pens properly, because we build the main head first, then add extra bits over the top like the tongue, worms, cap, warts and details.
In this tutorial, we’re going right back to our roots and drawing a proper ugly zombie head.
This one is all about wonky lines, big eyes, a weird mouth, worms, warts, a cap and loads of grim little details. It’s a good one if you want to loosen up and make something messy on purpose.
In this tutorial we’re drawing a zombie Santa’s helper style character using ProMarkers. It’s a scruffy little Christmas monster with green skin, a floppy hat, dead eyes and a tongue hanging out.
In this tutorial we’re going back to an old school Korp Academy zombie, but giving it a Christmas twist with a Santa hat and scarf. It’s full of wonky eyes, messy lines, weird details and simple shapes that make the character look properly grim.
This one is all about loose lines, chunky shapes and not worrying about mistakes. Zombies are perfect for practicing Posca layers because wonky lines and weird lumps actually make the drawing look better.
In this tutorial we’re drawing an old school zombie face with a Sharpie.
Zombies are perfect for wonky lines, ugly shapes and mistakes that accidentally make the drawing better.
In this tutorial we’re drawing a severed zombie hand with Posca pens on cardboard.
It’s gruesome, messy and a good excuse to use bold colour, wonky outlines and a few nasty little details.
In this tutorial we’re taking one of the zombie faces from earlier in the week and pushing it further with ProMarkers.
This one is all about simple blending, chunky outlines and building texture with layers of colour.
