Drippy Zombie

We're drawing a weird, drippy zombie using fineliners, with a few pencil guidelines to help us get started. The whole thing is built around wonky lines, chunky features and loads of drips, before finishing it off with spots, wrinkles, hairs and other little details.

Exploding Clownfish

This clownfish started life as a mistake. After accidentally smudging one during a workshop, I covered the mess with big drips and splats — and the exploding fish was born.
