Zombies are made of people… PEOPLE! So, you’ll want to start off with a sort of stick man approach, and then perhaps flesh in your flesh eater with some clothes. Also, this is the time to do any rough working out things such as different head shapes and/or views.
Step 2
I continue fleshing out, tracing my initial design and adding some more details – features in the face, rips in the clothes, etc… I even try out some different hand shots.
Step 3
I again trace the previous drawing with more refinement. Since it sis going to end up being a colour drawing, I add a gut-rip so that we can see some nice juicy intestines. I also experiment with leg positions.
Step 3 Supplemental
On a separate sheet I try out some more streamlined leg positions based on the previous drawing.
Step 4
I now transfer the drawing to some Strathmore 400 series water colour paper using a simple Hb lead from a mechanical pencil. I’ve opted for leg position #2, which I think works best.
Check in tomorrow for the next four steps to drawing a zombie, Sacchetto style!
