From the pages of great literature to Hollywood movies, zombies are appearing everywhere. Now aspiring artists can bring them to life, so to speak, by learning to render them with pencil, paint, and digital image-editing software. This comprehensive book gets into all the gory details, such as creating bloodshot eyes, forming robust brows, and imitating the look of pale, dead flesh. How to Draw Zombies also features 15 step-by-step projects that guide artists from initial sketches to finished works of art, including a Voodoo Queen, a gothic zombie, and even a zombie romance.
