How to Draw a Zombie

Bys: Abbott, Zoey and Wagner, August Jeffrey

When it comes to drawing zombies, embracing imperfection is the way to go in this tongue-in-cheek instructional picture book narrated by a zombie.

So, you want to know how to draw a zombie, huh? Luckily, we found a zombie who knows all the zombie-drawing secrets.

Here's its top advice:
Art supplies. Include glue in case your hand falls off. Start with a head. A lopsided square is excellent. Or a parallelogram. Add some wonky little lines for hair, too. We aren't going for Prince Charming here. Draw eyes--definitely not the same size Draw a nose--remember, just a slit. Now give it some teeth, say, about eighty. And they have to be HORRIBLE.

And maybe your zombie wants a pet? Or a car? Or some cake? It's a good idea to keep your zombie happy at all times. One mingy slice of cake's not gonna cut it

Insider info? The glue also works on heads that roll off. And remember, when it comes to drawing a zombie, a BAD zombie is a GOOD zombie.
