3. How to color the perfect zombie a fun and easy guide
Coloring zombie coloring pages maybe a challenge for someone because of its nature color. Moreover, you may wonder how to make them as scary and creepy as it looks on TV.
I must say that, it is not that important, just follow your gut and creativity. However, I’m here with you to make you more confident by sharing some tips. You can refer to them when you find difficult in the coloring journey.
3.1. Start with Zombie Skin
What do you think is most outstanding feature of a zombie? My answer will be its skin because it is not like human skin at all. It’s usually pale, sickly, green and even rotting. It’s make me feel trembling even when I only think of that image.
I have some tips to illustrate the way zombie’s skin look, you can try these tips.
- Use colors like green, grey, or light blue to make it look undead.
- If you want to get really creative, mix two colors. For example, start with grey and add a little green in some spots.
- To make the skin look realistic, use darker shades of the same color to add shadows. Shadows can go on the edges of the face, hands, and feet to make the zombie look 3D.
Try adding a few “spots” on the skin, like darker patches or scratches, to show the zombie has been through a lot. Using this tip will make your zombie coloring pages more vibrant and lifelike.
3.2. Give the Eyes a Creepy Look
When you color zombie coloring pages, don’t forget to focus on the eyes. The eyes are important characteristic that make zombie more scary. You can make one eye look normal and the other look scary to give your zombie a unique look.
- Color the area around the eyes with dark shades like black, grey, or dark brown to make the zombie look tired and eerie.
- For the eyeballs, use bright colors like red or yellow. These colors make the zombie look extra creepy.
- If you want to make it even scarier, leave one eye blank and color it white, as if the zombie is missing an eye.
3.3. Color the Zombie’s Clothes
I think everyone knows that zombie’s clothes are so ugly, dirty and ripped everywhere. However, if you once played Plants and Zombies, you can find some zombie wearing sparkling clothes or baseball’s suit.
I mention that for you to know that, you don’t need to stick to one style. You can think out of the box anh make you zombie unique as you want. Zombies don’t wear nice, clean clothes.
For a classic look, you can see this idea:
- Use dark colors like black, brown, and grey for the clothes. These colors make them look worn out.
- Add rips and tears by drawing small zig-zag lines on the pants or shirt.
- Use light brown or grey to draw dirt smudges on the clothes. You can also add small red spots to show bloodstains.
Another way to be creative is to think about in your zombie coloring pages, where your zombie came from. If it’s a farmer zombie, you can draw overalls. If it’s a zombie from school, you can color a messy uniform.
3.4. Design a Spooky Background
Sometimes, the background is even more important to create spooky vibe than the zombie itself. Or at least, a good background will make your zombie outstanding. If in your zombie coloring pages have these elements, you can refer the way I color them:
- Paint the graveyard with dark green, greys and black to make it mysterious.
- Add a haunted house in the distance with glowing yellow windows.
- Create a forest of bare, creepy trees by drawing thin, twisty branches and coloring them with dark brown or black.
- To make your zombie coloring pages more exciting, you can add little touches like bats, spiders, or a full moon to your background.
3.5. Add Blood, Wounds, and Scars
Zombie coloring pages can’t be fully fun if don’t have blood, wounds and scars, right? If your coloring pictures of zombie don’t have this, you can create them by yourself. However, nothing which is overdo is good, so keep everything harmony.
- You can use red to color scratches, bite marks, or dripping blood around the mouth and hands.
- You can draw scars on the face or arms. To make scars look real, draw a thin line with red and outline it with black.
- If you want, you can make it look like parts of the zombie’s body are falling apart. For example, draw bones showing through the arms or legs.
3.6. Make the Zombie Unique
After you have painting basics done zombie coloring pages, it’s time to add your own special touch. You can make your zombie a part of a story. Is it searching for brains? Is it lost in a forest?
Draw something in the background to show its adventure.
- Give your zombie accessories, like a hat or a backpack. Maybe your zombie is a rock star with a guitar, or a pirate with an eye patch!
- Add funny details to make it less scary. For example, color the socks with bright stripes or give the zombie goofy shoes.
- Use glitter pens or metallic markers to add a magical or glowing effect.
3.7. Final Touches for the Best Zombie Coloring Page
Once your zombie and background are done, step back and look at your work. Does it feel like something is missing? You can add final details for your scary zombie coloring pages like:
- A spooky fog or mist by lightly shading the background with grey or blue.
- Shadows around the zombie to make it stand out more.
- Small details, like cracks on the gravestones or glowing eyes in the trees.
If you want to make your zombie page look more dramatic, use black or dark blue paper instead of white for the background. It will make the colors pop!
