Cute Zombie

You totally got this! In this fun and super easy-to-follow tutorial, I’ll walk you through drawing your very own cute little zombie in Procreate, even if you’ve never drawn anything before. We’ll start with a simple sketch, add fun cartoony details (like wiggly hair and bite marks!), and finish it off with color, shading, and even a sticker-style glow. Grab your Apple Pencil, open up Procreate, and let’s have some fun drawing together!

Brushes used:

  • 6B Pencil
  • Studio Pen
  • Monoline

Canvas Size:

  • 2500 x 2500 pixels

Skills Learned:

  • Building a sketch from simple shapes
    We start with easy shapes to build our zombie, think squished circles, sausage arms, and fun facial features.
  • Creating line art with playful pressure
    Using pressure sensitivity, we play around with line weight to make your illustration feel more alive and dynamic.
  • Using layers like a pro
    From setting a layer to “reference” to layering shadows with clipping masks, I’ll show you exactly how I do it.
  • Adding color, light, and texture
    We use a fun palette to bring our zombie to life with soft shadows, highlights, and a bit of grungy texture (he is a zombie, after all!).
  • Finishing it off with a sticker effect
    I’ll show you a super simple trick to add a white outline and soft shadow, so your zombie pops right off the canvas like a real sticker.
