In this guide, I’ll show you how to draw a chibi Zombie, a fun, simple, and spooky addition to your Halloween artwork! We’ll go through the process step by step, starting from a rough sketch all the way to the final cute and creepy figure. This guide is perfect for beginners and those who want to improve their drawing skills. Let’s get started!

A Little About the Chibi Zombie

The chibi Zombie is not your usual horrifying monster. With its oversized head and cute proportions, this little creature strikes a balance between spooky and adorable. Here are a few focus points you’ll need to keep in mind:

• Big, empty eyes
• A round head with a cracked skin
• Torn clothes and ragged details
• A slouched posture for that classic zombie feel

Breaking Down the Chibi Zombie Drawing

This tutorial uses a rough sketching phase, starting with a simple stick figure as a base. We’ll build the figure step by step from there. If you enjoy drawing chibi-style characters, this process will feel very familiar. For other characters you can try next, maybe give drawing a chibi Grim Reaper or a chibi Witch a shot!

Step-by-Step Color Guidelines

When following the drawing steps, I’ll be using three colors to guide you through each phase:

• Red Color: Represents the current step you’re working on
• Black Color: Indicates the lines you’ve already drawn
• Grey Color: Shows the basic sketch and guidelines

We’ll start by roughing out the pose of the body and head before adding the details. This method helps you keep proportions in check while making the process fun and easy to follow.

Step 1 – Draw a large circle for the base of the head, with two crossed lines to center the face, then sketch small lines on the vertical line to mark the nose and mouth. Add a stick figure with joints for the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles to establish the pose.

Step 2 – Outline the side and bottom of the head to begin shaping the face.

Step 3 – Add two ears and draw some hair in the forehead area to complete the frame of the face.

Step 4 – Complete the head outline by sketching the rest of the hair.

Step 5 – Draw two circles for the eyes (one larger than the other), add two nostrils, and create a zig-zag line for the zombie mouth.

Step 6 – Add additional circles and curved lines around the eyes, sharp details to the upper lip, and a curved line above the nostrils for the zombie nose. Draw inner ear lines, simple shapes for wounds on the jaw and forehead, and two small circles for bite marks on the other side of the forehead.

Step 7 – Sketch cracks (or veins) on the forehead and the collar of the shirt.

Step 8 – Add a sleeve and forearm on the right side, creating the start of the zombie’s arm.

Step 9 – Complete the arm by drawing the hand and the sleeve part below the elbow.

Step 10 – Draw the torn shirt.

Step 11 – Sketch the other arm’s sleeve and forearm.

Step 12 – Add the hand for the second arm.

Step 13 – Draw the t-shirt underneath the shirt, adding its collar and a line to separate it from the shorts. Then draw the shorts with the torn bottom.

Step 14 – Sketch the legs and feet to complete the lower body of the zombie.

Step 15 – Observe the sketch, clean up any unnecessary marks, and fix anything that looks off. Optionally, ink the drawing and erase any pencil marks.

Step 16 – Color the drawing. You can use the provided reference image or choose your own colors for a unique touch.
