How to draw a zombie

Six steps, one pencil, about twelve minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your zombie to life.

Draw it step by step

Six steps to a zombie

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the head

Draw one big circle near the top. Wobbly is fine — a wobbly head looks sleepier.

2

Add the neck and shirt

Two short slanted lines under the head, so it leans to one side. Then a baggy shirt with a torn zigzag along the bottom.

3

Give it a sleepy face

Two half eyes, flat along the top and round underneath. Add a little nose and a lopsided smile.

4

Arms straight out

One long arm out to each side, one a little higher than the other. Hang a mitten hand with a thumb off the end of each one.

5

Bendy legs and big shoes

Two legs with knees that bend out to the sides. Park a big shoe under each one.

6

Finishing touches

Flick seven short hairs off the top of the head, then sew a patch onto the shirt. Now this zombie is yours.

Now draw a zombie who only wants a hug.

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper zombie into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little arm sway below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.
