Err...can you go into more detail about the glowy-dealie? I'm really really dumb and yeah...


I'm going to take a wild stab and say that it's just an outerglow layer style. You know what i'm talking about? there's a little button on the bottom of the layers pallete that has a little "F" type symbol in a circle, just click that and select outer glow, then the little pop-up box will...pop up...and you can fiddle with the color and size and stuff. looks like he merged the head, hair, and arm layers and then just added outer glow to it, which is how there's only glow around those bits. But that's just my guess Very Happy


That's pretty much it in a nutshell!

And lol @ your colored version, the shirt is awesome! I like the greens you chose for the skin.

Here is another little coloring tip:

You can take the fully inked (but not colored) zombie from above and put him into photoshop. Select the layer the inked art is on, and click "multiply", now create a new layer (or layer set) below the line art layer to do all your coloring on.

This will allow all coloring to come through the white part of the image, but it will leave the black outlines intact, which will keep the lines nice n' clean.

I just has to contribute my own zombietype to this, using roughly the same steps as Kidnemo.

Step 1 - Outline
Step 2 - Colors
Step 3 - Shading and (sorta) Highlights
Step 4 - Blood

PS, This zombie is not for the faint of heart, especially not step 4. Enjoy!

I am very particular to the blood that's kinda spitting out of his mouth, it was actually making me laugh out loud while I was drawing it. I was like "LOL This looks hilarious!"
