Create a Zombie Treasure Island

1. Introduction: Now, this is a fun topic to draw. Today, we're going to create a Zombie Treasure Island. I'll show you how to turn any person, animal, or object into a Zombie. All you need with you is pencil and paper and a black fine liner to line. All right, let's get started. 2. Treasure Chest & Parrot: Here's some inspiration to get us started. This is quite a central sort of composition. So I like this idea. I think we'll stick with it. And I like the characters at the bottom, some other maybe a little floating bits around in bones or what have you, and down at the bottom of our ocean here. Maybe we'll bring in, I think, a few more characters, maybe make the treasure a bit smaller, maybe off to the side or something, and a little bit more in the background. Maybe there could be a boat coming in or I don't know, Zombie in the water or something. There's the idea. There's the concept. So let's get started with our composition. The water. I'm going to do. It's about a quarter of my page. Okay, there we go. About a quarter of the page. That's where I'm going to start the shoreline of the island, which is going to be I'll do it high ish. I want actually this is maybe a little bit off to the side, you know, like this because I'm thinking that this is a horizon in the distance. We've got the horizon distance. I think we still show a little bit of sky because there could be maybe we have a zombie sun, maybe that's the zombie sun up there and zombie cloud or I don't almost wind. It's be head flowing through there. But let's start here. There's the island, a half circle for your island. And enough space below here to get in our Zohar. He'll be somewhere around here and maybe another fish or two. Just some light little shapes so I can imagine where those characters are going to be. And then in to our island. We want the treasure. It's going to be fairly prominent and central, I'm imagining. So maybe a cloud maybe rains down into it or something. I sketch in a rectangle for that. For this, nothing has to be perfectly straight, It's a angled rectangle, right? So I just sketch that in. I don't know. It's about A little bit less than one third of my island width. Something like that. I want to leave space for maybe a character here. Maybe I don't know. Maybe some popping up there's a hand or something popping up out of the sand, something like that. Maybe we're going to do a palm tree. You get in our palm tree. My son might be go with my son over here. Okay. So at this stage, I'm just planning out approximately where I think my characters and are going to kind of go. And the main big features of my drawing, I don't want to get the sun in. I want to get the good palm tree in. This will be the treasure. Okay, T's the clouds, things like this, can I can move that along, right? So play around with it. This is lightly sketching in some rough shapes. Just imagining where things might appear. What else did I say, Oh, possibly a little boat little maybe blob here blob might be coming in or trying to escape. He's probably trying to escape. There we always say he's got a sailboat or something. There's a rough composition to get us going. Maybe another character out here in the water. I'm not sure. Let's start with since it is a central composition, let's start with the actual treasure, okay? Let's sketch that in and then build our composition around. Build our characters up around. So I will make treasure is tiny bit smaller. Okay. Okay. There we go. This is the main part of the treasure. Maybe it's locked with the lock is a skull, a little skull. It's somewhat open, a little bit open. Inside is our treasure. I don't know what that is. I guess they collect brains. Here's brains inside. That's our treasure. You can make it whatever you want. There we go. There's the treasure chest. Okay. And I've just time to make mine a little bit narrower here. Make sure that have enough space around for the rest of my composition and characters. And I give it a couple little a little bit of detail here. It looks like little little bolts down it, you know, something like that. When I said I was going to do a nice little little skull here. Yeah. That'll be a little detail on there. Whatever other details you. You could have a little character sitting up here, you get a little Zombie pair or something. I think about that. I think I'm going to leave it plain, but it's not a bad idea. It's not a bad idea if you want to put a little, you could do a little little zombie pair it up here. If you want to let's do it. Let's do here I'll move the cloud over. And let's see what's he going to look like. What's got a big beak. He's mainly be. And one big eye, one little eye. I guess he beat here, I have to have a little you know he's got a chunk taken out of it. He's zombie. And his wing his wing is broken. You know, it's like, he's got one feather this way, one feather this way, make a little kind of jaggedy lines. Those are not very nice feathers. And one eye is going to be here. We'll do him like he's got, you know. He looks at concentric circles, and the other eye is just blank, okay? Just blank. And I'll leave him at that, you know, might want to put a scar here a little scar across his belly. That he just perches up there, okay? I don't know if maybe he doesn't he's got 1 ft. He's got 1 ft there. I don't know what's happened to the other foot. Okay. So you can leave your treasure plane if you want to, but that's outline there. So I think it looks good with Zbar. Starting with his eyes. Starting with this. Nice little concentric circle eye, and then there's a nice little little plane eye there. Then comes his beak, which is corcking head plain he's still got his brain, this guy, and then just some bomb here. I'll make this feather a bit more crooked. So here that's his wing go bad I'm skipping the foot. I'm I'm not giving you any foot. I think that's enough detail for him. It's enough for him and he is that on top of our treasure chest. Oh, he might have been nice with a patch, like, but anyways. Leave him like that. And you know, the details along along the treasure test, you know, that kind of thing. I sketch fairly quickly. I don't know, I don't worry too much about it looking perfect, right? Here's our. This is this block. A little skull. I could have turned in to do OBT but name is her just black in the eye skull. Oh, it inside, I forgot. Most importantly, is our treasure of brains basically, I just picturing drawing some little clouds there are brains little bits falling out here, you know. Maybe we're going to have characters walking in there delivering brains of the background of my. Chest top part of the loss there. I don't know how its exactly. 3. Zombie Girl: Good start to hour Island there. Now, let's come down to. We can do the water or the characters here, okay? Because this is a central design, I kind of like to work out. All right. So maybe why don't we do one little? We'll do a first little zombie here, right? And then and then go down into the water. So let's do her she's a girl, but name is here she is, so we're going to do I'll make her head square. Okay, here she is. She is she's on the beach. She's maybe, you know, she lost her body he's lost her body. S'veen chopped off. Maybe she's been eaten by the shark, partially by the shark. And make the head her focus, right? And Zombies. A lot of the look comes from the eyes. So I want to give myself a lot of space to do some fun eyes. Okay. And I'm going to make the ma symmetric go like this. One big one one small one. Maybe I'll chop off part with you here. She's going to have chopped off eyelids like that, and maybe one eye could be staring straight out, you know, or maybe none. Sometimes nice blank expression is good. Let's do blank on her. And I think she's going to be here, she's going to I'll give her some kind of a she's a little bit like she's screaming here. We give her some nice unattractive teeth you know. One tooth on top here. One tooth on top. She's got a lovely one tooth left up there, two teeth on the bottom. Oh dear. And it will show her brain, her you know, she's her her That's a little jaggedy line, okay? That's she's got a brain. She's she's been hit by an axe. I don't know why we there. She's got an axe tire. All right. And drawing this, you know, just picture what picture the shape. You know, it's like drawing a little cloud there, it's her brain. And should you might want to do here Maybe her eyeballs coming out. I don't know if I'm going to do it. Okay. I'll do it. She's her eye. Here's she's lost it in the sand. You know, it's falling into the sand. Okay. You have fun with it. Whatever you think might be oh dear. There she is one eyeball. One eyeball stuck in the sand. Does she have any arms? Yeah, she'll part of an arm left it's been chop. The other one. She's got a lot the partial arm. She hasn't had a very good here. She put her in she's got her bathing. She's got part of her bathing her bathing on top of her bathing sit. She's got a bikini or something. The rest of her is gone. Oh, let's do she have a ponytail. How are we going to make her look? Let's give her a little here. There's a ponytail. Okay. And I guess it's I'll make it a bit. Hair sticking out here. She looks jaggedy like this like this pair it there. Oh, there. She's good. I like her. I like her. Let's outline her. Yes first. Now, the eyeball coming out, the first thing I want to do is this little I don't know sure what this part is called, but whatever attaches your eye into your eye socket, line that first because it's on top, right? Okay. Rest of my eyeballs quite a large. I don't know how that big eyeball got out of there, but never mind. And then here's her other I think I'll give her some lashes here. She chopped off that I'll give her some kind of, you know, not terribly attractive looking lashes. Here's her mouth. I don't know what happened to her nose. But anyways, worry about that want to blacken in that mouth. And then around the rest of her. I could have given her some bangs or something, and maybe she has, you know, a little bit more straggly hair stuck up there. And here's girl with an axe in her brain. Okay. Okay. And then simply around my character's head. Not the best ponytail. Oh, well. Here's her body. What's left in it? She give her I would give her poke at. It's a little bit small. She looks good. I think she's think she's good there. 4. Zombie Shark: Let's go down and do her the predator here, who's gotten her the shark. The shark, simply a eye shape. So there's start off with my shape, right? And I play rome with it until I decide it's the right size, he's fairly big and menacing, you know, I wouldn't want his tail picture his tail kind of ending like this. I get in his basic shape. Are we going to show? We'll show his finds above the water line. Yeah I just come above the water there. That's perfect. Okay. All right. And eyes for this guy, let's let's give him a little half. Again, asymmetric, right? I want to a big big D shape there. Oh little further in. This is going to be round. Let's see what that looks like. Definitely looks odd. Let's try that. Nice big one there. Here to give a chopped off eyelid there too. How about that. I'll give another eyebrow. It's got to look mean, right? So let's give him a bit of a mean look. His mouth. I do want it open, he's going to have a open mouth. I don't like it maybe his tongue here tongue or something. You can draw something maybe he's got a part of her body in there. I'm going to I'm going to draw a big don't know he's got some I don't know what's coming anywhere. There's something coming out of him. It's not nice or whatever it is. Okay it comes. You could do it out of the big time, but I'll do that some goop coming out of him. All right. We can do nice little jaggedy teeth there. Let's do some big actually. Let's make they're going to be all over the place different directions here, there's another random tooth stuck out there. How's that? Okay. No pupils in him. I won't do any pupils in his eyes. Should he could have you could do him with his brains coming out. I don't think I will. Let's see. I'm thinking something more on the fin, I'll play around with that. Take a chunk out of it, maybe. I'll take a chunk out of it. He could have a little scar across here, maybe. He could have also be nice and b. He's going to have to he's been eaten himself, not being eaten himself. He's got maybe you can see his intestines here, okay? Open that up, jaggedy line. I just think of it as jaggedy line. Then here, a main part of his intestine here comes flowing out there, and then some other curvy bits that part folded out. Then the tail, maybe I could do a chunk out of the tail, could have a scarf I'm going to do a chunk out of the tail. He's got a chunk out of the tail. I think that's probably good. That's probably good for him. Let's a couple nostrils. We'll see on that one. When we ink him in. That's when I decide on my detailes Once I've inked him in. Starting with my character's eyes. Here he goes. Lovely. And around his body, keeping in mind the parts that have been, you know, eaten. Okay. Okay. And now my intestine op. That's lovely. And his nice little tail here. So you might need another scar on that, but let's see. Here's he's got one scar here. That's nice. And his nice jaggedy Jay teeth like this one. One, not very nice looking bottom tooth, dear. Okay. He's he's good. I'm not outlining any of the island or the water yet, leaving them. Until we get the rest of our characters. Because what if I wanted a fish chumping out of the water or somebody crawling up until I know where that is, I'm not going to do anything there. Race off my lines here though. She's fantastic. Oh, we're going to color in her mouth. I'm going to blacken that in. That's nice. You can darken some bits of the eyes. Dark blacken in the y socket, maybe a little bit on this Pew but that's up to you. You can play my hair. Let's do it. We'll see what it looks like. My dad's a nice, that's good for her. Nice contrast for her. And our shark just erase off my pencil on him. 5. Zombie Hand & Palm Tree: The next part of my conversation, I either want to do. I mean, this guy put a little placeholder for a little fish guy here he's come out like this. He's got an open mouth. Sketch that in. I know where he's going to be. Let's do the palm tree. At the same time, think about what's in front of us. I was thinking of the hand coming up out of the sand. I want to sketch that in and make sure that where I place my hand is not going to interfere with this palm tree. I may have to move it over. Getting the hand in here. Here's this is a little bit of sand for it to come out of, and there's the wrist, then this square will turn into the fingers. I can plan where it's going to be my picture. There we go. Okay. The wrist and maybe there's a little chunka there, maybe we see the bones through there or something. I want his hands to look quite sort of, you know, normally, if you will, in all over the place. That's that's a thumb. Okay. So normally you're seeing the chunky a little bit of the thumb nowadays. It's been turned back, you know, it's turned back the other way. Again, I hands are hard, but I'm just thinking about the shapes. Well, a normal finger might be angled like that, right? This one, I have to remember that there's a palm there. There's the palm that shape. And then the finger is going to come out but he's a zombie so not to be perfect. So there's one finger. The other one. The other one is going to be we just see part of it. And there's a bone sticking out. There's a little bone sticking out of that part. And then, he has all four. He has all four. There's another one that goes like that. He's got that the nails the nails comes off it. And then this one's got turned back. That's the pinky for him. He's. There's pinky. He's got a nail on that. Okay. So you play around with that, have some fun with that. As the hand comes out, little little bits of dirt or sand flies off or something else, maybe there's another bone another part of the bone flies off. A few little details. Okay. So what I've done is I sketch that in and make sure it's not going to interfere with where my nice little palm tree is going to go. I's going to go here. So that should be all right. I don't want to, for example, you know, draw my palm tree so it looks it's coming out of my hand, right? So that's why. That's the point of, you know, placing the characters or objects before. For ones that are close to get, I want to make sure that I've got them sort of planned out, here's is is not very good looking hand. I'll give stocks got a nail. It's not in the right position, but that's okay. That's what we want. Okay. So there's a nice little bone coming out of it. This finger. Oh, yeah, this is the one with here. What's the nail, dear. There's not nice. The nail that's come off this one's got a nail. Then I don't know what's happened here, but his bones for there. Oh, look at this hand. And then I just, you know, a little bit of a cloud shape, so it's coming up out of the sand. Maybe here. This is one of the nails flying off and a couple little bits of sand. There's a little part of a bone, you know, whatever you want, okay? That's nice. I like that. That's a good addition there. Let's go on to the palm tree because I'm thinking the palm tree is going to be let's turn the palm tree into a zombie as well. Why not? It's going like this. So get some leaves on it or where the leaves are five. Something like that. That's what a normal palm tree would look like. Now we've got to turn it into a zombie palm tree. It needs to be a character. Let's give it some eyes. It's a girl. Here she is where the coconut, wherever we go. There we go. And how about nice open mouth. I don't know what Something something bad is coming out of this. I don't know whether it is. You decide what that is. Something bad is dripping down this zombie palm tree. We need to make the leaves here look zombie like here, this one's chopped off a little bit like our sharp, right? Let's chopped off. This one here will be bent. B that one will be bent. I'm going to bend it down leave space son my son is here. My son might need to move. There. This one. This one here have a hole in it. This one is still intact. I just want to have some goop coming off. I don't know what's happened here. There has some goop coming off it. This one has got a chunk out of it and it's goat's got a scar on it. Okay. It change and bend it around. Okay. I think that looks like a palm tree. I wonder if maybe we'll do the eye a little bit. Let's give it could be a spiral. I could do an x in there. I'm going to give it eyelids. I'm going to here's eyelid girl I'm give me he eyelashes. There she is. Let's outline her. Okay. Here, she's got crooked eyelashes. It another eyelid on there, too. And so Last pen. I forgot about that. Some sort of a shank and she's got a nice little scar on her. And something coming off of there. I don't know what that is. Okay. I'll give a little background to that as if there's, you know, this shows like it. She's got an open mouth, right kind of thing. And here I'm not going to draw on the whole the whole part of the island, but I'm just going to come down to where my palm tree hits the island. Okay. I'm going to give some light little pattern across her for the trunk. You can leave that if you want. You just side what you think looks good in your drawing. I'm going to block in this part of her mouth. I think that's touchy about I like her. 6. Zombie Blob & Boat: All right. So we've got in the main central part of our design for our characters. We need to get in maybe now we can come into the small smaller parts like here, this is going to be blob. He's simplest character ever great blob per. Except should we turn blob in zombie. Maybe he's already maybe he's already been changed. And he's in his boat sail boat. Okay. And sure. Let's make Blob Zombie. I was going to make him just, you know, escape about anyways here he goes. He he can be a Zombie too. He's gone a bit. He's got one eye up here, one eye down here. He's in process of changing Blob. And he's got his tongue out. He's he's and he's let's do Blobs brains coming out too. B brains. I'm going to do one eye actually. I go to do. I'm going to do one eye Googly. One eyes go Googly on him. There's that. And anything. I'm just going to keep I'm not going to do anything else on the on the sale. You can do a little you know, maybe you want a little flag coming off that sale. Or he could let's do a hole in it, you know, he's been he's gone through that or going through that. Maybe I know. I know. There's been this is somebody's head is beads gone through it's here she is. I don't know who she is, but it's it's gone badly for her is That's her pony tail. Okay. This is her head. Okay, She's been shot through Blobs sail. And she's out where she's gonna hit. She's going to wipe up in the water somewhere. Mm hm Lovelys race off these lines. Okay, those characters, a little bit further in the distance, at a little p. A little simpler, okay? A bit more secondary kind of character. Oh, go to do this guy. So Blob Poor Bobby. Here's brains. Oh, could it in a hole, well, I was going to do. Could could put a hole in the boat? I just thought about that. I I keep it straight simple like that. Be nice there's something coming out of the water too, but I might leave for now. Okay. I might want to put something on the flag here. I'm keeping it plain. And then here's poor girl. That's her tongue, okay? She doing a simple round head for her with her bangs Through blobs. Oh, dear. He, pole. She's spinning around and flying. There we go. 7. Zombie Sea & Sky: All right. Last characters. We'll do this fish here. I think a little more maybe something in the water down there. So bones or some I don't know, brains or something floating around. Then our cloud And I don't I have enough up here. I don't know if I'm going to do the sun, you know, and I have something round already in my composition up at the top. So I think you know, I might ignore the sun. You decide if you want to add that in and there's that's going to be a zombie cloud. Or you put the zombie sun here, either way. And then let's come down here and finish off the bottom of our picture, okay? So this nice little zombie, I Purana or something here, here. Simple he looks a little bit like a Pac Man. Here's a simple circle for this character and plain half circle shape for his tail. Let's do I'm going to do him as I'll chop off his eyes. One full circle, chopped off eye. That will be nice. He's got he don't teeth because he's got some sort of weird tongue coming out. I don't know. You just side about it he's going. You have a weird weird here, it's chopped off. It's been bitten off. Okay. He's got a partial long tongue coming out. And maybe I'll give him, he's he's got a couple of jagged he's on the top of his head. I don't know why. And that's it. I'll give him scar, a little scar. And maybe he's going to have an I'll give him he's got a hole in him too. I don't know what that is. Okay. And he's only got part of his fin. Okay, stops there. He probably wouldn't swim very well anyway. There we go. He's nice. Okay. Let's do him. Yeah, give him eyelid. He's got two. And around his body. Okay. And here's partial tongue. I'll give him a couple of random teeth too. He's got one nice 11k there. Another random tooth down here. There we go. I like that. That's enough detail. That's enough detail for him. Oh, we're going to do Now that we're down in the water. Let's do a few things floating. Okay. So what about? This is going to be it's a foot. Somebody's somebody's leg. There's the bow at the top of coming up. So that's Agathing like this. Just think of the shape. Rectangle there, another little's the heel. Exaggerate a bit. Make missing a few to to couple little circles for toes. That's it, a few waves so we're down in the water. Maybe there's a out here that we have a few little bits of brain. He's coming out for some bits of brain, you know, Maybe there's a I don't know what this is a part of a bone sticking out of here. I decide what that is. Another I had a couple of little bits of a little bits of brain or something, you know, floating about. Okay. So our last, you know, these little details down in this part of our drawing at the bottom. Oh, my bits of brain. That's good. And the last thing I'm going to do, I'm going to do the cloud. I'm going to do the Zombie cloud. You can add in the zombie sun if you want. Let's do this cloud here. I'm going to do. So I draw cloud shape. Number one, draw cloud shape. And I feel like he needs to rain something, but it rains I don't know, it rains blood or something. I rains blood. And let's just do little one little closed another little m zombie Zombie, There we go. And that's it. I think keep that nice simple character. Bit a bit smaller. Let's see it looks. And most important. Blood and goop. C like that. And let's see. So we just need to erase any lines. And outline the bit. So the island, you know, the water along here. Maybe a few little extra waves, could be a little wave out here a little wave out here. There's more space. You put another little character there, maybe. See how your drawings looking, how it's position. Then we've got the horizon. Sketch that in. I think we're al almost there. Oh, I do feel like Let's do quickly. Quickly, we'll do. I'm a little bit squishy, but I'm going to quickly do the Zombie sun. Okay. So if you want a little Zombie sun example, here we go. Okay. Race off that last little bits here. Okay. And you realize how sketchy, I realize how sketchy my drawing is at the start when I go and do my racing at and it's like, Oh, my goodness. All right. Quickest zombie s here is going to be small too. So if you want to add, if you've got space, add. Let's see. I'm going to actual I'll put him over here. Okay, here is. Because I'm getting squishy there. Plus, I have this character here, too, so there is a little circle for him and he's like instead of rays coming out, he's like, they go down. He's like, is b what about he's got an open mouth? I squared off open mouth. I could have his tongue coming to his tongue comes out, tongue tongue come out maybe what about some teeth? What is b teeth going to give him some teeth. And He definitely should look really, you know, there to spy release on the eyes. Let's see how this guy looks. Yeah. I think the Zombie sum was worth doing? Very nice. Very nice. All right. I hope you enjoyed our Zombie Treasure Island. And if you want, you know, add in a few more characters, I thought about doing a cro Zombie crocodile kind of thing. I was one idea drawing a little Zombie crocodile here. Oh here, I've already done him. I go leave him as to do for you there he is. Zombie crocodile. Zombie octopus. That would be nice. Zombie Octopus. Is there anything else that you can you want to add in or think of. This would also be a great one, I think, to color because you get the sun like orange, green, purply kind of colors. That would be great. You don't have to do the Zombro last minute little addition here. He needs a little chunk out of him too. There you go. Thanks for cartooning and I hope to see you in the next lesson. Thanks for cartooning. If you enjoyed this video, please leave me a review, and don't forget to share your drawings. I love seeing everyone's work. See you next time.
