These illustrations were created with the contents of my April Art Snacks box. It has been a while since I completed a proper illustration of my zombie critters, as opposed to a doodle. I have drawn zombie bunnies in any number of compositions and colours but I think this is the first time I have drawn a tower or stack of zombie cats. I used the warm colours (two watercolour pencils and a water based marker) for the zombie cats and coloured the zombie bunnies in shades of blue using different dilutions of ink from the blue marker. The darkest blue right at the top of the illustration is the colour straight from the nib. These were fun to draw. I hope they are also fun to look at.
The colors are pretty but I really hope none of these show up in my yard.
Ha ha! Me too. We do have a mangy fox in the neighbourhood but I would rather not encounter actual zombie critters.
I think that these beautiful, almost pastel shades make your zombies a bit less threatening, Laura. I love them. Doing the current isolation alone, I think I might even consider adopting one of the zombie cats. 🙂
Thank you, Mike. Maybe a zombie cat would prove to be a great companion.
Even my most evil cat was not as evil looking as those ones – but the teeth were similar! Although, as Mike above says the pastels soften them a bit.
Thanks, Anabel. I like trying to find that line between them being whimsical and horrific. I want them to be somewhere in between.
I think these are so fantastic. I would hug them and fear them at the same time.
Ha ha! I am so pleased. I want them to look weird and off-putting but not horrific. Mission accomplished.
I have somehow lost the ability to get email notices of your posts/. There is no way to resubscribe (yours isn’t the only blog this has happened with) so I will add you to my list to check daily. I hadn
t seen you post since the Great Lockdown and figured something might be up. Glad to see all is as well as can be expected.
Thank you. I suppose there isn’t so much for me to post about during lockdown life. I’m posting more regularly on my other blog right now because I’m doing a drawing challenge.
Loads of fun to look at!!! Love the tower composition/patterns!!!
Thank you, Sue. Zombies are always fun to draw.
those are really cool, thanks for sharing
Thank you!
