Drawing & Painting the Undead: Create Gruesome Ghouls for Graphic Novels, Computer Games and Animation - Softcover

Review from Imagine FX - This is one of the best horror art books we've ever seen. Never before has there been such a comprehensive guide to painting the macabre. --Imagine FX

Design and render unwholesome creatures that were once human or that perhaps should never have existed in the first place. Discover all the techniques you need to create a terrifying painted purgatory in a variety of media, from basic pencils to elaborate computer programmes. Find out where to look for less-than-divine inspiration; how to render and distort anatomical forms and depict various stages of decay to really give your characters the creep factor. At the core of the book are the catacombs, a directory of 30 beings to recreate or adapt to create your own designs; includes putrid mummies, macabre ghouls and reanimated zombies, each with an in-depth description, constructional drawings and close-up details.
