AlbakiReads Editorial

A zombie’s guide to wonderfully imperfect art

Zoey Abbott turns a drawing lesson into a comic set of instructions delivered by a zombie. The steps cover the essentials—from a crooked, oddly shaped head and mismatched eyes to a slit nose and an abundance of terrible teeth—while treating mistakes as part of the design. Practical supplies, including glue for detachable limbs, and optional additions such as a pet, car, or cake extend the joke beyond the sketch itself. The book’s central idea is clear: for this particular subject, an imperfect drawing is exactly the right kind.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in drawing and art
  • Young readers who enjoy zombie humor and playful picture-book instructions
  • Families seeking a light, hands-on drawing activity

Book overview

When it comes to drawing zombies, embracing imperfection is the way to go in this tongue-in-cheek instructional picture book narrated by a zombie.

So, you want to know how to draw a zombie, huh? Luckily, we found a zombie who knows all the zombie-drawing secrets.

Here's its top advice:
  • Art supplies. Include glue in case your hand falls off.
  • Start with a head. A lopsided square is excellent. Or a parallelogram.
  • Add some wonky little lines for hair, too. We aren't going for Prince Charming here.
  • Draw eyes--definitely not the same size!
  • Draw a nose--remember, just a slit.
  • Now give it some teeth, say, about eighty. And they have to be HORRIBLE.


And maybe your zombie wants a pet? Or a car? Or some cake? It's a good idea to keep your zombie happy at all times. One mingy slice of cake's not gonna cut it!

Insider info? The glue also works on heads that roll off. And remember, when it comes to drawing a zombie, a BAD zombie is a GOOD zombie.
