How to Draw a Zombie Hand Coming Out of the Ground

1. Outline the fingernail with a rectangle, then draw a curve on the left and two lumpy shapes on the right. Underneath, add a vertical line and a number three shape. Sketch two wavy vertical lines and tiny ovals.

Complete the hand with a semi-triangle and diagonal line on top and a wavy line on the bottom. Sketch dashes on the thumb.

2. Draw an uneven oval near the top, then outline the finger with two wavy lines. Add dashes inside the finger and a small rectangle for the nail.

3. Repeat the previous step, using two rectangles for the fingernail. Connect the fingers with two short curves.

4. Draw a semi-oval with a moon shape inside it. Add two vertical lines with bumps at the top, then sketch lines inside the finger.

5. Add a square inside an uneven oval, then cut a triangle out of the square. Draw two vertical lines and an oval to the right.

Sketch a wavy line below the finger, and connect it to the other finger with a V-shape. Draw lines inside the finger and nail.

6. Complete the palm with a vertical line that ends in a curve, then sketch long and short dashes inside the hand.

7. Draw the arm with two wavy vertical lines, highlighting the wrist bones.

8. For the dirt, draw several loopy hill shapes surrounded by small ovals and narrow triangles. Make them look rough and uneven.

9. Finally, draw ovals, lines, triangles and sketchy shapes for texture, creating a "rotted" appearance.

Outline your zombie hand coming out of the ground with black ink. Notice that some details have thinner lines than others.

Color your easy drawing with two shades of teal, plus off-white for the fingernails, pink for the exposed muscle, brown for the dirt and green for the grass.
