The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
It's the Tarman from "The Return of the Living Dead (1985)". I found this zombie particularly creepy-the melted way he looked, as well as the strange way he moved.
One of the best zombie movies (right up there with "Shaun of the Dead"), which was co-written and directed by Dan O'Bannon (who also wrote screenplays for "Alien", "Dark Star", "Lifeforce", "Invaders from Mars" (the remake), and "Total Recall"). Satirical and clever, and good movie which happens to have zombies in it (although, the punk characters are a bit broad and stereotypical). Come to think of it, I also liked George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead (1978)", which had the zombies return to doing what they remembered doing in life: Go to the Mall.
In "The Return of the Living Dead", I chuckle every time I see the scene with one of the zombies using the CB Radio in the ambulance to call for supper delivery: "Come in, dispatch... Send more... paramedics."

STEP ONE: The pencils, done on 8-1/2" x 11" toned cardstock with a black colored pencil.

STEP TWO: Here's the halfway point, give-or-take, with the first pass with gouache/watercolor.

STEP THREE: And here's the completed painting. Lots of pushing the darks and lights, and some little white, specular dots all over the place to make it seem like he was set and slimy.
