A zombie shark combines two great things — the menace of a great white shark and the spooky fun of Halloween zombie makeup. Parikshet's version is cartoonish and fun rather than genuinely scary, making it perfect for kids of all ages.

How to Draw a Halloween Zombie Shark Step by Step

  1. Draw the shark body — a large torpedo/teardrop shape, wider at the front, tapering toward the tail.
  2. Add the tail — a classic shark tail fin: two triangular points forming a crescent shape.
  3. Draw the dorsal fin — the iconic triangle fin on top of the body.
  4. Add the pectoral fins — two swept-back fins on each side.
  5. Draw the zombie face — instead of a normal shark eye, add a sunken, hollow zombie eye (X shape or spiral). Add a wide menacing grin showing rows of jagged teeth.
  6. Add zombie details — stitches across the body, torn skin edges, patches of different coloured skin, exposed bone on a fin.
  7. Draw Halloween extras — bats flying around, a crescent moon above, dripping slime.
  8. Colour — grey-blue shark body with green zombie patches, red details at the wounds.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: The zombie transformation is all in the details — stitches and exposed bones are the two quickest ways to zombie-fy any animal. Draw them first on a test piece of paper to get the look right before adding to your main drawing.
