Here is a video that I created on drawing zombie head examples which can help you further.
Here are the rough pencil drawings I did to warm up to drawing the final larger rotten zombie head illustration in pencil.

I often ask this question to myself daily and the more I think about it, the more reasons why I don't finish a lot of artwork is purely down to having an Artists mind that is always busy with ideas.
Often it is the way of creating any one piece of art that I have many more ideas whilst halfway through a drawing or a painting, that needs to be explored almost immediately and so more creative paths are made and it becomes a complicated mess of trying to get certain artwork done and it's the interruptions of daily life and other works that seems to affect the flow of your work.
I quite enjoyed inking the fine details on the tomb and all of the entrails too.
Often when it comes to drawing commissions I nearly always have to plan these out and sketch them a few different ways before settling on a final design.
I must have sketched the tomb in a different angle several times until I had the idea of viewing the coffin like tomb from above with the lid ajar on top, it seemed to work best.
If you would like me to draw you a commission, such as this, I do colour work also, contact me through my Instagram here Wayne Tully Horror Art and I'll be happy to discuss working on a commission with you.
