    Zombies - what colour promarker?

    Have been struggling to find the right colour for a zombie face. Which promarker would you use?

    I don't use Promarkers so I have no advice to offer, but I just wanted to say that this is my favourite query ever posted!

    I think the Promarker manufacturers should definitely bring out a three-pack of 'Zombie Skin Tones'.

    Grey didn't quite do it for me. I used Ivory which wasn't right. too dark, I wanted something really pale and sickly which doesn't seem to be in the Promarker range - yet! You may wonder why I'm colouring zombies - I've just discovered the Dilly Beans digital stamps where there are lots of cute zombie images! I think I'll have another go, this time colouring a really pretty zombie, the contradiction could look good.

    I'll try the pastel green. Of course then I have to decide what to do about clothes and hair, grungy or colourful - I suppose it depends on how long she's been a zombie!

    I tried Pastel Green and it was too 'aqua' so I went over the ivory with Tea Green which gave a suitably yuk colour and darkened up the bow and the hair. I've taken a couple of pictures, before and after though the colours don't show up too well. There are lots of other zombie images on the site, this is just the first one I've tried.

    Sorry, you'll have to turn your heads, not sure how to turn them round now I've got this far.

    Fab! The colour in the second picture looks just perfect! Thanks for showing.
