In this first tutorial of The Photoshop Training Channel I will guide you through the various easy-to-follow steps for creating a realistic Photoshop Zombie.
Why a zombie for my first tutorial? it’s not even Halloween?
Well Zombifiying people in Photoshop is ridiculously good fun! And The Walking Dead is one of my favorite shows, so I figured I would start with a cool looking zombie!
Update: You can see how crazy I am about Zombies in the Tweet below:
I Photoshopped myself as a #Walker from @walkingdead_amc I love that show! Can’t wait for this Sunday’s episode! twitter.com/JRfromPTC/stat…

In this zombie Photoshop tutorial I won’t be using any face swapping techniques, instead, I will use non-destructive techniques that are all editable so you can always go back and fine-tune your image.
I’ll use a picture of a young woman to create this cool Photoshop effect, but feel free to use your own image to make your zombie, the trick is with the textures we’ll be using.
Also, don’t be afraid of pressing Ctrl + Alt + Z (Mac: Command + Option + Z) on your keyboard to undo any mistake you may have done!
If you have any questions or comments leave them below.
