cranking with the ink pens

the vampire drama continues!

having fun with the ol' ink pens

Tonight I went crazy with some new ink pens - for whatever reason I like to draw ghouls and goblins and all the typical monsters we all know and love. I started to have this idea in my head for a soap opera with vampires, anyways I had fun with it. Why the fuck i'm up at 3 in the am creating characters for a vampire soap opera is anybody's guess.

















Super dork out....

Process - vampire

It's been too long since I posted last but I am happy to say I have new things to show. I wanted to show the process into making a tiny illustration. The original size of the work is about 3 by 4 inches.

Here's the initial pencil sketch of the piece.


Phase 2 is a simple flat acrylic wash with watercolour applied to the face and suit.


The final phase is done by applying a thin warm turp wash over the piece and adding some color pencil details to various areas. I also fine tuned the blood with more watercolour washes and added a heavy-body coat of white acrylic to the suit to give it some texture.

fluff enuff

Who knows what I was thinking here... I wanted to create a cool tshirt design but something doesn't work right with this one. Maybe it's my lack of experience with ink nibs. I just couldn't get a nice flow with the strokes. Anyone got any pointers?

Process - pt.3 - finished pencils, panel C

So this is the final panel for the illustration. Now all I have to do is run them through photoshop and get them all grouped together to make one piece.

Process - pt. 2 -finished pencils, panel B

So this one will get finished in photoshop as well. These two panels will book-end a center panel that will be a little larger in size. That one should be done soon.

Process - pt. 1 -finished pencils, panel A

This is the first of three panels I'm working on to illustrate the notion of us having robot lovers in the far off future. It's a proposal for a sci-fi magazine that's coming out of Australia. What you see is the finished pencils. I plan to put the drawing into Photoshop to give it color and some extra effects.
