Random artwork- Swampthing

So this was me doing a quick Swampthing drawing but then I liked it so much I decided to try and ruin it with colour.

See now I know that there are clear problems with certain areas with this drawing but I am still practising my colour work so don't too hardly... please.

Random artwork 35.

So this is a random drawing to help me draw anatomy better, as I haven't sketched in a while. 

Computer Edits - Batman

This is the stages on how I turned my sketchbook drawing of Batman into a digitally edited picture on my computer. 

Sketchbook Drawing.

After the Drawing was transferred to my laptop I went over the outline of the drawing on my computer program.

I then added the basic colour scheme for the costume. I went for a mix between new 52 and a more armoured look which appears in the Arkham games.

I then did some basic shading on to the costume of the character to define where the light source was as well as the details of the suit.

I then added more shading and detail to the belt as well as the cape and cowl. 

( Please note that this is only the third piece of editing work I've done.)

I then decided the outfit needed to be defined a bit more so I went over my previous shading with a darker tone, using a air brush tool on the software I was using. I also added the bat symbol from the future batman vs superman film which I also shaded.

I then decided to do a rough background of a city scape behind him at night, with some smoke or fog rising from the city.

Computer Edits - Green Lantern

This is the first and completely unedited drawing of my Green Lantern image.

Now this is the new edited image of green lantern where I put a lot of detail onto the ring to show the energy flowing through the ring.

Random art for 2014

This random drawing was kind of an inspiration from having a talk to my friends about blind dates/meeting people online and then going on a date with them after and a thought went through my head of what if you met someone online and got on with them a lot and you thought to yourself, wow, this person is amazing! and you decide you want to go on a date with them, so you get yourself already for them to pick you up for your romantic evening, The door bell rings, you go to the door and POW! The person who has come to pick you up is a monster of mythical proportions. 

I didn't know what I wanted the monster to look like, so I just picked a bunch of animals which most people are scared of and combined them. 

This is the first sketch with a very basic edit on to the drawing, it's a work in progress. What do you think so far guys? 

Don't be afraid to comment.  

Computer Edits - Cows Do Cosplay - Silver Surfer .1

This is the first of my computer edited photos. I finally found a programme that was free on the app store to do some basic edits. As this is my first real attempt at editing one of my drawings on my computer, I still have a couple of issues that I need to improve on but little by little I am gonna get there!

Random Art - Bass Player.

I was listening to a lot of Blues and soul, So I decided to draw a bass player, mainly as I play bass and it just seemed to fit very well in my imagination.   

Pin-Up Girl .2

Pin-Up Girl 2

Ok this is the second sketch in my Pin-up Girls series. Tbh, I'm not 100% happy with it, I don't know why, I think Ive been looking at it for far too long. 

If anybody can tell me what that think, if you think there is something off with it or if it looks ok because I don't really wanna carry on with it if there is something wrong and I go past the point of changing it down the line. 

Pin-Up Girls .1

Pin-Up Girl Sketch 1

I thought for a change I would try drawing some new subject matters, so as I was watching TV I saw the advertisement on sky arts 1 programme about Dita Von Tesse and that's when I got the idea to do some classic drawings of Pin-Up Girls. So here is the first sketch of this new direction. More will come and they will have much higher quality, I just got excited and felt I needed to share this rough draft. 

Cows Do Cosplay .2

Cows Do Cosplay: The Silver Surfer!

 So here is another one of my Cows Do Cosplay, I decided to draw Silver Surfer Cow as I had my brand new sketch book and thought why not carry on this CDC idea on into the new year.
I started this new piece by looking at a number of Surfer images online, to find a positioning and scale which I thought would be interesting to try and replicate. I found a piece which I really liked and began by drawing out the figure of the Surfer and once I had the body on the paper as a rough sketch I then changed the head, hands and feet into that of a cow as well as adding the udders onto the abdomen instead of the shiny six pack the usual Surfer would have, however as we all know cows don't have six packs.

I then added some more detail on to the background, I wanted to add a bit of colour to the darkness of space, so I began with a layer of purple and then black over the purple starting gently and getting more heavy the further I went from the edge of the planets atmosphere. I then added the colour to the planet, I started with a rough filler of light green with more emphasis on the edge of the planet to try and show the distance of the Surfer from the planet. 

Once the colour had been completely added I decided to do some simple edits on the iPhoto app on my macbook. I changed the contrast levels and brightness to show more detail of the Cow Surfer. Once I have more professional programmes on my macbook, I will add more detail to this piece and try to make the lines of the background more crisp and detailed. 

2013 R.I.P - 2014 Come on down!!!!

Well as 2013 is now over and done with I thought I would do a little post with a couple of drawings I was proud to do in 2013 as a little recap for new visitors as well as reminding me of how much I have improved over the year and to help me get motivated to continue my efforts in 2014. 

Enjoy! 

 

Art 33. Random Art

Random Artwork. Stage 1 and 2.

I'll be honest, I don't even know where I was going with his piece of art, it started as a sketch of a characters face then I went on to giving him a slightly distorted body and then moved onto a simple background. I then added the shading to the piece. The Pizza question was mainly a result from my Dad asking me if I wanted one. No deep meanings, he was just hungry. 

After finishing the drawing, I uploaded a photo of it onto my laptop and started editing the contrast of the colours. The brightness of certain areas upon the paper from the lighting. Then I tried shading the corners of the piece to try and drag the attention more to the figure I had drawn. 

Cows Do Cosplay 1. Wolverine and Deadpool.

This is a new set of drawings I am going to be doing called 

"Cows Do Cosplay"

Here is Wolverine and Deadpool

Art 32. Green Lantern.

Stage one of Green Lantern followed by stage two.

I started my green lantern image by sketching out the character designing my own interpretation of his uniform out before continuing with my next step. 

After drawing the character, I decided to draw a helicopter which the character has made using his power ring behind him. I then added a few minor details to the helicopter. 

I then decided to use a green fine liner to outline the character as well as the helicopter behind him to define the main image. 

I then decided to add colour to the drawing, firstly I added light and dark green colour to the helicopter and uniform of the Green lantern with colour pencils, I then used a dark green sharpie to draw the glow around the character as well as the green energy coming from his power ring. I then used my fine liners to add the detail missed on the suit to help define the characters figure as well as the texture on his suit. 

This is the second stage of my green lantern image. I have uploaded my photo of my drawing onto the computer and edited the size of the image down to focus on the main image. I then raised the contrast of the image as well as the sharpness to bring the colour of the drawing out to give it more depth.

Art 30.

This is a random piece of art work.

This image is inspired by the Marvel comic character venom. In this image I have the venom symboite bonding with a new female host.
