Drawing Club Week 1

My drawing(s) for this week's drawing club posting. Kind of forgot about the posting until the day it was happening (today), so these were a bit rushed...55 min total, on-the-dot. The theme was...CYCLOPS! ...so I paired that with my current craving to draw weird aliens. Used an inky papermate pen on one of those 5x7(ish) notepads

Lighting and Color

A rough for a short film that may or may not happen, as usual.

...was trying to capture the mood of an urban cemetery that I pass during my evening walks.

Martian

I was running out of steam trying some crazy character painting techniques, so I decided to let loose and do a messy environment. Quick one, but spent about an hour failing to find a good place for a creature/predator in the scene...sometimes things are best left simple.

I think I'll do a handful of these environments...maybe make a digital sketchbook of them.

"You talkin' to me?"

Another character inspired by Brett Bean! Didn't have the time to finish this one, and I've already moved on to other things... :)

UPDATE: Check out the Gallery page for an updated version!

Character in the Style of 2D Bean!

I was inspired after watching an AWESOME YouTube video by one of my favorite artists, Brett Bean (http://2dbean.blogspot.com/) ...so I did this! The sketch on the left was the initial doodle.

Took me approx. 2.5 hours.

A W.I.P. Short...By Me!

I'm responsible for everything except for the textures that make up the environment...(I created the design and put the textures together to create the environments).

...something I'll definitely be coming back to finish in my free time!
