During my lunch break, I decided to do a quick sketch of the great old one, Cthulhu. Using just a simple ballpoint pen and a work notepad, I was able to capture the essence of this legendary creature.
It only took me about 5 minutes to complete the sketch, but I was happy with how it turned out. Even though it was just a quick drawing, it’s always fun to flex my artistic skills and see what I can come up with on the fly.
After Jean Grey’s latest resurrection she leads her own new team, X-men Red. So with a new life, a new team she’s going to have a new look. This was a lunch break sketch I did last week. I was inspired to draw Jean after seeing artist Jamie Fay‘s amazing rendition he did of her. Jamie posted the image of her on his Instagram account.
In 2015, I participated in Inktober and decided to draw a cartoony vampire for one of the prompts. I wanted to challenge myself to draw in a style that I don’t usually use, which is inspired by anime and manga with big eyes.
To create the ink illustration, I used a combination of Pentel Brush, Micron pens, and Sharpie pen. I tried to give the vampire some movement by drawing his flowing cape. To make him stand out, I added a black background. One of the rules of Inktober is to draw only with ink and no pencil sketching. I enjoyed the process of creating something spontaneously.
In October 2015, I participated in Inktober and did an ink drawing inspired by the Mad Max: Fury Road movie. The drawing is of Max wearing a metal muzzle when he was strapped to the front of the villain Nux’s roadster. I used Micron pens and a Sharpie pen for the ink illustration.
For this drawing, I experimented with a lot of cross-hatching, more than I usually do. I wanted to try a new approach to inking and challenge myself to use only ink pens without a pencil sketch underneath. While the result is a little wonky and stiff, I’m really happy with how it turned out.
First Order Stormtrooper from Star Wars the Force Awakens. Done with a pen brush and a micro pen. This was done last year for Inktober in October 2015. Had fun with this drawing. I really dig the new helmet design.
For this Inktober illustration from October 2015, I did a quick sketch of Rae Sloane from Star Wars using a pen brush. At the time, I had been reading Star Wars: Aftermath where she was an admiral. Little did I know that she would become a big deal in the First Order too.
Normally, I would have penciled the drawing before inking, but for Inktober, I decided to follow the original rules by Jake Parker and go straight to inking. The result was a little stiff, but I’m still happy with it.
To give the drawing more depth, I added a black background around her head and shoulders. Overall, I enjoyed creating this ink drawing and exploring the character of Rae Sloane.
For Inktober 2015, I did a quick sketch of Cthulhu using a pen brush. As a fan of cosmic horror, I had a blast drawing this iconic character. I liked playing with the details of Cthulhu’s tentacles and wings, I also added a skull-like head.
A quick BB-8 from the new Star Wars The Force Awakens film. This was done with a pen brush. I think this little droid is going to totally steal the show.
Here’s my day three drawing of a Goblin. Again for this challenge, all my drawings will be comic book-based. So here’s the Green Goblin unmasked. Norman Osborn Spider-Man’s original arch-enemy. The badest of the bad
Here’s my day two drawing of a Devil….. Daredevil to be exact. For this challenge, all my drawings will be comic-based. Daredevil was the first character to pop into my mind for Devil. If you get a chance to read the latest Daredevil series written by Mark Waid, it’s fun. The Daredevil I drew is more the Marvel Knights version.
