The Drawing Den Of Dread

CanvasEngineer 2018-10-14 17:42:22 UTC #1

so... I'm taking the first and usually hardest step in posting my art for everyone to cringe at lol. In all seriousness or at least half, I'll leave some drawings here for people to enjoy. I'll update every so often with art I think is passable and if I get lucky this blog won't die due to procrastination.

Just finished this car drawing that actually came from a sketch I did while practicing form building in Perspective

Here is a Solomon Grundy Design I did a couple of weeks ago. I've been meaning to do this for a while as I really have a liking for the character. While not what I would have hoped for body type wise, I think the colors and the expression capture my rendition decently.

this is the rough underlay accompanied with some colors I wanted to use to establish the mood

This is my render of the character and I am for the most part satisfied with the forms

Adjusting what I want the viewer to focus on and increasing contrast on certain features

At this point, I wanted to further push the mood I was trying to convey of a supernatural and mysterious vibe. It's up to personal tastes really.

here are some more car doodles focusing on form building primarily. The design aspect will be more focused over time when I have actually looked at and studied more cars lol.

Here are some face studies I did because I wasn't liking the way mine were coming out after that venom piece I did.

just finished this monster design. I surprisingly haven't drawn a creature and posted it aside from some marvel theme chars. This one was based on a sketch I did. Practicing in between posts a lot so this is definitely incorporating things I've learned in those gaps of time haha.

Pretty cool! It looks particularly eerie especially with those colors and the somewhat deformed body shape. I also love those brush textures.

CanvasEngineer 2018-11-11 01:06:27 UTC #22

thanks, I was trying out some different techniques concerning the brushstrokes.

Okay, am not completely gone haha. Here is a drawing I did for the Huevember challenge.

Here's a sketch dump of the past 2 days. Definitely felt some improvement between them.

CanvasEngineer 2018-11-15 05:22:54 UTC #26

some studies 90 min studies I did both in order. Had a lot of fun.

CanvasEngineer 2018-11-19 21:35:27 UTC #28

Here's another round of studies

CanvasEngineer 2018-11-19 21:41:10 UTC #29

another Drawing study. This one was originally a sculpture but I overexaggerated the values in this instance and it came out very metallic.

CanvasEngineer 2018-11-19 21:43:12 UTC #30

Wanted to work on understanding form so I did studies based around that and shapes instead of just lighting.

CanvasEngineer 2018-11-20 20:58:10 UTC #31

studies from yesterday

Alrighty, I'll get back to this blog after I'm done with the Art War 3 challenge. Worked on this Wolverine piece for roughly an hour.

Did a little tutorial afterwards

CanvasEngineer 2018-12-08 09:45:54 UTC #34

Got in a couple of drawings between the Art War. This one is a drawover of a previous piece actually on this blog. Just scroll up to look at it vs. this one. I have 3 versions of this I'll be possting.

apparently, I forgot to update this blog with a redo of the drawing above lol. Perfectionism at its finest I suppose. anyways I made this guy up but forgot his name. I think it was Skortch or something.
