Here is the original pencil drawing of the monster creature with all of it's tentacles curling around it's head....
The pencil drawing was just a basic pencil sketch using a HB pencil and in todays day and age, computer coloring just makes your drawings stand out much better and that was what I was aiming for with this update and in fact I want to update all of my Zazzle products to bring them more of a chance of selling as I am trying to fund better computer equipment to create and colour my graphic novel projects.
And so with this updated fantasy creature drawing I was thinking about just making the pencil lines more solid with think black lines and that's what I did and I didn't even have to use the smudge tool as I am so fond of using on a lot of my artwork.
Here is the new drawing on a drinking mug, aswell as other Zazzle products, but you can see and compare both drawings to see which one is better, I like the updated versiion of this pencil drawing as it brings with it a sense of design whereas the pencil art just looks like an incomplete drawing.
