Daily Sketch: Creature Ink Drawing In Progress

 

An ink sketch of something Hellish I am working on for some huge amount of hours here and there. I want to layer up the inks, make it darker and fill the whole page with creature elements if I can, absolutely fill the background.

I am determined to keep this just a black ink sketch, if needed I'll use a white pen to whiten some areas at the end.

I've seen some vastly superior Artists draw this type of stuff, but I'm still learning, I need to work out a drawn border into my works to keep them nice and neat.

This will be a licensed artwork when complete.

I tend to have a habit with drawing with not great pens, but easier to use the Zebra Ola gel ink pens, although they are not archival ink quality, I may have to start using pens that are.

The Last Of Us Clicker Horror Artwork In Progress

 For a long time since the Last Of Us the game came out, I've wanted to draw some of the infected Clicker creatures and now with the TV series on HBO/Sky Atlantic I thought I'd have a go at drawing a couple of pieces.

Here are 2 separate works that I'm trying to finish off currently and maybe there will be limited art prints in the future of these.

Early on in the sketch process, I had a loose idea for both Clickers and thought about over exaggerating the fungus growth on the infected bodies of the creatures.

I then inked over the loose pencil sketches that were just enough to act as a guide for the form of the figures.

Ink sketching with a combination of scribbles and finely tuned hatching with a Zebra Ola black gel ink pen (my favourite sketching pen at the moment)

With always, the coloring process starts with copic markers, adding in grey tone to form an under tone for all of the colours later on and then Faber Castell Polychromos pencils over the top.

The full figure Clicker creature I wanted to include a lot of the background to show the environment surrounding it, over grown grass and moss on the brick wall as well as a broken looking sewer drain.

Once I get to this stage when I've exhausted the copics and the coloured pencils, then I will start to use acrylic paints here and there to build up further tone to the illustration.

There are other Types of Infected that I would love to draw too, such as the Bloaters, Shamblers, Runners, Stalkers and the infamous Ratking from The Last Of Us Part 2.

Look for more updates on these pieces soon and when I drop the art prints.
