Daily Sketch Journal #28 - Band Horror Logo Commission

The photos below are of a Band logo commission I did for a Fiverr client. The image of a guitar, microphone and skull help make the design part of a band logo quite well. The inked design looks more solid and the white cobwebs seem to add an extra dimension to the art illustration.

All I have to do now is do a quick logo in photoshop to compliment the design.

The initial pencil sketch of the band logo. Wanted to work out the elements first and see if they worked and they did, so I started inking below

The final inked version of the band logo illustration. Nice and black shades that contrast well with the white elements

Daily Sketch Journal #27 - Freddy Kruger Head Sketch

I have been trying to draw a Freddy Krueger head sketch for some time and this one seemed better than the others which ended up in the reject pile. While I think it's commendable to draw a realistic portrait of Robert Englund as Kruger, but that's not my style. So instead I wanted to capture the essence of Nightmare on Elm Streets favorite horror icon.

Right now the inked version has that raw look and the colour will help bring the character to life. As and when I finish this illustration I'll do an update to this post.

Daily Sketch Journal #26 - Tree Skull Art Fiverr Commission

I'm working on a tree skull art design for a Fiverr client and the idea was based on a facebook image that had a tree with a few hidden faces in it.  You can check out the Fiverr gig right here - I'll draw a horror skull in black ink for $5

The challenge with this piece of art was to make the skulls look almost hidden within the tree itself. In the pencil drawing above I think I'm getting away with it. I need to ink this.

Daily Sketch Journal #25 - Killer Klown Sketching

Wanted to try and draw a Killer Klown in oversized onesie like a proper clown. Might do a background on this one. Once again I'll update with updates on this and other drawings in the daily sketch journal blog series.

Just a pencil sketch at the moment, but it could do with some improvements around the drawing and maybe see about adding something in his hands, but what? hmmm? decisions decisions!

The Killer Klown drawing is on a sheet of A4 white card and this is the close up of that early pencil sketch.

Daily Sketch Journal #24 - The Thing Inspired Art

Designing another Thing inspired head drawing based off of John Carpenters film The Thing. This is inspired from the two heads that look like they are being ripped and forced apart, it's the frozen thing creature Kurt Russel and the team find in the Antarctic.

I wanted to make this lightly different and more me than a realistic version of whats gone before. that's why I added one human head at the bottom and something else at the top which helps separate the two heads in my opinion even though they are joined together.

Still need to work on more of the inks for this drawing and colour it with some funky colours.

The Thing close up two heads being forced together and then ripped apart at the same time, needs more work

Daily Sketch Journal #23 - Vampire Sketch The Strain

Currently drawing more The Strain artwork in particular the vampires from that TV show of the same name. I want to create a few good art illustrations prints of these and this one I'm working on I wanted to just do the head like it's just been chopped off and all the vampire virus worms are splattered around the head of the Vampire. I'm not sure if I'm going to colour this as yet, but this is the pencil sketch and inked drawing I have done so far.

On a slightly funny note, it looks like the Vampires tongue is waving on it's missing nose like a little kid saying "Na Na Na Na Na!" lol. Think I'll keep that in the design though, now onto inking the drawing and I'm thinking about some heavy black in the background to help all the worms and thinned out white blood stand out.

Daily Sketch Journal #22 - The Fly Horror Print Sketch

Drawing realistically portrait style isn't really my style. I may not have the patience to learn, so in keeping with that thought, I took a look at a movie still from that movie and it shows Jeff Goldblum as Seth Brundle in a horribly disfigured and quite excellent prosthetic suit, but here in the initial pencil sketch I wanted to capture the essence of that movie moment.

I'll be adding a Teleportation pod in the background and maybe the fully transformed fly creature somewhere on the A3 sheet of card I am drawing on.

As the illustration progresses with inks and colour then the drawing might look more like a hideous looking freak. It's kind of a relief not being able to draw realistically, because that exists on film and it was nice to flex my drawing muscles by using my own art style and trying to create something that honours this classic horror movie of my childhood.

Daily Sketch Journal #21 - Sugar Skull Design

I drew this for a Fiverr client from this gig here I'll Draw A Horror Skull For $5 And it turned out pretty well, the client was happy with the skull design anyhow and I was pleased since this is the second one I've drawn in the Sugar Skull theme. I'll more than likely do a color version of this or draw another one.

Daily Sketch Journal #20 - Undead Zombie Head Art

This Zombie head I inked back in 2014 and forgot about it for awhile and I just started to add some basic grey and red colours to the undead head. Needs some work, but it's getting there.

Zombie head inked with ink pens and coloured with letraset promarkers.

Daily Sketch Journal #19 - Divider Head Dead Space Art

A Divider Head from the classic Dead Space game series that I don't really play to much. Wanted to have a go at the idea for the head and work my way up to draw a body of the alien infected parasite creature.

The pencil shading was fun, because I don't do much pencil shading on drawings. I enjoyed drawing this dead space creature.

Daily Sketch Journal #18 - Friday The 13th Hockey Mask Art

A Friday the 13th Hockey mask drawing. I was trying to capture the essence of the movie series and I think I'll get there. I will color it soon. Just see how it goes!

I like the texture I achieved with a black brush pen around the hockey mask. I guess it was supposed to resemble coagulated blood and maybe splashed blood or something.

The hockey mask looks quite menacing because there is no emotion to show on this inked illustration

Daily Sketch Journal #17 - Demon Hell Spawn Marker Art

This hellspawn marker art makes a refreshing change from the black and white stuff I did the last 6 months of last year. I've started to use Letraset Promarkers more often for coloring in my artwork and they produce some pretty great results. Although I'm still experimenting with them, you can layer over different shades of a color and create some nice depth with tone.

Daily Sketch Journal #16 - Chainsaw Maniac

Trying to draw a chainsaw maniac and sketching ideas for that. The first pencil sketch was rubbish, but it helped me think better how to improve the drawing. And so this quick black acrylic paint sketch drawing of a chainsaw maniac helped give me some very basic ideas on drawing this as a possible illustration.

The chainsaw maniac figure needs to be explored more for such details as drawing the hands holding a chainsaw or the clothes He is wearing etc. I'll update soon!

Daily Sketch Journal #15 - Zombie Head Drawing DOTD

I went Zombie mad today and drew a Zombie face from the classic 70's Dawn of the Dead movie and will color it in with various art markers and colored pencils. Here are the pencil sketches so far and then what follows on from that, well we'll see!

This is the Plaid Shirt Zombie from the classic 70's Dawn of the Dead movie, once I get around to coloring it, it will have that 70's charm I think. Look for the inks and a splash of color later....

I suppose the bad lighting adds some sort of effect to this Dawn of the Dead zombie drawing.

Daily Sketch Journal #14 - Acrylic Art Explorations

In this daily sketch journal I thought it would be cool to do some acrylic art and just have fun slapping lots of paint on paper and seeing what occurs. Some mixed results here. Lets take a look.
Sometimes it's just best to paint stuff quick and see what happens.

A quick Demon head with an inspired fly mouth type idea.

A screaming demon head idea that needs to be re-drawn and more detail added

A skull painted on wood as an idea

A single thought on what would Kermit the Frog look like with exploding eyes...still needs some work 

Acrylic skull art with black and white acrylic paint blended together to make a grey color

Daily Sketch Journal #13 - Screaming Zombie Head Artwork

A screaming Zombie head artwork. I'm really determined to keep up with this even though I do the drawings and then lately forget to upload them. I was thinking about a screaming Zombie head and I'll think about adding some nice and vibrant colors to this illustration at some point. As always I'll update with new updates right on this blog post about this Zombie artwork as I go along.

I was toying with the idea of giving this Zombie head some hair, but alas no. I might do some funky colors however and make this visually stunning if at all possible.

Daily Sketch Journal #12 - Zombie Pencil Sketch

The daily sketch journal continues with some late editions lately, but hopefully will get back on track. This is a Zombie pencil sketch that will evolve into an inked illustration complete with a Zombie in the background, also I wanted to draw a bit of background too a graveyard perhaps?

Notice the daft broken finger on the Zombie, it's little details like that that make drawing this stuff worthwhile lol.

Daily Sketch Journal #11 - Skull With Maggots And Worms

It's quite frequent that I enjoy drawing a good black ink skull illustration and this one features a Skull with maggots and worms all around it. I have yet to draw in all of the maggots on the sheet of A3, but I will meticulously ink them in one by one. It might look like lots of rice around the skull, but I shall try and do some thinner lines on the maggots to try and separate them from that thought.

There is just something about all of the busy detail that seems intriguing to me as an Artist.

Update 13/02/2015 - I've complete the full drawing including the maggots and am unsure whether to color the illustration or just leave as is? 

I decided to draw the other missing eyeball on the forehead of the skull and show that the maggots are trying to carry it off to eat.

Daily Sketch Journal #10 - Horror Demon Expanding Art

Yet another A3 sized illustration starting here in the middle with more demonic horror creatures and with this one I wanted to document the drawing process and do a drawing video which I will post when fully complete.

I'll also post updates on this piece of art too with new sections of the illustration as I go along.

A tiny section of a large A3 sized illustration of demon horror art by Wayne Tully

Daily Sketch Journal #9 - Demon Heads Large Illustration

I started a large A3 size illustration of lots of Demon heads all placed together on one sheet. The idea was that they would be drawn with just a mechanical pencil with some heavy shading along the way. Still got a way to go with this illustration, but I'll get there. I need to fill up the full A3 thick card paper. I'll be selling the complete original illustration.
