Daily Sketch: A Death Metal Creature Ink Drawing

 

Lately, I've been working quite a lot on concept art for skateboard and merch (T-shirt) designs and also trying to apply more effort drawing the stuff I really love to draw and that is stuff from my imagination.

The written descriptions of HP Lovecraft provide great inspirations for the creatures that I like to draw. This design looks a little wide for a Skateboard, but I guess it could be applied to a t-shirt or some other licensed design.

I use various ink pens such as gel ink pens, as they are cheap and disposable and Sharpie markers for darker areas to be inked.

These types of designs always need developing as I am keen to make them a lot more complex in design with way more inky details.

Daily Sketch: Zombie Werewolf Ink Drawing

 I drew this quite recently, a Zombie Werewolf ink drawing, a loose ink sketch that I challenged myself to create on a TikTok live art stream, usually the best way of tackling drawing something is to face it head on and just start sketching.

With this particular ink drawing I was concerned about the ink textures and trying to get that right and balance the whole sketch with light and dark areas.

I've drawn many werewolves over the years, but this is the best head shot I've created. Inking hair so that it looks good has always been a challenge, but I've found that if you create darker hairy areas and create a shape to the hair, it works better.

Here is a very short timelapse of me drawing this Zombie Werewolf.

Daily Sketch: Neon Green Horror Skull Art

 

When I plan to go live over on YouTube, often I really don't know what I'm going to draw and this horror skull was created with the ink drawing first and then I had the idea of using some Neon Acrylic Paints that were just not being used.

You can see that art stream replay here - Drawing a Horror Skull Concept

The original idea behind this design was for a t-shirt design, one type of artwork that would have a central and uncomplicated image that could fit on any colour t-shirt (except probably green, who knows lol)

The unexpected glowing look of the neon green and yellow paints was something that looked cool and it gives a nice radioactive feel to the skull.

I definitely will be using those neon paints again!

Daily Sketch: Dark Demon Soul Necronisphere Ink Sketch

 

This is a variation of the one I did here - Dark Demon Soul Art and I wanted to make a few changes, just to get the design looking right in my mind and on paper.

The demon skull had to be a bit more in the centre and the other skulls stretching rotten flesh surrounding it, it was a minor change that I felt I had to do, although I do like both designs, I do feel that I could do a 3rd version of this drawing and mix it up even further.

Something that I never thought about whilst drawing these, they look like pizzas, which was unintentional.

Again, I'm still working on this concept for a t-shirt design and although I like the drawings so far, I feel it just needs a little bit more development and also finishing or rather neaten up the inks on the drawings.

Daily Sketch: Warhammer Chaos Plague Helm Art

 

Warhammer is a great childhood bit of nostalgia and one that brings back happy memories of creative day dreams and trying to figure out how to draw the stuff I used to see in the White Dwarf magazine.

For this drawing I wanted to try and go for the disgusting chaos plague, sort of like the Nurgle creatures with a lot of rot on this rotten helmet with almost intestine like gas mask tubes.

As a kid, I never could perfect the ink work on this or similar types of drawings and so in later life, I'm happy to try and realize this fantasy stuff more now that I love to draw dark horror themed stuff more now than ever.

One of my most favourites is the Plaguebearers and I've never really successfully drawn one that I've liked, so I hope to have a go and see how that turns out.

As with other ink drawings of creatures and monsters I really enjoy inking the flesh textures as I can waste a lot of time inking loads of them details on a piece of artwork.

Daily Sketch: Dark Demon Souls Necrosphere Ink Drawing

 A dark demon souls necrosphere ink sketch I did in an art stream here - Drawing Dark Thing

This was just a concept sketch based on an idea I had for a t-shirt design, it may need some re-working as half way through like most drawings I had a better idea,but it still is a valid ink sketch and one that I could develop in time.

I didn't want to make the design complicated and one that would have been difficult to cut out from the white background as most t-shirt designs must be a transparent image.

I drew a similar piece years ago, and I coloured that in green with the skulls not really looking demonic like in this photo.

I guess this is another common theme for me to draw. The thick outline on the top of the design really is bugging me, so I'll have to work on that a bit, maybe get some more inky textures in there to work that thick ink line out.

I love inking this stuff!

Twins Of Evil Death Metal Ink Drawing On Black T-shirts

 Twins of Evil Black t-shirts available with my artwork on them. I've tried hard to start creating a handful of designs that are original and unique for the Death Metal crowd. I'll be working on some more, but all will be like this, transparent inked drawings on black t-shirts.
