Daily Sketch: Demonic Parasite Ink Sketch

A Demonic parasite ink sketch concept I drew in a recent art stream here - Drawing Demon Parasite

I wanted the premise to be that the parasite had drained the life force out of the mans head, that's why it looked zombified and rotting away and then the parasite after feeding off it's host for some time, just suddenly bursts out of the hosts chest and eats through the hosts brains leftovers and then on to another host the parasite would go.

Such a lovely design of my usual ink sketchy artwork. This was based on an idea in my head and it turned out pretty much how I thought it would, only a bit better.

I would have liked to add more brain chunks and the eye a bit more mangled in the ink sketch, but I'm happy with the way it was created.

Demonic Horror Black And White Artwork - A Work In Progress

One of many black and white artworks I'm working on. I originally drew this as a line drawing for a colouring page, once I'd scanned that in I decided to work on it a bit more fleshing out the details with ink hatching and other ink splatter techniques.

 

Weekly Sketches

Some more quick sketches to pass off as an update. Some are evil headz designs for my Zazzle store, others are just sketches I sketched super fast for fun and other projects I can use them for.

The first sketch is this one that I did for my Evilheadz store on Zazzle. I'm trying to come up with some great head designs for Zombies, Demons and other Horrible creatures. And this Zombie was ace to draw because everyone seems to love Zombies right now with movies and the Walking Dead comics and TV show all the rage. I sketched this Zombie head in pencil first and then inked it so that half of it's face looked burnt and the fun will come at the coloring stage which I am opting in for a digital coloring with my graphics tablet and see what can be done with the drawing.

Next up is a quick pencil/ink sketch inspired by the 1950's complete with a Hat and Cigar in it's mouth. This is in fact something that I've had requested a lot and that is for Skulls that resemble different eras in time. And so I thought I'd have a go at drawing this 50's inspired skull. I love drawing Skulls anyway, so expect to see more.

Next is a Demon that likes to lick. He'll lick you soul out of your chest or something. This is a rare pencil sketch, one that looks incomplete, but I thought I'd post it anyway. This is the Demons Human form and when I actually finish my graphic novel I'll show you his disgusting Demonic form in the way of a finished piece of art.

Demons at the window was the title I gave to this quick ink sketch. It's of weird snake Demons that almost remind me of Jack in a Box toy I used to have as a kid. Although the heads are drawn scarier here, the face of them back then was of a strange bald almost Dummy like head that scared me as a young kid.

Demon Art Drawing - An Old Demonic Design

This demon drawing which was a quick tattoo design, although quite sketchy at the time with the black biro I used, I drew it on the back of an envelope and found it quite recently amidst the chaos of my rubbish filing system that really needs tidying out.

The demon itself, came across almost alien like in it's final phase of sketching and although I did draw the bottom jaw too thin, it does serve as a drawing that I can still use and improve upon. Drawing a demon is what I've always done, drawing them as tattoos for friends and to sell on Ebay on A3 sheets with numerous other demonic art variations.

This demon drawing brought back memories at the time of me being bored out of head in a 4 day first aid training course, I drew others too, except when I was doing the practical side of the course I couldn't do any drawing, but I sure did when I was being talked to by some first aid expert who had a monotonous voice that drilled through you like a dull grey thunder storm that actually is a sweaty and unamazing fart!

I like the contrast of the envelope showing through when scanned as the black drawing of the demon just sits there, looking all evil and scary.....

And here is the demon drawing without the envelope background......

Dark Demonic Designs

Dark Demonic Designs

I created my first Cafepress store awhile ago now, but I remember at the point of starting out I had no idea how to promote them and so they remained archived in my favourites folder on my computer for ages, until one day I thought, there are others out there, that would have researched in detail how to market your designs out there.

So I started to find out how to do so, the importance of building backlinks and relevant ones became my focal point, then I constantly thought of other ways to drive some traffic to my stores, article marketing, free advertising etc.

Why demons?

Well I've always drawn monsters and created demonic art for ages, in the style of tattoos, tribal or otherwise, so I reckon I had the authority to create lots of demonic art designs on a range of free cafepress stores.



Dark Demonic Designs On A Range Of Collectible Merchandise For Sale

Demonic Felt Tip Art

The Lick It Demon, an early sketch proved quite ridiculous as I made it's tongue too large and I wanted this to be a fun almost bright and happy design for a change especially for a demon.

It can be seen on many sites like Cafepress and Zazzle aswell as other websites.

I like to draw fun demonic drawings that I can use as a basis for a tattoo design or some other project that a demon requires it.

Drawn in Biro - a demon

When drawing monsters, usually I draw with anything to hand, and more often than not I always have a biro handy for writing my stories so I just use one of these to sketch my ideas out, as the same principals apply when applying hard and soft pressure for your shading techniques, and you can simulate some good effects just like you use a pencil for drawing.

Dark Demonic Devil Serpent

This design was a real pleasure to draw as you can tell from this blog that I love to draw monsters and demons, and am in the process of drawing my epic 10 graphic novels and one of them features demons and a range of monsters that I created as a child.

There is just something about creating creatures from your imagination that is just so satisfying, to start with a blank piece of paper and you then end up with a monster or a drawing of a character that could fit into a fantasy world of any sort.

Full A4 page size drawings like the one below can depict all the elements that you want to and it also provides a reference if you need to develop your sketch idea later on.

Demonic Hellspawn Creature Art

Dark Demonic Hellspawn from the pits of hell.
Most of my sketchbooks are littered with these single creature designs, usually used to collect into either a tattoo archive or shrunk down to fit on an A3 flash sheet to sell on Ebay and on other auction sites.

Other designs that I draw may just go on Cafepress or some other place as there are uses to using every drawing that you create.

Firstly they keep your many sites updated.

Then they keep any other fans of your work informed of updates.

To do this you need to be drawing all the time and never ever stop, But if you like drawing as much as I do then you will draw every day anyway.

Demon God Of Evil Art Design

This is the demon god of evil and it was inspired by a serpent creature that I drew way back over 4 years ago, and so I re drew it and added a demon on the end with 2 swords, making him a flaming fire colour adds to the hell design of the usual demons.

I like to do the flame design with felt tips as they blend easier with felt tip pens. to do this I start off with the red and either do the edges of the flame or the centre of the flames, then a light orange colour followed by the yellow pen which seems to blend the colours, sort of like a paint glaze.

Using felt tips could be used as a primary medium, but for me it is for visualizing the colours and moving on from there. I've also been known to sketch with felt pens and often I have gone through packs of felt tips in a day, because they run out of colour.

Top Tip - Save all of your old felt tip pens, because they could come in handy for use with paints and other colour mediums when they dry out, just wet the tips and use them like paint brushes, I always like little recycling tips like this!
