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.

Evil Head Ink Sketches

 The 3 ink sketches here are all one in a drawing I did and then inked it. The process is a fairly straight forward one for inking. Trying to separate the heads with some darker areas is one good technique to help each overlapping element stand out from the mess of ink lines sometimes.

This is a ink sketch for an evilheadz design in my Zazzle store which is a gallery of products you can buy my artwork on t-shirts and other gift ideas. I'm currently creating lots more designs for this Zazzle store as and when I complete them.

Art Of David Brockie

Just thought I'd share a link to this Artist David Brockie as his style of artwork is sort of similar to mine, but so much more varied with influences through traditional art mediums such as ink pen and paintings. The horror influences in his art is apparent.

Here is the link - Art of David Brockie and you can also check out his Art of David Brockie Facebook Page which features more of his art.
