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.

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 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.

The rotten skulls is another design for one of my cafepress online stores, and it is part of my Skull series, every week for the next year I will be uploading a new skull design on my cafepress stores, and it all starts with this one.

Skull designs are pretty popular, especially in the area of tattoo design.
