Coral reef and fish drawing - Day 1

Tonight I worked out the layout of a multi-stage drawing that I will spread out through the next two days. This is a fish.

Hummingbird sketch

I didn't have a lot of time tonight, so I just did a little hummingbird. I have plans for a more detailed and colorful drawing in the near future featuring hummingbirds.

Splash sketch

So I wanted to create the look of heavy wet paint splashing down from above, and only show the paint... And so I did.

Caricature

Working on my caricatures tonight. I have managed to do a little more distortion than last time. I'll just chip at this until I'm comfortable with it I suppose.

Venom

I drew one of my favorite Marvel comic book characters tonight, Venom. I have been studying the style of the animator that created the MTV version of Aeon Flux. He used highly foreshortened forms, hard angles and twisted perspectives to give a great sense of energy and fast paced movement. I think this fits with Venom's character. I would of liked to work on the symbiote tendrals that Venom sometimes has flying off of him.

Capuchin monkey sketch

I took a reference photo of a capuchin monkey and put him into a more interesting pose. I worked on lighting him more realistically than I normally do.

More Dark Crystal - Skeksis

I would like to develop some of my own versions of the Skeksis instead of just drawing from a reference photo. Maybe someday.
