Hand, own character, hand


And tadaaaaa, here are the drawings from monday the 26th of March and the drawing from today, the 27th of March!

I was a bit fed up with the site with random ideas since the words "steel" and "hovercraft" appear often... too often. So I decided to use my own creativity and draw my own hand! And man it is hard to draw in Photoshop when you just have one hand to work with..... 
So it is a bit different I guess due to the fact that I used my hand >D

Anyway, first I started with a sketch.



And after that, I added a layer with a solid skin-colour and shaped it by adding different hues of brown and a few hues of blue. 


After the hand, lunch and other things, I decided to make something in another style again, this time, The Wind Waker style (Legend of Zelda fan? Noooooo really? ) 

It is one of my Zelda fan-characters hanging beneath a big eyeball (Vaati). But the lineart took me so much time that I didn't have the time to apply some color on it. Shoot!
So here is the lineart that I was able to creat. 


Hands are always a difficult thing to draw, so today (27th of March) I decided to draw another hand again, this time the back of my hand. 
The sketch was already "Meh!" so I am not really content with this one. It doesn't feel right. But I post it anyway. 

Well.. yeah, don't have much to say about this one. I liked the one from yesterday better, but sometimes you have a day that it doesn't work the way I want, sooooo... just have to deal with it.

An old car with big spiky wheels and a demonic geisha

O boy, I've been bad! I didn't share my drawings on the same day! I am a day late!! Anyway, in this post, I will post not 1, but 2 pieces I did on Thursday! Yay!

After using the random idea generator, I found out a lot of things happened to return. That's okay, but it went a bit boring for me, so I created a mixture between the site and my own imagination. And I wanted to draw a car, badly. And that's very special, since I don't often do that. So this assignment was to create an old car with big spiky wheels. First I created some sketches and then slowly it is made into the final drawing :D





And another drawing. This time, I wanted to add a style of a certain game. So I decided to draw a demon/devil geisha in the style of Skyward Sword.

Well.... At least the blues came out as a bit of Skyward Swordish... ish... .Anyway, I am not competely content with the style, but I guess some better research should be done to accomplish that. So it is more a task when you have a bit more time on your hands.

Anyway, enjoy the drawing :D

A reflective sheriff challenges a clockwork doctor in a rocky environment

Sooooooooooo, today it was the turn of the scene and the scene description was:
"A reflective sheriff challenges a clockwork doctor in a rocky environment".

Yeeeeey, let's draw "Cogsworth" (I hope I did write the name well... anyway, it is the character from Beauty and the Beast, the Disney version). Well, it didn't turn out like a Cogsworth, It is a combination with different things I guess.

Anyway, the sketches went first. For some reason, my energy is quite low today, so I just did 2 sketches and decided to work on the second one. The composition was more interesting then the one from the side.

After drawing the composition, I decided to sketch the doctor a bit out, just to get an idea of the doctor. 
And this is the final work:

A dangerous intelligent sentinel

The second drawing for today, and the cyclus start over again with a character, a dangerous intelligent sentinel. 
First of all, I searched a bit for sentinels,  but there were different meanings, so I decided the ceremonial guards would be used.
I wanted a bit more action in the pose, but when I did those, you didn't see the legs. So a bit more calmer pose was picked (however, the other one would be quite interesting to work on, o well) 
Before I used a pose which was more static, I made a bigger sketch with a perspective kinda thing. The gun would be huge and be pointing at the viewer. But as I said earlier, you wouldn't see the character too well, so this idea was dropped. 

 However, the hand touching the glasses was kept in mind to make it a bit asymmetrical. The rest of the pose is quite.. how to call it, stiff I would say. To make the whole thing a bit more interesting, some bodies were added in the bg (he is dangerous). The glasses were to add a bit of smartness (it might be a bit cliche, but it works).

And thus, this final piece was created. The sentinel standing firm with his "cute" little gun and a floor covered with blood. 


A burning alien factory with shielding

 And the second day of the week, and another drawing. This time a structure. The mission of today was to create a burning alien factory with shielding. The word alien can be seen in different ways (alien from another country, alien from outerspace), but I decided on the outerspace alien. That meant I could do anything with the structure.

First of all, the sketches were created. I thought about spheres and big shields existing out of different smaller pieces. The spheres were struck in my mind, so I kept that idea.


When I had some sketches, I just started out with the silhouettes. A set of black circles connected with some wires. The light was added and slowly but surely some kind of UFO kind of thing appeared. When that was created, some humans and rocks were added, to give the viewer an idea how big the thing is (with the jet-skis it wasn't very clear).

A frozen virally-infected alien burns a bloody 4-armed king in a church, hell yeah!

The first thing that came up in my mind was "what the fudge?!" And then the challenge began!
The description fit to a drawing with action. The alien attacks the four-armed king, at least in my opinion, do I decided to make a more dynamic drawing after the first little thumbnail. So the horizon was put lop-sided on the canvas. 
The distance between the two was first quite close (as seen on the sketch at the right of the drawing). But it didn't gave the right feeling and there was a possibility that it wouldn't be clear that this person had four arms. So I made another one, the one at the bottom was the final setup. It hat a nice composition, even though you see only half of the king, it is clear that he has more arms then normal. 

Then the forms and shades had to be defined. What could have get more attention is the alien, but overall the drawing is all right. Sadly the 60 minutes flew by, so I didn't have time to add more colors. I only added the blood, to make clear the king is bloody.
