Not to be a weird alien (?) sitting on someone’s back or someone holding a mask because they have no face.
Rather, I aspire to produce the weird, mesmerizing art of someone like Chris Silverman. His use of light and shading is fantastic, and his work–done daily on the iPhone Notes app–is always freaky and delightful.
This started as another quick “spooky dark figure” sketch, but I ended up being dissatisfied with nearly every aspect of it, so this is not a quick sketch, it’s about ten different quick sketches all layered on top of each other until I figured I was ready to move on, which I probably should have done about eight layers earlier.
Enjoy!
This was done on my iPad Pro with Procreate. The ground appears much darker on my computer monitors than it does on the iPad. I’m inclined to think the iPad version is closer to correct, so I’m not going to tinker with it again.
Probably.
As before, made in Procreate, with my iPad Pro.
I may do a series with these blobby guys and their glowing red eyes.
One of my internet pals did an edit of an old Superman comic (or a parody of the same) and made it more modern and better and everything. He is right-handed and did this with a mouse, which makes me jealous because I can’t draw with a mouse due to being caught in a weird limbo between being left and right-handed (when it comes to mice):
Original:
Edited, probably more accurate:
I think it’s supposed to be a crow or something. I did it with no reference, so I’m just pleased it doesn’t look like a turkey.
What the title says. I didn’t plan it out, it just happened while I was experimenting with brushes in Procreate. I am hoping to do more quick sketches like this going forward.
Here’s a shot of some tree fungus I shot today:
And here it is with googly eyes:
You must decide.
I tried fixing the trees in this drawing, then just removed them and swapped in an ocean, along with a cloudy-looking sky instead of a star-filled one.
I’m not sure that this is better so much as different. But I like messing around with the different elements.
I’ll, uh, draw other stuff, too, rather than iterate on this one forever. I swear!
Earlier versions here.
Not his month, anyway. I’ts like my brain refuses to focus long enough to get out more than a few sentences.
But perhaps I will bloviate again and at length soon.
Also, the IV has been making my right arm itchy the last few days and I can’t scratch it. I must use sheer force of will to convince myself it does not itch.
Three more days and I am hopefully done on this particular journey.
Cat:
I did not like the plain background of the original, so put the backpack on a beach. I also changed the backpack from blue to green. I’ll probably tweak this again…eventually.
Yes, I am almost exactly two months late. I work at my own pace. 😛
I found this in my media library, but no related post to go with it, which is weird. But here at last is a post to go along with my heartwarming combination of those comic classics, Marmaduke and Andy Capp.
Remember:
