A quick 10-15 minute rorschach sketch

After I finished my last post I opened up Illustrator and was hacking away, I was actually really pleased where this was going, but since I have to work in the morning I cut my work short. I may pick it up again after I finish the chubby Batman, but I thought I should post it.

Worked on this for a couple of hours today, I drew up an initial line drawing, but decided I wanted to paint it instead, just for the added challenge. It’s a work in progress, but I think it’s coming along.

I’m hoping to finish it tomorrow if I get a chance.

Sorry for the lack of posts, Christmas/family visiting has kept me busy.

Should’ve started with the robot…

Mars Attacks Martian WIP

Got to work on this around 10, I tidied up the sketch and started painting it. I was trying to do a better job at it, but painting is still something fairly new to me so there’s alot of wasted time in picking colors etc.

I started out laying down some light tones and trying to build up sections, but I got distracted and moved onto other parts. I started laying down detail far too early.

I like where it’s headed, but I need to take a step back and take another crack at it. I need to try and be more pragmatic about it, while at the sime time exploring the colors and lines. I could probably finish is real quickly if I just gave it black outline, but I was challenging myself not to do that.

Any way, enjoy the WIP (work in progress) for now, I’ll post the finished one later in the week.

Update: I lost sleep over this damn thing last night. However I came to 2 conclusions.

I’m not yet good enough to be trying this type of painting, I need to get better with drawing first. So I think I may finish this with black outlines.
Layers, Layers, Layers. I was doing all of this on one layer, which is stupid. I could have layered each of the parts (eyes, face, suit, gun, helmet etc.)
