Chris Y- hi felas, soz for lateness I have to steal time away from my 2 year old daughter to get anything done, I stuck her infront of the tele with the' jungle book' on and did this:
Ive been drawing alot of dragons lately so wanted to use the lizard pic and also loved the lady in red which I saw as a kind of monk, so ended up with kunk fu lizard monk!
Am loving your sutffs, clearly some serious talent around here.
McQue - Sorry, Mr Burt, bit late this. Won't happen again.
These took their inspiration from the antler headed woman on the mood board - reminded me of that book 'Mythago Wood'. Recommended if you like that sort of thing.
Feels good to be sketchclubbing again!
Chris - Glad to besketching again. Here's my offering for the re-boot of the blog. This is about my 4th attempt at this. I started off way too tight then as i started sketching new ideas kept jumping out at me. Started off as some dude posing with a sword, but as i gradually started incorporating the shell shape from the building on the mood board into creatures that live beneath the ice. I removed the guys sword and turned him into a fisherman type. Not had much time on this but would like to have had the creatures also attacking him in some way. Roll on the next challenge!
Ross - ok , so this is my stab at the re-start of sketchmen....it went through a good few iterations in quick doodle stage on post-its, and i thought i was gonna go with a wierd humanoid, but scrapped it and ended up here. The first thing that jumped out at me from the reference sheet was Chris's crazy antlered lady in red ( never seen her lookin so lovely as she looked tonight ) ...so pretty much from there i knew i wanted to do some kind of creature with antlers...., other than that , i was pulled in by the little lizard, which influenced the face and a lot of the spikey texture of the creature....the vulture was also a big influence, and the cocoon like opera house was used in the layering on the creatures back and neck. Any name ideas for the creature are more than welcome :)

very nice Ross. wasn't expecting a creature from you for some reason. It's cool, i instantly see which parts you got from the ref. nice shapes and pencil work. I think you should call him Scrotesniffer
cheers mate, what a lovely name, I'll send him over to your place for some nasal pleasure.
yeah , creature work is something i wanna do more of - well, i basically draw characters mostly, so anything outside of that :)
I really like your Vulture fisherman, i think u can envision a real world around his character, makes u want to know more about him.
oops, FAIL!
the vulture head is part of a hat/cowl thing on top of a guys head. Shoulda made that clearer, doh!
Might revise the sketch and repost
hahah, if you hadn't produced 2 pages of work you'd be in trouble McQue!
Lot's of cool stuff, love the pen lines, is it a mixture of 3 or 4 pens u use? like a felt tip mixed with fineliner?
guy at bottom left of page 2 is my favourite i think
Cheers Ross,
Yeah, I'm using a brush pen and various fineliners - 0.5 down to 0.1.
There's a Sharpie in there somewhere as well.
Good stuff going on here. Let's make sure we keep it up this time!
mR.yOUNG, very nicely painted little kungfu master there, great start to the sketchmen, lookin forwards to what u come up with next
