digital illustration - Count And Countess Dracula During Halloween Evening

This horror character based illustration features Count Dracula and his wife out for an Halloween evening stroll. Their castle can be seen in the background. The characters are designed to be 'cute and friendly'. Inspiration was taken from Christopher Lee, partly with his look and also for the costume. The wife was loosely based on Lily Munster, from 'The Munsters'.

A loose sketch was initially done on 'Sketchbook pro' during September 2018, using an android tablet. The file was later exported on to a more powerful desktop computer running the same software, where the painting was enlarged, repainted and refined.
The final digital illustration can be seen here.

Romantic Skeletons Drawing vs Painting ART

rough drawing vs finished art 'Romantic skeletons'

This drawing vs finished art comparison shows a rough drawing compared to finished artwork. The actual art is called 'Romantic Valentine Skeletons in Graveyard' and was completed in January 2014. The first panel shows the rough drawing completed. It is lacking in any detail as can be seen. The finished art was done digitally by painting in Photoshop, but there was no detailed drawing produced on this occasion. Instead the painting was drawn and designed as I went ahead with it, deciding on the details, lighting and colours as I went along. What is consistent however is the position of all the elements based on the drawing, which remain fixed within the composition.

The final art can be seen in detail here.

Romantic Valentine Skeletons in Graveyard

Romantic Valentine Skeletons in Graveyard

 

This illustration was painted in photoshop in Jan 2014. It shows two skeletons in love on st Valentines day night in a graveyard. The male skeleton is presenting his beloved with a bouquet of flowers, for which the female is extremely happy. The design of the skeletons are slightly cartoony to make them more appealing and easier to draw. The colours of the scene are quite muted, but the flowers less so. The diagonal of the males arm with the flowers thrusting in to the scene, is balanced out in the composition with the diagonal of the landscape with church in the opposite direction.

Romantic Dinosaurs in Love

Romantic Dinosaurs in Love

This digital illustration, of two happy and romantic dinosaurs in love, was created in June 2013. It is drawn in a vector based programme, and output at A3 size. The two cartoon dinosaurs, not based on any particular type, are shown against a large pink heart, surrounded by smaller ones. The colours of the lovers are designed to be gender specific, and appealing, and the cuddling pose shows their passion for one another.
