Day 04: Blood of Drcula (1957) - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2021

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2021:
Blood of Dracula (1957)

Hey, now, this is getting ridiculous, I know--another movie reference to a character I've already drawn.  But, this time it's because I happened to see they were playing the movie on "Svengoolie" last week.  What's a guy to do?  So, of course I had to do it for the Blog, too.  Tomorrow, something new, I swear!

In this case, a female vampire with quite the set of eyebrows and is in dire need of some dental work.

STEP ONE:  Hey, more pencils on 8-1/2" x 11" toned cardstock!

STEP TWO:  Here's the first pass with black-and-white gouache.

STEP THREE:  This time I decided to finish it off with some digital chicanery.  I created a new layers over top and decided to see if there where some neat things I could do digitally.  I used a variety of Normal Layers, along wiith a Glow Layer, as well as a bunch of different brushes.

This was done with black-and-white gouache, and digital overlays in Clip Studio Paint.

Inktober 2018 - Blood of Dracula (1957)

Blood of Dracula (1957)

Yet another terrible B-Movie from my misspent youth.  From the makers of "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" and "I Was a Teenage Frankenstein", comes "I Was a Teenage Drac..."  No, wait, "Blood of Dracula" (1957).  C'mon, people, the title was right there!  You could have at least finished the naming convention for the series...  

It is the same basic plot of "I Was a Teenage Werewolf", involving hypnotism used to turn the leading teenage lady into a vampire.  It also had the same writer as "I Was a Teenage Werewolf", so I'm sure it was just a coincidence.  However, instead of a crazy werewolf costume, in this case it was crazy eyebrows and eyelashes!

The year was pretty busy for American International Pictures (AIP), the studio that cranked these B-Movies out.  When they saw a fad, they leaned full into it--hard.  They beat that horse 'til it was dead, became undead, and then was dead again.  And then beat it some more.

I did this with the drawing process as the previous posts.  So, here we go...

* * *

STEP ONE:  Here are the pencils, done with an ebony pencil on 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock.

* * *

STEP TWO:  The inks were done using a #10 brush and Pro Art Pro-4100 ink.

* * *

STEP THREE:  After it was imported into Photoshop, it was colored over a Multiply layer.  Like all the previous ones, the coloration is deliberately stylized.

Done with Pen-and-Ink on 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock / Digitally colored.
