Day 08: The Mummy

Today's monster is The Mummy.  To my young mind, the terror of The Mummy was the slow, inexorable doom that stalks us all.  Yeah, I was pretty morbid as a kid... I guess I still am to a certain degree--a smiling morbidity, though.  :-D

This was done with watercolor on 8-1/2" x 11" toned cardstock.  After the pencils were finished, I sprayed a casein fixative over top the drawing to prevent too much warping from the watercolor, and not resist the watercolor, either.  I intended the painting to be a little more washed out on the edges, with the center of focus remaining on Karloff's face.

And here are works in progress for those interested.  Well, they are here for those not interested, as well...

Inktober! Halloween Round-Up

Inktober!

Well, I suppose it makes more sense to show whatever was done with the Halloween-based, Pen-and-Ink drawings for Inktober without the colorized layers on top.  So, here they all are in their inky, black-and-white gory... er, glory.

Happy Halloween!

* * *

All were done with pen-and-ink with a No. 8 brush on 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock.--although, the Mummy also used Copic .5mm marker, as well.

I almost forgot how much fun it is to work in straight up pen-and-ink.  I'm definitely gonna have to do this some more.  :-)

The Mummy (1932)

The Mummy (1932)

Hey, it's that time again for Monochromatically colored pen-and-ink drawings for Halloween B-Movies from the past!  (Click the Label B-MOVIE to see the rest.)  And it's Inktober, which is also a thing, I guess, for the past few years?  So, it's a twofer! 

I watched this movie when I was a kid, and the Mummy as unstoppable force of nature -- long before there was a Terminator movie -- was a concept which filled me with, well, horror.  Then again, my 6 year-old mind was constantly bubbling over with terrors and monsters aplenty.

* * *

STEP ONE:  Here are the rough pencils on a 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of cardstock.

* * *

STEP TWO:  And here are the inks.  I used a Copic .5mm pen and a #8 brush and Pro-Art 4100 India Ink.

* * *

STEP THREE:  I scanned it into Photoshop and did a monochrome coloration with three values of blue over a MULTIPLY Layer.
