Sketches: 19/01/2016

I've made a head start on these studies sometime last year and had left them in the backburner for quite a while until within these days I've decided to work on where I've left off. Other than studying these in terms of colour and anatomy, I've also attempted to experiment around with various brushes. ^_^

CAA Speed Paint Challenge: Jabberwocky 7

Today's challenge took 40 mins to paint. Based on this extract: 

"One, two! One, two! And through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

He went galumphing back."

Cute Alien Xenomorph

This was a little challenge from Stitch before the summer holidays which was to simply "draw Alien in its cute form". So for this, I've came up with these two sketches- the very bottom image is the one that I've started a while back with the random idea of it sadly holding a predator flag. As for the top- going with the summer feel, why not have a happy xenomorph running in the summer breeze? Really enjoyed this challenge- cheers Stitch!! :D

Summer Speed Painting Challenge #11- The Dragon Queen

Slightly gone on the different side with the Crimson Dragon Queen, so to patch things up I drew the Dragon Queen in its human form :).
