Here are two 10" x 18" ink drawings. The first is of the arrivial of the Phantom of the Opera in his Red Mask of Death costume, at a costume party. The second is of Dr Pretorious and Dr Frankenstein creating the Bride for Frankenstein's Monster.

Here are two sketches I worked on last night as a little warm up.

Dracula In Oils

"Dracula In Oils"

10" x 8"

oil paint

I have been playing around with oils for a while now and enjoying it, but have been wanting to get serious and take the plunge and try my hand at a portrait. I started with a full valued pencil drawing on the board, I sprayed it with fixative and started using thin layers of oils. I kept the layers in the shadows thin, to let the pencil come through which gives it a grainy look. And the areas that are in the light I applied thicker paint to.

Here are two new pieces for you! The first one being The Phantom of the Opera, as performed by Lon Chaney Sr. The second is Lon Chaney Jr. on the tv show Crystal Ball. Both pieces are on toned paper, with ink, Prismacolor Markers and white gesso for the highlights.

Penciljack challenge

This ink drawing was done for a challenge put up on the Penciljack forums. The challenge description was to draw a picture of an infant, in a diaper, on a blanket, playing with an age appropiate toy.

The last Star Wars

These are some of the last pieces from the Star Wars show. They are all Ink and Prismacolor markers.
