117+118 REVISITED

I re-worked and completely fleshed out #'s 117+118 since at the time all I managed to do was lay down their silhouettes. As you can see, they are illustrations of two of the MACRODON series 1 figures:

156 STEP BY STEP

Here is the step-by-step progression for the illustration of this MACRODON
(final version seen above).



1- Once I laid down the black silhouette shape I Instantly got an idea of what this MACRODON should look like, I didn't want to loose my idea by over-working it, so I penciled in some loose sketch elements, and then scanned the concept drawing into the computer:


2- At this point I sketched further details of this MACRODON on Photoshop with my drawing tablet and a large brush.



3- I continued to sketch the MACRODON figure with strokes with a variety of widths, some overlaying, and then decided to complete the illustration based on this stage of of my sketching. (4- final version seen at top of post)



5- And finally, since I was still quite attached to how the digital sketches looked, I formed this composite, with a scan of the final drawing and some overlays of the digital sketches.

117-118 part I

I am beat.

This is all I was able to manage tonite (in addition to MACRODONS 115+116).

These lumpy black shapes are pleasing in a way, but I am planning a reductive drawing this time -drawing with white paint instead of black as I typically do.
(similar to what I did for # 080, and sort of like # 086 also).

Also, these MACRODON drawings come from the figures/toys/sculptures I've made: www.macrodons.com
