Hey guys.
It has been far too long since I have done 2D. The other night I had a dream about this creepy rock golem character and when I woke up his face was so vivid I had to sketch him out. That led to the following two drawings. I did these this weekend in PhotoShop. I have never used PhotoShop as a medium to paint, so I was pretty excited to try drawing in the program.
I figure it has been about four years since I really took the time to sit down and draw a serious character. Don’t get my wrong, I have been sketching, doing cartoons, landscape drawings for college, etc… I just have not done a CHARACTER for quite some time. So I hope you enjoy. Feed back is appreciated.
The first image you will see is of an elf I drew this weekend as well as my rock golem. This drawing is a re-done drawing of one I did when I was in 8th grade. This drawing is actually Legolas from the Lord of the Rings. I drew this in 8th grade when I finished the book for the first time. I copied his pose from a Spiderman drawing, but other than that the whole drawing is mine. I redrew him today in PhotoShop and painted the drawing. Admittedly, I am not very happy with the result. I feel I could have done better on the color and I don’t like his eyes/face. Oh well next time… I am kinda happy with his armor. I wanted it to look like he stitched metal leaves together, what do you think?
The second image is the golem from my dream. I don’t have a name for him yet. Any ideas? The pose and his head were referenced from another artist I really love. Other than that this is my work. There was no tracing involved in this drawing! I just looked at other images to get semi realistic anatomy, rocks, and cloth. The coloring and texturing is all mine. I hope you enjoy.
