DRAWING CHALLENGE : MONSTER

This drawing challenge was based on the topic "Monsters" a wide range of possible outcome could come from this. For my character I took inspiration from arachnids and such like creatures, this could provide things such as multiple eyes, Fangs and webs. I also chose arachnids as they naturally induce fear in a lot of people and would therefore work as a monster.

I first drew the shape in Photoshop using the pencil tool to get outlines etc. On a layer above this I filled in in grey scale including high and low lights using a large paintbrush. I then started shading on another layer this time using lines in different tones of grey, black and white. this added texture to the piece.

This shows The Autumn Walker with part of the texture shading. and partially just the grey scale.

After this I added another layer, for colour and setting it to overlay. I shaded with a base burgundy colour and then added a lighter colour as the highlights and a darker on as the low lights. 

AUTUMN WALKER TWO ARMS COLOUR.

This was originally my finished design but after some thinking I also wanted to add a version with extra arms. Making it more imposing.
