31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 6 - Grey Alien

Grey Alien - Copyright ©2013 Kevin P. Johnson

In trying to catch up on this project I recycled our old friend the Grey Alien as an idea. For some reason most of these have been portraits of monsters (I'll try to break that habit soon) but I kind of like the way some of them are going.

This drawing was done in an 5.5" x 8.5" Strathmore (400 Series) 60 lb. paper sketchbook with Sharpie Marker and Copic Markers.

Thanks for looking,

This is an alien I did earlier in the year. He's really simple and yet I like him a lot. I'll be posting more monster drawings soon.

Copic markers and pens were used to create this drawing.

Thanks for checking out the page,

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 14 Alien

Little green men from Mars was the fear of earthlings for many years but they are really from New Orleans. Aliens are fun because they can look like anything but I decided to go with the typical "Grey" style but with green skin and human clothes just for fun. NOLA is short for New Orleans Louisiana for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term.

This was a just quick drawing, I'm having a tough weekend and had to get this monster out for you as promised. I actually like him I just wish I had done something with his arms so he wasn't so stiff.

This drawing is done with Copic Markers and Sharpie Marker on approximately 8.5" x 11" Bristol Board.

They walk among us . . . so I've heard,

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 13 - Aliens

Aliens . . . there are a lot of different options to go with when someone mentions aliens being that there are thousands of books and movies about these guys. One of the most commonly reported form of aliens are the Grey Aliens who were first written about in 1893 by H.G. Wells and have since been reported to be abductors of humans all over the world. Grey Aliens are basically humanoid with big black eyes, grey skin and often large heads but they usually lack a nose, ears and sex organs. These aliens are commonly said to take humans from their homes and into a space craft where they probe and experiment on the humans who are often returned to their homes with only memories of what happened.

Now there are probably a million websites out there featuring these guys so I'll suggest you start with Wikipedia and explore from there.

In my drawing I went with the basic Grey Alien who to me resembles Spider-Man without the webs. I also gave him suction cup fingers because I've seen these guys represented with them and without and it seems more alien to have them. I'm not sure why he's holding a smiley face ball in his hand except for that maybe its a gumball and he can't chew it because he has no mouth.

The colors are Copic Markers.
