31 Monsters in 31 Days: Monster 23 - Rage Face

This guy is Rage Face . . . as with just about all of this years drawings I made him up. Rage Face is a mean and nasty creature that senses anger, fear and rage. He has no eyes and uses his heightened senses of fear to stalk his victims.

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,

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 8 Shadow Queen and Shadow People

Another monster returning from last years list is Shadow People but in this case I kind of thought up a story in my head and this is the Shadow Queen the ruthless leader of the Shadow World. Maybe I'll make a comic book about it someday. As for the queen she's the first female Shadow Person that I have drawn giving a gender to what had been a genderless creature as far as my drawings have gone.

In the drawing we just see a bust of the Shadow Queen win a less than happy look on her face (if she actually has a face) because I wanted it to feel like it could be a statue. The drawing is done with Copic Markers and Sharpie with Adobe Photoshop after on 11" x 14" Bristol Boar.

Below is another drawing I did earlier this year of the Shadow People:

This second drawing was done a few months ago but I could not find it and then by total accident it appeared when it was time to work on this post. I added the blue to it for this post but the drawing was finished long before the 31 Monsters in 31 Days project started.

This drawing is done with Copic Markers and Sharpie with Adobe Photoshop after on 11" x 17" Bristol Boar.

Foot Face

This one is just a silly little doodle that turned into something. The FOOT FACE monster is of the most horrible creatures to ever roam the world . . . not because of it's danger to humans or the world but because of it's terrible smell. The Foot Face has the worst case of "Funk Foot" ever and that smell has been known to cause people to pass out and slap their mama's but this smell is nothing compared to it's breath . . . we don't want to talk about it's breath. The worst part about this creature is that it can fly and likes to spend it's time flying under peoples noses.

This drawing was done with Copic Markers.

Thanks for checking out the drawings,

2nd Annual 31 Monsters in 31 Days - October 2012

Hey there boys and girls,
This October I will be returning to the fun time I had last year with the 2nd Annual 31 Monsters in 31 Days. I will be drawing a monster a day and getting them posted here for your entertainment. The plan is one monster a day but if something happens and I miss a day I promise that the 31 will be done in the 31 days. I plan to revisit some of the monsters from last year as well as create all new monsters for this years event. I hope you all enjoy the monsters and follow along every day in October to see what goes bump in the night . . . or day . . . or those in between times.

Thanks for checking out the drawings,
Kevin P. Johnson

Vampire

It's getting to the time of year when Vampires come out most often I thought I'd take a stake to one . . . yeah that was a bad joke but I'm sure you giggled a tiny bit on the inside.

This is a sketch done with just pencil and copic markers I wanted to try to do without the black edges on everything and see how it would look. I really like the look of it and I should be doing more drawings like this in the future.

Thanks for checking out the drawings,

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 31 - Halloween Man

Well for our last day in the 31 days I decided to do an original monster I've called Halloween Man. He's the guy that you run into when you are out Trick or Treating that looks like he is part of a Halloween yard display but then jumps out and scares you.

I hope that you have enjoyed the 31 Monsters in 31 Days I'll be back doing more monsters shortly. The schedule will not be daily because I've got to gt back to making comic books but I will be updating as often as possible and there will be more black and white and digitally colored art to try to keep the cost of art supplies down.

I will be making the 31 monsters done so far available as a sketch book very soon.

The colors are Prismacolor Markers and Copic Markers.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!,
Kevin P. Johnson

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 30 - Scarecrow

Scarecrows are used by farmers to keep birds away from their crops but many movies and comic books have been created featuring these guys. It seems that they are often represented with a pumpkin head or a burlap sack with eyes on it. In the movies these guys come to life and often have the power of fear that their victims can not overcome . . . unless they are Batman.

In my drawing I had no working brown markers so I decided that he was going to be black and white . . . and then I decided maybe his eyes could be a color and his hand the straw color he'd be filled with . . . I'm liking the way the hand came out but not so much the grey . . . maybe next time.

The colors are Prismacolor Markers and Copic Markers.

Get outta my fields,

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 19 - Ghost

GHOST! Everyone has heard of ghost right? They are the lost souls of the departed who have not been able to cross over to heaven or hell or someplace altogether different but regardless of where they want to go they are stuck here. Some ghost appear to people and just pass by but others are angry and cause noise and knock over mall items. Ghost are sometimes scary and sometimes they are just funny.

There have been thousands of movies and TV shows feature spooky spooks and the list could go on for days and I'm sure everyone out there knows a ghost story or two but check out this little gem of a song by Daniel Johnston called Casper The Friendly Ghost.

In many cases when a ghost is featured in a film that is animated the ghost often resembles a white bedsheets and has black eyes . . . this is also the easiest costume to make for Halloween besides going as yourself. In my drawing that is the type of ghost I went with because I love those silly guys.

The colors are Copic Markers.

BOO!

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 7 - The Shadow People

Look to the shadows and you may see something that you don't want to see. Shadow People are possibly the only monster that every person with the ability to see may have seen in their lifetime. The Shadow People are often seen from the corner of your eye and move very fast into the shadows when you look directly upon them. They may be ghost or spirits or something else altogether, but they are up to no good and their intent is harm to those in their presence. They are often around in dark places and love it when you are alone they are constantly moving things and making noises when nothing natural could have been the culprit which causes your mind to play tricks on you. The Shadow People want you to fear them they thrive on it some may even wish to remove you from their home by any means even death.These ghost want to make you seem out of your mind to the people around you causing your fear to become intensified and you may even possibly become their weapon against others if they can possess you.

There have been several movies about Shadow People including the Paranormal Activity movie series which does a great job of showing how these creatures work.

In my drawing well I drew the creature st the point of being seen and about to blend in with the shadows what looks like black flame is the shadow person beginning to make its body into full shadow. I have also added blue to help give form to what would only be black shadow . The colors are Copic Markers.

Leave the lights on . . . all of the lights,
