Skeletons are fun to draw . . . especially since I just make them up.

Thanks for looking,

31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 8 - Skeletons

Well who doesn't like big toothed skeletons? I brought back this monster because they are fun to draw and super silly looking. I've posted two versions of this because after the initial coloring I didn't like the background but since I scanned it already why not let you choose which one that you like best. Another technical issue is that the scanner I've been using does not like the light grey markers and everything is a bit "hotter" than it should be. Anyway here are a couple of skeletons wearing t-shirts relating to my old comic book Strange City Heroes.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 9 Skeleton Army

The worst army ever assembled! I don't think there is anything else to say about these guys. Good for scares but they are only gonna have like 3 or 4 hit points.

The drawing is done with Copic Markers, Prismacolor Markers and Sharpie on 11" x 14" Bristol Board.

You Got This,

Voodoo Girl

Hey there everyone,

This drawing is of a nude woman with Voodoo makeup on. I chose to leave here eyes white because I thought it might give it a kind of creepy or weird feel. Originally I planed on doing just the first color scheme with the orange hair but then decided to do two recolors in Adobe Photoshop with blue and green hair. I have included all three versions here as well as the black and white uncolored original.

This kind of makeup appears around New Orleans a lot during Mardi Gras and Halloween but you can see it almost year round at if you look closely. Superfans of the New Orleans Saints and arena football team the New Orleans Voodoo can bee seen wearing this makeup as well. I have not researched it's origins at this time (I should have) but I have always thought it looked cool.

These are 11" x 17" and are available as prints for $15.00 each or all three color versions for $35.00 (plus shipping and handling) contact me if you are interested.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 29 - Skeletons

Skeletons . . . as far as the undead go these guys are the least scary and least effective. Usually when you see skeletons in movies they are the minions of some evil character and used as an army. When there are many of them and they are armed they put up a good fight but on an individual basis they are really easy to defeat as their bones are easy to break apart. The only purpose of a skeleton is to serve its master.

Even though I made skeletons sound a bit lame they are really fun to draw. In my drawing I've gone with the style of skeleton that I've developed (I do zombies like this as well) with giant teeth and loose fitting clothes. I think the teeth make them fun if not funny and make them more interesting to look at.

The colors are Copic Markers.

My bones are aching,
Kevin P. Johnson
