So, while I do not profess to be a great (or even passably competent) illustrator, I do enjoy drawing and I never do it enough. Of course, there are about 40,000 things I never get to do enough, so there’s nothing particularly special about that. So, as I do enjoy drawing and have been wanting to draw, I decided I would give this 30 Day Drawing Challenge a shot.
Seeing as I draw in a sketch book, these illustrations will be scanned directly from said sketchbook. That said, I apologize in advance if there are any weird shadows from the sketch book’s binding. So without further ado:
So, I started drawing myself, and started realizing how sort of sad I was portraying myself. Then, I noticed that I kinda looked like Satan stuck waist deep in ice. So, from there came some wings and a parade of some of my favorite monsters. Left to right, top to bottom (roughly) they are:
Young woman possessed by Lust and Man possessed by Avarice. These were monsters I created for a Little Fears campaign.
Munnin (From They Eat Eyes), Strangling Imp (From The Gypsy), Human-sized walking pig (Which I just think is creepy), Karakasa, Oni, and Tanuki (All of which were in El Monstruo).
In the foreground is my contribution to Yokai folklore: The Boob Grabbing Yokai. It is the creature a man is turned into when he mistreats a woman by touching her breasts when she doesn’t want them touched.
I should probably clean up the drawing a bit, but I think that it is a fine start. It leaves room for improvement.
(I updated this post so that the image is more visible)
Yeah, that pig is creepy.
Pigs walking erect and cavorting with malevolent spirits can never be good news.
