Description Just a quick sketch

I just got 'The art of Tim Burton', an awesome book which chronicles hundreds of professional and personal artwork by Tim Burton, and felt inspired to draw this.

Quite different from my usual colours, I also did Edward Scissorhands in a similar style [link]

I possibly overdid the blood, but I feel this looks okay for the time it took. And I ran out of space for the feet, but decided to leave it as is.

I love the stylization, no need to draw things proportional, the expressive lines are just perfect.

What is this thing you call "proportion"?
Thank you so much, it was good to post something that took maybe ten minutes instead of the usual attention to detail

I'm usually an detail oriented person, but I think it's also good to do the quick stuff. I was skimming through your gallery and this just happened to catch my attention, I think because it was so bold. You have to get up lose to a work to noticed the details but a drawing like this can be eye catching from far away, it's a good thing to think about.

You are very kind, I do get carried away with the details, and something like this makes a nice change, I'm glad it caught your eye

I think this piece is wonderful!!
The blood is a really lovely touch and I think it's just cool to see you doing traditional art in the first place.

I think it's very well done, and please! Don't be shy from drawing with the old pen and paper, you've got skills!!

Great work!

Thank you, this was enjoyable and I think I'll post a greater variety of stuff in future.Seriously though, too much blood? Anyway, I'm glad you like this, I was reminded of you as I was doing it "Trini would know how to make this cool" etc
Oh, and everything here starts on paper, you know

XD I think it fits (the blood I mean) it serves as a nice background for a simple image, you know? I like it. :3

Thank you, it's a great book, if there's a Forbidden Planet near you, they'll probably have it, that's where I got mine. It is expensive though and very heavy.

Cool
I think the (quite) large amounts of blood suit the style of the pic
I love his expression

memorypalace In reply to Caranth [2010-03-11 23:51:00 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, I started with a few splats of blood, then a few more, then a few more...you get the idea
It's a lot of fun to draw in this style, you should give it a try

Caranth In reply to memorypalace [2010-03-11 23:54:45 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome
It's so easy to get carried away...
Hmm,you're right,i should try something new

memorypalace In reply to Caranth [2010-03-12 00:23:44 +0000 UTC]

Start with a faint pencil outline, then ink with loose lines
Oh, I'm not saying you NEED to try something new, just doing this was a nice break from my usual style, and you might ppreciate doing something in a different style for a change

Thank you so much! And you should try and find that book "The art of Tim Burton", it's awesome

I want it so bad, but...doesn't it cost an arm and a leg? (Or, in this case, a head?)

memorypalace In reply to Jackolyn [2010-03-12 00:42:16 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it is pricey (mine was £50 ), but it is a very interesting insight. Ask at the library, but it is big and heavy.
