Love the Alien(s) films/Prometheus/etc, but just watched "Dark Star" documentary on Giger for the first time today. Mind blown. Loved Ridley Scott and the fact this amazing creature from this franchise was inspired form Giger's incomparable style, the originator for the xenomorph design (let alone his background story correlating all/most his dreams to his artwork) has given myself a new found respect for this species and the story behind the creation.
Anywho - awesome sketch dude!!

No doubt your work is clean!
Yeah man! literally had no idea who this man was until today and my whole life has changed lmao very deep and informative, once you see him you'll understand why he designs the demonic shit he does hahaha but his style is completely unmatched + coincides with his personality.

This is actually a redesign of Giger's original. I believe this is from a promo shot for AVP, which, IIRC, reused the design from Resurrection.
It's a cool photo nevertheless and nicely drawn here.

Oh, really? I didn't know that. Good to know, thanks!

Yes, technically Giger's original was only in the first film, all since have been redesigns. The ones in Aliens were slightly redesigned by Stan Winston and his team, and I think the Alien 3 and Resurrection ones were done by Tom Woddruff Jr. and his team. In the case of Alien 3 however, Giger did submit designs that definitely influenced the final product, but he did not get credit for them.
This, of course, is not crucial information, but I think it can be fun/interesting to know nevertheless.

Oh wow! I never noticed there were that many redesigns. I always thought it was the same design used for all films. That's crazy. I like hearing about this kind of stuff (behind the scenes/making of movies). Thanks for sharing this info! Next time I revisit these films I'll keep an eye out for all the details.

Good to be of help. Make sure to check out the 'making of's afterwards, you should be able to find at least most of them on youtube.

Good drawing but try to pick angles and reference photos that are original. This picture is everywhere
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I agree. I was actually unaware that this reference was used a lot before I started drawing it. I chose this image because I liked the lighting and also wanted to draw something really dark. Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated.

Thank you very much!! Since Xeno's are dark, all I had to do was shade the whole drawing really dark. Then, I just pulled out an eraser to create the highlights and small details.

cool I always forget how an eraser can be a "drawing" tool too 
thanks for the tip! ^^

Please tell me you have a predator to go with it

Nice job on the pencil work, though it is a bit of a frequently copied picture so no points for originality. But to each their own.
