Description
I guess as a sequal to my Alien drawing;I thought it was about time I got around to drawing his arch enemy 'Predator'
I have to admit when starting this I thought it would be 'Fun' - how wrong could I be!!! The amount of detail, differant textures, surfaces and elements mixed with an enormous amount of blackout led to making this one of the longest drawings I have tackled - also one of the most frustrating! 4 hours on just drawing black is not my idea of fun!!
Anyway, happy with the result - hope you like it too
Drawn on Bristol Board Smooth - A3
Traditional and Mechanical pencils - 4H, HB, 4B and 8B

Brilliant work!
I've never been able to get a Predator to look right, but I think you did a fine job!

You can start off thinking it is quite a simple subject to draw, but the detail is incredible - it is in fact a very complex piece with a large variety of textures, materials and finishes. Glad you liked it

It's like identical to the AVP game's first Predator you get to play with, did you use him as example?

Yes (I am told by my teenage son) the reference picture is from the AVP game - I just thought it was a great picture of Predator, and one I hadn't seen done before?

I had never noticed until someone else mentioned it - now it draws me into his smile! Can't imagine Predator smiling

Paul-Shanghai In reply to AG-sArt [2012-11-11 12:47:30 +0000 UTC]
With pencil! Just a normal 8B Graphite pencil, it took about 4 hours, I know I could have used an ink pen or marker pen, but I couldn't bring myself to use anything other than a pencil!!

Awesome Cause every time when I do such work, my scanner "eats" up the darkness, so I have to edit the art with Photoshop >.< Kinda sucks at times
