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

I am not necessarily against it, just that I had never really tried it, after finishing the drawing itself, I didn't want to experiment with another medium and potentially ruin the piece, so I sharpened my pencils and stuck with graphite

You should see the original - I need to upload a really hi-res version, or some close-ups. Far more work went into this than a traditional portrait where you have just skin, hair, eyes and teeth
Thanks as always for the very kind comments

Oh I can imagine. I'd never attempt a multi-texture piece like that any time soon XD
You're very welcome!
