Day 276: A Pair of Scheming Goblins

A Pair of Scheming GoblinsOctober seems to be the month for drawing challenges.  Between #Inktober and #Drawlloween, I’m pretty spoiled for choice.  I doubt I’ll be able to keep up with it all but I figured I’d give it a shot at least for today.  No doubt it will all fall apart tomorrow because tomorrow will be a busy enough drawing day without throwing extra challenges into the mix.  We’ll see how it goes though.

The #Inktober challenge should be simple enough at least for the first couple of weeks.  I have about 14 pages left in my pen sketchbook so that part shouldn’t be a problem.  After that I’ll have to decide whether or not to finish out the month.  I also found out about #Drawlloween today though.  That seems like a pretty fun challenge with different prompts for each day of the month.  Obviously I already missed the first two but today’s prompt was Goblins so I drew these two.  I’m not sure how halloweeny they are and I wasn’t too happy with how they turned out but they are at least fairly gobliny.

I’ll probably end up dropping in and out of #Drawlloween.  Like I said, I already missed the first two days.  Also it will occasionally interfere with my other themed days.  I do like some of the prompts though so I will keep it in mind and probably won’t give up on it altogether.

      1. That’s cool that you used people photos to draw your goblins! An art director told us (at a workshop I went to) that we should always use reference photos. I need to be better about that. 🙂

      2. Yes, I’ve heard that too. I’m pretty good about it entirely through necessity. When I draw something without a reference the results are not pretty … I mean even more not pretty …

      3. Lol, that may be … but I just really didn’t like how these goblins turned out … and that was with a reference photo so I’d hate to think how they would have turned out without one.
