Here are this weekend’s Inktober drawings. Two different subjects with two different feels. I did not plan for it but there is a Beauty and the Beast feel.

When I’m feeling like everything is going wrong and I question if I’m just wasting my time by doing art, I go back to drawing monsters. And the classic monsters are my favorites to draw. This is the first ink drawing that I’ve done in a while that I’m pretty happy with. For fun I also scanned the pencil drawing before the inks.

Today’s portrait is of Julie Adams, who plays Kay in the Creature From the Black Lagoon. It’s another watercolor painting, where I’m trying to stay close to the Zorn palette. In the movie she is the main object of the Gillman’s attention.
October is the time of the year called Inktober, where people are doing a month’s worth of ink drawings and I’m thinking about joining in for my first time. And the reason I bring this up is because I’m thinking that the Creature From the Black Lagoon film might be a main subject of the drawings I will do for the month.

A little more than a week left in the 30 days and we are witnessed to a man who fears the full moon and when the wolfsbane blooms. Larry Talbot, who is better known as the Wolfman, is the subject of today’s painting. Lon Chaney is the actor who portrays the monster. And he is the only actor to play the same character in all of the Universal Studio monster movie sequels.

Since the movie was shot is black and white I thought I would also post the ink wash version of this before any watercolor paint was added.

For the halfway mark of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge I decided to go with the main baddie from my favorite classic horror movie, The Creature From the Black Lagoon.
I have some mixed feelings about this one because of the time limit I had for the piece and the amount of detail on the Gillman’s suit. I want to get in there and draw all the scales and bumps on him but it just doesn’t make sense to do it. Not only do I have so little time to do the drawing but I also know that it will unfortunately disappear underneath the gouache paint. And that’s exactly what started to happen on this one.
