Drawing started life as one of my lunchtime sketches so the usual rules for one of those apply, no reference, etc. I scanned it and brought it into Photoshop for a bit of digital rendering, just some inking and a little shadow work.

Yes another one. What can I say, they are enjoyable to draw. This one was started at lunch one day last week, blue pencil in my sketchbook, no ref. I don’t tend to have an idea of what I’m going to draw when I do my lunchtime sketches, I just start doodling, usually just a head shape then sweep in a spine and shoulders and see what I see. A lot of adjusting can go on from there as I slash in where the hips will be be and make a rough rib cage. When I did this one she ended up having a very contorted pose, but I took it as a challenge. Contorted poses are hard to draw even when you have reference, to say nothing of when you have to yank it all out of your noggin’. I think I did a fair job. I did most of the basic roughing out the pose during my lunch break and then finished off the drawing before some friends came over for dinner that night.

Sorry for the lack of updates, been a hectic couple of months. Anyway, here is a lunchtime sketch to hold you over. I love this one so much I’m going to find a way to fit it into one of the fight scenes in the comic, shouldn’t be hard, there are several zombie fight scenes.
