My wife & daughter gave me lots of canvas boards for Christmas, but no paint, lol!  I decided to fool around with it anyway, using colored pencils that blend like watercolor paint.  Another BIGFOOT, as usual, on 8"x10" canvas board.  Mike B. - next time, I'll try to experiment with actual paint, I promise  .  I just can't get away from the cartoony stuff!!  For what it's worth, this is also for sale .

Cool piece UP! Nice color and I love the hair! I've worked a bit with those kind of color pencil, they are a lot of fun. Nice job man!

[Illoman]

Mark, it's great!! I would really like to see what you do with actual paints! I bet it would ge awesome!! 

[Dr. Madd]

UP-Explore this style! I like it.

[Herr Hussmann]

Great job, U.P.! Are the pencils more like an oil pastel pencil?  The fact you didn't get any paint with your canvas might be what the late Bob Ross use to call a "happy accident". Definitely a venue worth exploring!

Dracula sketch I started about six years ago and finally finished tonight.





Pencil sketch of Emperor Palpatine from the same recently unearthed sketchbook.

Very nice.

All of these works are excellent...

The Dracula sketch was an attempt to draw a novel-accurate depiction, while imitating Edward Gorey's pen & ink style. Palpatine was just a pencil "exercise" in drawing a disfigured/monstrous human character.

Yes, U.P., let's see some more of those colored pencil pieces. It's quite a distinctive style.

creaturerevenge, more Godzilla, please!

[creaturerevenge]

I don't have any more Godzilla right now, but I do have these 2 pieces I just finished up A few days ago! One is a Mummy piece and the other is my tribute to the original pin-up ghoul: Vampira!

Thanks, HH - The pencils (which I've had forever!) are made by a German company called STAEDTLER.  Very easy to use - just like a regular colored pencil, but you can use water & a brush to smooth & blend it.  Kinda like a water coloring painting except with pencils - which I'm not afraid of.  Now, paint & paint brushes are a different story!

creaturerevenge - Beautiful work, as always!

Sketch I made & posted in the "McFarlane's MONSTERS Playset" thread in Modern Monster Toys, based on the never-produced "Bride of Frankenstein" playset from the unmade Series Three (which would have included the Bride and The Headless Horseman).

Man - I like your stuff, more & more, Count!  Cool art!

Considering I hadn't picked up a pencil or pen to sketch in 5 or 6 years, I'm so glad they've turned out as well as they have. But, I can tell my newer stuff suffers from my carpal tunnel surgeries in the early '90s. And, I'm developing arthritis in both hands. Right now, it doesn't really affect my drawing. I do notice that my model-painting skills aren't what they once were, though. That's one reason I don't do as many custom "Star Wars" figures as I used to do.
