Description
Yet another drawing I did while following along with Feng via a Gnomon Workshop DVD. There are some obvious differences in the designs of the creature but the biggest difference is that he worked with pencil and paper, calling it done once he laid down the darkest color his pencil made.After reaching the point in the DVD when he moved on I instead added a warm grey fill to give my virtual paper a middle area. Then I used a white color pencil to pull out some high lights. Finally I threw in a dark green multiply layer to give some color contrast to the piece.
It was a good exercise.

Your creature kind of looks like that monster from Metroid.

Ripley? I thought he was more like a Pterodactyl. Maybe I'm confusing my Metroid monsters.
I don't know where Feng got the idea. He basically took a thumbnail and blew it up like 300%. Then he made a refined and detailed drawing on an overlay.
I was tempted in going in a completely unique direction this time around (since I've been doing Feng demo's for the past 4 days), but I'm really trying to pick apart his style and the only way to do that is to try and match him stroke for stroke (without tracing).

Please help i bought a subscription to gnomon and i have no idea how to practice. I literally just pause it every once in a while and follow along?

That's exactly how you do it. Just start with lower volumes. Stuff that introduces the interface and when they do something new, pause it and try it. Then once you've finished move on, but don't forget to come back and try the same lesson only instead of following along to a T, apply the process to your own original idea. It will help cement the method the artist might use.

Thanks. I can't really claim that's it's entirely my own, but the exercise was fun.

Yeah, that's the name. Actually your monster kind of looks like a cross between the two. Still, it's scary either way.
