Cover of a cover

So a couple of weeks ago I posted a cover image I did for the graphic novel I’m working on. I wanted to go back to that drawing and try out a different style inspired by the sketches I’ve been doing lately.

I don’t think I will be changing the graphic novel to this style , I’m not a fan of the sketch lines and hatching but I do like some of the colouring, especially the shield and around the torso. I might use a a bit of a mixture of this and the original for my final colouring style.

Blood Sucker

So I recently discovered there is a frog called the Vampire Flying Frog (how did I not already know about this thing?!?) but I was greatly disappointed when I found out it gets it’s name from little fang looking things the tadpole has.

Anyway, this is how I originally pictured them in my head.

More Sketching

I’m quite enjoying these likeness studies at the moment and I think they are important for me right now to get back to working on my fundamentals, so you may see a few more drawings like this over the next week or so. I’ll still try to throw in a few fun ones though when I have a good idea.

For now, here is a poison dart frog.

Sketchy Frog

A little different today, just doing a sketch in clip studio because I don’t have my visual diary with me. Also getting back to the basics a bit because I have noticed while working on my comic that my frog head likeness has started to slip away a little.

Brute Force

So I fell in love with the purple frog yesterday while I was drawing it and decided I want to put on into my comic, so I’m just playing around with the design a bit.

Purple Blob

Today’s frog is an interesting one, it is a Purple Frog, also know as a Pignose Frog. I quite like this little guy and I think I will start putting them in different situations.
