Hello everybody,
I know it's a bit early but with every store screaming "HALLOWEEN!!" at me and selling skulls and candy already I thought it might be fun to post something related to that.
So here it is: a handpicked selection of my skull and bones drawings from over the years...
As you already know my main focus has always been on comics, then pin-up, leading to graphic and erotic fine art.
But whenever I needed break from drawing and inking humans I regularly turned to one of the oldest motives in the art world: the skull.
You can find them in so many eras.
From ancient to classical art, abstract art or surrealism, in still lifes, fine arts, graphic art, tattoo art, fashion and so many more...
To me personally, it has always been fun to draw skulls in different styles.
Firstly to get a break from the daily grind of drawing realistic or photo-realistic art but also to use different tools like ink, markers, ballpoint, brushes or even blood.
It's nice to draw rougher textures, quicker lines, experimenting with different papers and different sizes.
So here are the first pieces of my little skull collection, I hope you enjoy them:
As you can see they are taken from my instagram account which is pretty much dead at this time.
But as I am getting into Steemit more and more I will also update my account very soon and keep it updated with new works and exciting news on future projects.
And there's lots to come.
