Movie Sketch Project #22

Well, it's the last Movie Sketch Project of the year, and I have to say I'm kind of proud I've made it this far. I missed a couple of weeks, and some were half-assed doodles, but for others I made more than one per week so it probably evens out. I really enjoy making these pieces, and find myself walking out of almost every movie with a half-formed inspiration for a new drawing or poster, wishing I had time to try them all. I've been experimenting a bit more and working on my digital skills, which I think have been improving. I've also been endeavoring to avoid over-working my pieces and delving into more minimalistic ideas (both of which are honestly quite difficult for me). Anyway, I hope to continue to be inspired and to create things regularly for all of next year. Thanks, internet, for keeping me motivated. If this is new to you, try taking a look through my previous entries and let me know what you think! And of course, my favorite works are up for sale if you're interested. Carry on to today's double entry!

Anyway, this week I have two pieces for you since last time I was without a scanner and kind of pooped out. The first is a diptych drawing dedicated to that awesome tomboy drummer Watts, as played by Mary Stuart Masterson in Some Kind of Wonderful. I had some fun with the red ink here. Buy the original.


Next up is a digital painting for a movie that I've reviewed for 366 Weird Movies- but it hasn't posted yet: Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl. I actually thought it was just ok, but I dug the idea of a knife-wielding Frankenstein Girl who can unscrew her limbs like Sally in The Nightmare Before Christmas. So here's an image inspired by the character, started off as a pen drawing and evolved in photoshop. I'm still fiddling with it, mainly figuring out what sort of text to do on the left-hand side and touching up some lines. So this is a bit of an in-progress shot.


PS I hope everyone has a fun New Year's Eve!
