How to Draw an Alien

In this video I draw a weird tentacle alien for my daily sketchbook. I used Bic Pens and markers on Strathmore toned tan paper. I also talk about my drawing process and draw in real time.
Thanks for watching!

20-25 minutes, perfect videos!

This is really good. This is the first one of these daily videos I watch, but I'm going to watch the rest now. Personally, I like this kind of content of real time drawing with commentary, and it's hard to find, because not everybody can draw and talk for a video at the same time. Thank you!

Really cool

[@christianvenson1563]

Solid timing and I love watching you draw and talk. Keep it up. You've got a fan in me

[@SketchyTrav]

Thanks a bunch Christian! I'm enjoying doing these real time videos and going forward I think I'm going to do some longer videos so that I can put out some finished illustrations to go along with the shorter time frame sketches.

You should do a fear series... take different phobias and make characters based off those phobias. Arachnophobia, Trypophobia (tiny holes), Acarophobia (parasitic bugs like lice and ticks), trypanophobia (shots). Similar to Junji Ito.

Good Idea babe!!

Hey man Thanks for keeping it coming, I know with kids and a life it's an obstacle course so the fact your grinding these out I really Appreciate. Grabbed some gel pens to try out on that exact tone pad there wanted to try & channel some of the technique you bring to it & I gotta ask do the bic pens hold up especially well because my non bic tips were hit or miss as far as markmaking. And I would like to say it comes off like there's a question on if you doing this is a good thing🤔 and for me I'm here for it all. Like you said watching how an artist organizes there thoughts as it comes together is just engaging no matter the length or subject your drawing, like if there is a nugget of knowledge (which there are plenty) I'm all in. I especially appreciate the blocking in approaches and take a lot of perspective from it. Would love to see your strategy of attack on some fur. Hopefully this feeds the evil algorithm, thanks again ✌

Tan paper all day

[@aj22231]

I'm definitely a toned tan/grey person (now lol) you introduced me to it so thx. I would love to see your take on william birkin from RE2. The form where he is holding the pipe. I know you like creature drawings and he's half human half zombie and just looks cool with a big eye arm holding a pipe lol I recommended the predator a while back and that made it into your personal picks for favorite drawings of that year so, cough cough 😎👍

[@SketchyTrav]

The RE2 stuff would be really fun to do a series of drawings similar to those designs.

Instead of calling them tutorials do “how I draw “insert tutorial subject” or “tips and tricks i use”
