I am drawing girls and tentacles

Well, only one girl and a bunch of zombies and tentacles to be exact.

Just a little thread showing the progression of how a little doodle turns into a full piece.

The entire image is done in photoshop CS with a wacom tablet, which is how I do 95% of my art lately. No actual physical media is involved.

So first up I did this little doodle of Kristy from my comic kristy vs. the zombie army:

I really liked how this came out, considering it was a five minute or so sketch, so I went ahead and came up with a little "story to drop her into:

One person in a crumbling graveyard against an army of zombies and tentacles, this I can get behind.

Next up, a quick ink job in photoshop on Kristy:

Hmm... Something isn't right, she needs some He-Man-esque battle damage:

Woo, nice.

Next up, I really wasn't feeling the zombies too much, so I dropped them all together and updated the rough with a bunch more tentacles:

This I'm starting to like, and so starts the inking:

The horde of tentacles is growing at an alarming rate!

All of the tentacles are done now. I am moving onto background details and working on the gravestones.

All the main page elements are complete. Now I need to go back and start adding more details, shadows, and blacking out areas:

More and more details added. Also did the first bit of blacking out some background elements:

Close up of the bird. He is looking unhappy as birds in cemeteries tend to:

Some details shots of stuff that's kinda hard to see in the non-fullsize version like this gravestone. This looks awfully familiar...:

A neat little skull with wings:

And you can click right here to see a full size version. It's not quite finished, but for now we'll say it's pretty close.

I'll most likely revisit soon to color it...

I'll keep this thread and the first post updated as I finish more.

Lemme know what you think!

That is lovely. I think the sky should be a sunset if you colour it.

Hello, I am a painter and I love to draw with pencil and oil pastels. My favorite option is drawing of girl because it seems to me that the girl is easier to draw than a boy. So I always want to make different kind of drawing of girls. But I have a few problems in this art that is in the finishing job of the drawing of face of a girl. I want to develop my skill. Are there such references where I can get help to improve my skill?
