WIP Space Illustration
I thought maybe it was a little much showing this illustration so early in its development, but then I thought, why not. It's been so long since we've actually been able to share things with you we should make it up some how.
So, this is part one of some kind of space illustration I'm working on. Right now there's no ship and that car was just plain lame-sauce so I decided to draw over it.
Left 4 Dead Characters As Bears
Awesome illustrator and friend of Johnny Two Shoes, minkee has drawn all four characters from the original Left 4 Dead as bears!
Zombie bear mod anyone? Incredible idea. We've already seen the Teletubbies in Left 4 Dead as zombies which is possibly the creepiest thing ever. The idea of mauling (see what I did there) zombie bears has got to be 10 times better than Lala, Po and the gang.

Pencil Photoshop Brushes
These are the brushes I used to draw the zombie in "Drawing Without Reference" episode 1. I found them through Google and credit goes to the original author of these simple yet awesome brushes Nagel.
To install, navigate to your Photoshop installation folder and drop these brushes in Presets/Brushes before you start Photoshop or close and re-open Photoshop once installed. They should show up as NagelSeries33
Drawing Without Reference: Zombie
Today I wanted to brush up on some Photoshop, I sat down and decided there and then to draw a zombie, record it and upload it. I did it without reference and thought it would be a an awesome idea for a series of illustration videos "Drawing Without Reference". This is episode 1!
After I finished my Zombie, I got caught up in drawing some text for it (check it out above) and then I got sidetracked editing the video in After Effects.
In all it's 8:30 of video, the drawing took me over an hour because I was trying out new stuff along the way and I haven't ever drawn anything like this in Photoshop before. I increased the video speed by 10 times so it's bearable to watch, I hope you like it!
