The Cheshire Cat from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (with Progress Shot)

Another challenge, another new thing to try. This time I try to draw animal in a form of The Cheshire cat from my absolutely favorite fairy tale Alice in Wonderland. The fictional character is popularised by Lewis Carroll in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and known for its distinctive mischievous grin. I always been fascinated with the fantasy level of Alice in Wonderland since I was little. So, drawing the character has always been on my list, until now.

Here’s my artwork #77, The Cheshire Cat from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland

The Cheshire Cat from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland – Charcoal on Paper

I used Derwent’s chracoal pencils for this drawing. I haven’t used charcoal for a while and it was nice to feel the intensity color its produced compared to graphite pencils.

Here are a couple of progress shot of the drawing. I don’t have a lot of progress shot because I can finish the drawing quite fast compared to the last couple of drawings that I did.

Jacob and Evie Frye from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (with Progress Shot)

After my milestone drawing last month. I tried to make another A3 size drawing and another Assassin’s Creed character. This time I choose Jacob and Evie Frye from the latest Assassin’s Creed series. The story is set in Victorian era London and follows twin assassins Jacob and Evie Frye as they navigate the corridors of organized crime, and take back the city from Templar control.

So here’s my Artwork #76, Jacob and Evie Frye from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Syndicate:

My Milestone Drawing: Legendary Assassins from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed (with Progress Shot)

After several months juggling between working, having a vacation and drawing, I finally able to finish this artwork. The Legendary Assassins from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed is finally done! I consider this artwork as my milestone drawing because this is the first time ever I tried to draw using a bigger size paper (A3) fron the usual A4 and A5 size paper. The longest amount of time I ever spent on making a single artwork (A total of 45 frickin hours people!). The most number of people drawn in one artwork (5 legendary assassins). What a challenge I have done to myself hahaha. O well, it’s all worthed I think, because I am sooo satisfied on how this drawing turns out.

Here it is my Artwork #75, The Legendary Assassins from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed

365 Artwork Challenge: The Flash and Arrow Full Figure (Step-By-Step)

Another drawing challenge that I never made before is a full figure drawing of a person. In this drawing I made TWO full figure of The Flash and Arrow. Yeah, I know… sometimes I don’t know when to stop haha… As you can guess, I spent more time than usual to finish this drawing. The small details are making my eyes watery. But I think it is all worth it because I love how it turned out.

So this is my artwork #69, The Flash and Arrow Full Figure, graphite pencil on A4 paper.

365 Artwork Challenge: The NEW Joker – Jared Leto in Suicide Squad (Step-by-Step)

I’m not gonna kill you, I’m just gonna hurt you really.. really.. bad

I find myself always fascinated with DC Comics character and then… Jared Leto comes along as Joker in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie. I am instantly hooked and decide to draw him. I found a lot of reference from pinterest and I think this picture is quite a representative of one very disturbed and psychotic evil man.

So here it is, Jared Leto as The Joker in my Artwork #67

365 Artwork Challenge: Star Wars Drawing on Moleskine, R2D2

The next Star Wars drawing is the cutest robot R2D2. I wanted to draw him together with C3PO but I can’t find a good reference picture. This one I got from Pinterest.

So, here’s Artwork # 63, pencil drawing on Moleskine Sketchbook

Star Wars Drawing Series – R2D2 Pencil on Moleskine

As usual I used Faber-Castell 9000 graphite pencil from H to 8B. I think in terms of graphite pencils, Faber-Castell is still the best. I used it all the time. And it worked perfectly on Moleskine sketchbook that has a very smooth surface paper.

That is all guys, hope you enjoyed it. Have an awesome day!

365 Artwork Challenge: Still Can’t Get Enough of Game of Thrones – Jon Snow on Moleskine Sketchbook

Well, what can you say, I just can’t get enough of The Game of Thrones series. Here’s a small drawing of Jon Snow that I made using charcoal pencil on my Moleskine Sketchbook.

Artwork #58 “You know nothing Jon Snow”

I used Derwent charcoal pencil set. The paper on my Moleskine sketchbook is so smooth that it’s kind of hard not to smudge the drawing all over my hands. As soon I as finish, I put Winsor & Newton fixative on top of the drawing.

That’s all guys, have an awesome day!!
