Here's a quick alien reminiscent of one of the alien races from Star Trek.

October Monster Madness 2011?

So back in 2008, I did a series of illustrations throughout October called, October Monster Madness. It was part fun, part challenge. It can be hard drawing different types of monsters, coloring them and doing it every day! It takes discipline. I'm thinking of doing it again. We'll see. Here's a link to the 2008 series, http://mattsketchpad.blogspot.com/search/label/October%20Monster%20Madness%202008. And here is one of my favorite new monsters I've drawn.

And here is monster #8, which is a space alien.

Technical details: I used two Pilot Precise Rolling Ball pens, one V7 fine and one V5 extra fine. I didn't use any pencil, choosing to sketch with the pen. It creates a more improvisational line. Then I scanned them in and colored them using CorelDraw X4.
