So crowded!

The final product!

Most characters come from the earlier poster Prep Sketches, but some were made up on the canvas.

I painted the whole thing with white acrylic paint to make it an even tone, then made the characters with India Ink and put in a little color in with nail polish.

Monster Prep Sketches, part I

Preparation sketches from the Ink Only Sketchbook for a canvas project.  I wanted to work on the characters before putting them on the canvas.  They would have to be done directly with india ink, without any pencils before hand, so I tried to get the reflexes right by warming up in the Ink Only Sketchbook.

It sort of worked.  More would need to be done.
