Description
A study I did recently, because if my current study has shown me one thing it's that I need to expand on the things I know how to draw. The composition isn't that great, because it started out as just some very rough sketches that I ended up liking enough to develop a little further, but overall I'm fairly happy with it. The first few were pretty generic, but as I went along I got a better feel for what I was doing.Related content

Creepy. Yeah this is an excellent studyΒ
it's always interesting to see experiments in art.
Very good job
thanks for sharing

Wow this is really good for what began as a sketch, and the composition actually turned out really nice! I really like the space between the the big monsters and the one small one, and the way you blended the spider into the background really helped. I also like the repetition of the eyes. It all came together really nicely

Experimenting is key and you'll definitely get the hang of it with more practice! The image you've drawn here is sending various messages and impressions, I believe. The Wolf and The human monster and the monster with horns tell a story for themselves (in this case, in contrast to the right side of the image, more beastly like, something connected to power/corruption and nature, whereas you have the little guy with the shadow people behind him and the spider on the right side that probably could be associated with a horror theme. Serenity in the creepiness.Β
The basics of painting this art-piece is in my opinion very well done. The saturation and the highlights (especially with the wolf fur and the eyes of the little doll) really make them pop out the most and it separates them from the rest (back) of the painting! You're well acquainted with the human anatomy and as you've stated you try to reach out to different things to expand your knowledge.
All in all, I think it's a good piece with hard work put into it, good jobΒ Β

Thank you so much!Β
I definitely agree, designing stuff like this really requires a lot of trying things out. Next time I'm also planning on mapping the kind of values and composition I want out beforehand, so that I don't really have to worry about that anymore when I'm going to town with the monster designs :')

OH BOY!!!! ITS SPooky TIME!!! YEAH!!!
Wow man! this is some crazed badass and horrifying shit man! I LOVE IT!!! (I am a monster, horror, gore fan so yeah, I pretty much am a sick fuck XD) Needless to say, Lets get back on the drawing. I want to ask, Is this supposedly a pin up of monsters that you like? I have to note that, Im not trying to let down your originality but the monster that is right above the werewolf reminds of the creepypasta character, "The rake". Or maybe the grim reaper? Anyhow I like how you made the characters very menacing and unfriendly. I think drawings like this are perfect fit for a halloween time, but I mean hey, horror is meant for any season and anytime. I really honestly like the extensively long legs on the spider because that would be PERFECT for chilling people with arachnaphobia XD. Honestly for this piece of art, I really dont have any sort of Criticism but rather I think that if you added in a more human like monster like Jason Voorhees or michael myers would make the piece stand out a bit. The lighting effects on the werewolf is pretty impressive because from many art I see, This type of lighting is not common so I really like how you incorporated small details in such as the blood and the saliva.Β
I hope that this information helped you!Β
XD

Hello!
So glad you like this piece and thank you so much for the feedback and the time you took to write it all out!Β
It's not really a pin up of monsters, more something of a study, which is also why they still look very generic; I guess the generic ideas just kind of had to be let out before the more weird stuff could come out : D.
I was working on summonable creatures for an RP character of mine, and from that this piece was born, basically.
As for human monsters; I don't think I'll be adding any pre-existing human/humanoid ones, but I do think some more humanoid types can be fun. I'm definitely going to do another monster study somewhere in the future where the humanoids will be getting a little more attention!

Hello, I'm no expert, but I noticed a few things that I think your study could benefit from if you want to develop it further. You said that the composition is not that good, but I disagree. I think the composition could potentially work if you move that baby-like creature away from the corner and placed it closer to the other creatures as to even out the space around it.
I also noticed that most of the creatures, particularly the wolf and the horned monster, almost seem to be looking directly at the baby-like monster. Except for the monster that's looking straight at "us". One thing you could do is redraw that monsters head so that it is also looking at it, which would create a bit of narrative, or a question like: why are they all looking at the baby monster? What could be so special about it that all eyes are on it? just a thought.
finally, i wanted to add that the level of detail on that wolf is amazing! There's quite a bit of detail on the monsters faces but the same cannot be really said for their bodies (save for the wolf and the spider). The other creatures bodies don't seem to have this level of detail though, so I would suggest working on the more "vague" or "soft" looking areas so that they match the same style.Β
Overall, great study! Very unnerving and dark! Anyway, These are just things I noticed, they may not necessarily be the best ideas, but I do think that this study has potential for being developed further! Keep it up :3

Hello! First of all I want to thank you for taking the time to post such an elaborate, constructive comment.
The main reason I was so displeased by the composition, was that it was very 'heavy' on the left side, with less going on on the right, but the way you put it, the little guy being the center of attention basically, actually does put it in a different light.
I hadn't really given the dynamics within the group much thought, but giving that some thought is a good idea. The tiny one could be a lot stronger than it looks, maybe.
I'm not sure yet wether I want to update this one or just do a new monster study altogether (especially since I have a few ideas for new disturbing creatures as well), but I'm going to put your feedback to good use either way!
Thanks again! : D

Absolutely, I'm coming from Project Comment! But even so I wanted to take more time to critique people's work from time to time, so I hope that was at somewhat helpful :3 Anyway, good luck with your monster-building endeavors!Β
