Creative Challenge: Week 2 Monster Tango

I wanted to post this last week--as you can see from the subject--but it took me a few days to complete it. This challenge is going to be quite that, I think!

Creative Challenge: Week One - Tango 3

I stepped out of my comfort zone and decided no more drawing from photos. After a few lame attempts at sketching inanimate objects dancing, I got excited about the idea of ghouls doing the tango. So here they are!

By the way, thanks everyone for your comments. I do appreciate them!

Creative Challenge: Week One - Tango 2

Welcome to everyone who joined the 3-week challenge! I'm looking forward to seeing how your work and mine progresses. If anyone else wants to join the fun, just let me know and I will add you to the side bar list.

So here are more tango sketches. See previous sketch here.

It has been fun to use photo reference, but I would like to take these to another level. I have been thinking about how to translate these into illustrations for children. So far the children's sketches I did were not working for me. The thought occurred that I could be temporarily stuck here. I don't want to be in drawing-from-photo land for too long. It was good for a while, but I'm hoping I can get away tomorrow!

Creative Challenge: Week One - Tango 1

Today is my first post for a new 3-week challenge. If you want to read more about it, see my previous post. If you want to join the fun, just leave me a comment and I can add your link to the 3-week challenge list.

Above is a sketch for Illustration Friday prompt "tango." I used photo reference, which is how I sometimes start. Not sure where I will take this, but it was fun studying the action and the positive and negative shapes of the dancers.
