| Watercolor works well to depict an Elemental. |
As I was growing up, Bernie Wrightson and Len Wein's Swamp Thing TM DC Comics, was an enormous influence on my work. Many comics fans comment on that when they see some of my horror sketches. I love Wrightson's art and artist's like Franklin Boothe, Jack Davis, and Roy Krenkel who influenced him greatly.
This miniature sketch of Swamp Thing was painted very loosely for an image only 1.5"x 2". Working loose, tight, large, small, with an airbrush, in oils, watercolor or whatever medium ...it's all stimulating and beautiful.
Two enlarged details below show some interesting and painterly suggestions from the subject at left.
