Creative Mondays 122 – Rick Grimes

“What is Creative Mondays?

Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.

So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”

I’m a pretty crazy ‘Walking Dead’ fan and I’ve been meaning to create something inspired by the show for some time. Season 4 just finished and I put some time aside to draw one of my favourite characters, Rick Grimes.

This started out as a sketch in my notebook from a couple of reference photos I found on the web. I scanned the sketch and added the colouring, any finer details (blood, scratches etc…) and background all within Photoshop.
