Last week, I posted a drawing of Galactus and I figured I’d follow up on that. I usually enjoy looking over other artist’s processes, usually while I’m seething with jealousy over their art blogs. I enjoy looking over these because it breaks down their art into something I can understand; it not only informs me about how they do what they do, but it also gives me a bit of inspiration. Maybe I can do that for someone?

The first step was creating the idea from my brain. I came up with the image of Galactus hovering behind the Earth while sitting in a 3-day Javascript class. Hours of the class were mind-numbing, so I kept awake by drawing in the back of my work notebook. When I got home, I refined it into whatever this is, using some printer paper and a Sharpie:

When I originally sketched ol’ Galactus, I had envisioned the drawing to be sort of silly. He’d have a big space fork and a big space knife, maybe even a big space bib?

Explaining my process and more! After the jump

Here is Galactus the Devourer. Marvel cosmic being, eater of worlds. I had a lot of fun with this one! I think I might post my step-by-step process in the future, it might interest some people.

Keep working. Don’t get comfortable. Don’t be complacent. Stay Hungry.

A few years ago, it was not 2014. Almost unbelievable, I know. These photos were taken on New years Eve all the way back when it was 2012. You can find these, and many things like them, on my Flickr page.
