frowny mcgee

I was watching a particularly grotesque horror film last night, called ‘Inside’ and the main character was such a frowny face even before she was being attacked by some crazy woman that wanted her unborn child.

So I started doodling while I watched it. This is the result. It’s not a direct likeness of the girl, but it’s similar. In case you can’t tell, I love fringes.

    awsome drawing mate. Do you colour these in photoshop?

  • Paul McClintockZuul, the Gatekeeper replied

    Yes. It’s entirely digital. Corel Painter for the sketch, and digital inking, as well as basic white base and fills, and then I move it to Photoshop to finalise the colours and treatment and export to finished file.

    Wonderful drawing Paul. I’m assuming this is from the famous song as well – “Me And Frowny McGee”?

  • Paul McClintockZuul, the Gatekeeper replied

    Sure, why not?

    I absolutely love your illustration style Paul!! It’s so refined yet a bit sketchy and I like that about it. I wish that I could be half as good as you on drawing.

    cool drawing. i can never seem to get this kind of style down. i use a wacom but i use illustrator. i only use photoshop if i draw it by hand and want to colour it. good job though.

    To get an emotion emanating from an illustration is quite something. Something I will never attain. My goal is to do that with my photography – I try anyways :o)
    A feeling of her saying ’ So What !!’ just beams out of your picture by telepathy :o)
