Title: The Dredd Head drawing thread!
Post by: Darren Stephens on 28 May, 2015, 09:06:04 PM
Just a bit of fun. There have been so many different interpretations of old Joe over the years and every Squaxx that likes to draw has sketched a quick Dredd from time to time. It's only natural. He's sort of my "go to" character for sketching when my brain wants to warm up it's art lobe! So, here are a few Dredd heads I've drawn. Now post yours! Weather it be phone doodle or fully rendered masterpiece!

I'm looking forward to trying this but if you're as crap at drawing as me you may need some guidance material:

A quick search threw up a few of these videos and this is the one I liked the best and it's the shortest. If it's anyone from this board, nice one.

A very Flintish Dredd head I did a while back for Bat King.

Been working directly into a sketchbook with Copic multiliners — no pencils, as a way of trying to stop me constantly fiddling... draw something — either it's worth working up, or it's not! So, a bit rough and ready but inspired by this thread...

A really rubbish attempt done years back of the first Dredd meeting the latest, an idea that hopefully will be resurfacing done properly by an Art Droid for my "Someone Old, Someone New" project before too long  ;)

This is my first ever attempt at drawing the man. The symmetry and dimensions of the helmet I found quite hard. What point does everyone start from? In this one I started with the cross but it's all gone a bit wonky so I couldn't fit his SS visor reflections in properly. Apologies as always to Neil McClements for nicking his shading style. When I realised that's what I was doing I tried to vary it.

Dug these experiments out my hard drive. One is drawn on a fingerpainting app I got for my daughter that I steal off her and the other was me trying to do something with scribbles - and bring back the early helmet design.

I have a bad habit of drawing late in the day. Scanning or photographing the drawing. Having a crisis of confidence and overworking the drawing to heck. Then the next day when revisiting it, thinking: actually the first one was ok. Case in point:

Wow! This thread is full of amazing artwork!! Why aren't you all working for 2000ad...??

Okay, I'm going to add some Dredd drawings I did some time ago, before I got my groove back. They're not the best work I've done but I hope they're in keeping with the theme. I was going to include a recent SJS picture I did, but I suspect that's going off topic...
Anyway, here are my Dredd drawings - I think I'd probably (and hopefully!) do better now...

Another sketchbook Dredd: quick photo taken with phone rather than a proper scan, so apologies for fuzziness and yellow-ish cast. Copic multiliners and colour markers, no pencils.

You always do a top Dredd Woolly. Here's something that turned up in my Instagram feed this morning. Superb rendition of Dredd from Survival Geeks artists Neil Googe. Always loved Neils work and this is no exception. Has he ever actually drawn Dredd for the prog? If not, well, hi Tharg!  ;)

Neil Googe's Dredd seems familiar, and that's a lovely pic. Like how he's handled the eagle-pad.

Just had a crack at colouring an earlier post of mine, but didnt like where it was going so i stopped.

Neil's Dredd reminds me a little of somewhere between Frank Quitely's and 90s Alex Ronald...

Sharpie Dredd while watching Masterchef. There is a full head and shoulders but cropped like this as I just thought it look better.

So many good stoney faces. Lovely sketch amines2058. I really like PJ's confidence with the inks. Mines clearly lacking. Manga Studio has been too good to me :P

During a rare moment where both kids were asleep. I quickly dived at my materials drawer and brought out the brush pens and inks. With the aid of tea and cookies for fuel managed to go traditional and drew a Dredd head. It's been a while so it's a tad rusty.

You want messy?

I can't for the life of me remember if I copied this but it was a super quick attempt at a more Flinty type Dredd.

Those last few have been beauties! I get a genuine thrill when I see new posts in this thread, as I'm sure a lot of folks do! After a flurry of Dillon/Flint-esque Dredds, here's one with a McCarthy vibe. Always loved this helmet design!

The Comic book version. I could never really imagine his features the iconic faceplate distracted me to much. I remember some perps saw Dredd's face once and shrieked in horror at the sight.

I do these rough sketches while watching tv and dont really think about what i'm drawing just a general idea pops in my head and just go with it.In this case someone on tv mentioned father figure and thought of Dredd as a father figure to his clone Rico. Just thought it would be a change to draw Dredd without helmet.Would like to see other peoples interpretations of Dredd without helmet might be interesting from some of you talented lot :)

Pirates of the Black Atlantic, of courzzzz... Prog number wise (without recourse to Barney) it ran alongside the start of Portrait of a Mutant, which starts in Prog 200. So either 199 or 201? I know 200 has a Tharg cover...

Not really, it's just that finding all of Portrait was one of my first forays into targetted buying of backprogs, from the second premises of The Diceman on Dublin's Grafton St. circa 1983-5. I know I went 'back' from there to get the start of Pirates and then forward to get the early run of Rogue.

Thanks TB.
Prog-wise, I just feel 199 is as near as dammit a round number, and given the quality of Bolland's cover... it's one you'd expect to know. It's certainly my vintage.

I've been looking for an excuse to get back into my drawing so I think I will have a dabble at the weekend with this one :D

Been almost 10 years since I last sat down and spent any considerable time drawing.

There are some awesome examples in this thread though :D

Go for it, Grey M@a! Be great to see some pics from you.  ;)

Here's a quick Pentel brushpen and letraset Promarker Dredd head, to blow away some serious art-rust!

Hi, I'm new here and wanted to share a Dredd head sketch of mine. I always tend to share my pics with  shots of what it looks like when I've finished penciling and when I've finished inking. I never colour them, as I don't have a scanner and don't fancy colouring by hand.

I always find it interesting when a penciler get's someone else to ink, a little bit of the inkers own style usually make's it's way into the finished picture. Thats bloody marvelous though, Jim.

It's... beautiful!  :o

Y'know, I've been so down on my artwork that I've barely put pencil to paper this last year, but that pic looks so bloody lovely that I feel proud to have played a part, and might have to try and get my mojo back (again! ::))

Thanks Jim. That's made my day  :)

Thanks for the kind words, especially Woolly -- don't be disheartened, your work is great, and I'm just pleased you weren't utterly horrified! It's horrible when you feel like your mojo has deserted you, but the only way I've found of dealing with it is to slog through. If it means churning out drawings that you instantly discard, so be it, but it's almost like there's a finite number of bad drawings in you, and you just have to get through them...

Cheers!

A great honor, Steve, but I think both versions are equally "Dreddy" and, gosh, your style just screams goals TBH.

Here's my own 10 min Dredd Head. Helmet is waaaay off but i'll try inking it in a bit and see if that fixes it.

Post by: Steven Austin on 19 March, 2016, 08:17:12 PM
Thanks Hawkmumbler, much appreciated.

Great bottom lip on your piece, Bolland wouldn't need to tweak that bad boy. I personally always struggled with the length of the helmet but have settled on the fact that it looks right (for my take on Dredd's face) if I line it up with his jaw line.
Title: Re: The Dredd Head drawing thread!
Post by: Hawkmumbler on 19 March, 2016, 08:59:33 PM
Thanks in return, Steven, must try and remember that tip when drawing the visor in future, wasn't able to fix it in the inking so it still looks much too tight. Plus in usual fashion everything I draw looks much too flat. ::)

At one LSCC talk, Bolland said that Dredd's lip should protrude further than his chin. I prefer it the other way round but who am I to argue with one of the best Dredd artists ever?

James – that's ace. My brain would hurt trying to work out how to draw that reflection.

Cool sketch, Leigh. Looks fine as is. I do like seeing WIP. I tend to make a mess which I then have to rein in.

Like the profile, Jim. Especially the shadows and old style helmet.

Such a terrific profile, I'm a huge fan of clean, bold line work. You've also a great ability to make it look 3D where so often head shots like this look flat. Great colours too, you monster!

I've tried a few of them and found generally they range from being fiddly and overkill (ProCreate) to strange and fiddly (ArtRage). At the moment I'm primarily using Tayasui Sketches II which is simple and easy to use, and has some very nice art tools. The brush tool for inking is the best I've found so far. The water colour tools are awesome and simple, and behave like real water colours :)
Also it lets you group your art into sketchbooks, which I find really useful.

Not sure I'd want to see an entire comic drawn in that style, but I like how much it strays from the usual shapes (of the red bit on the helmet, the badge) but is still recognisably Joe.

I drew this recently on large cardstock paper with pencils and inks. I directly used the cover to Prog 1741 by Garry Brown as a reference. I have nowhere near the skills of Brown but admire his style and gave it a go (he uses what look like effortless brush strokes but I struggle through each line!). It was good practice anyhow.

Thanks Woolly :) the new art comp inspired me to do this. I've been working hard on improving my skills and learning how to art properly. It's hard work!
I'm working on a few entries now in a similar style... let's wait and see.

Yeah, shame to see so much art disappear on this thread like that.

Wow - it seems that all the pictures on this thread and the does my art look big thread are back!

Have Photobucket ditched their stupid pricing system? I don't think I EVER saw a forum where someone had actually paid them.

Post by: mightybren on 02 June, 2018, 08:57:05 AM
I use deviantart for hosting images... I never really was a fan of photobucket. Good to see some artwork is returning though  :)

Here's another Dredd head. It's not my art stars entry... that will be much more ambitious. I'm just prepping and finding my style.

The perspective is a bit wonky on the helmet. Anyone got any ideas where I went wrong?

Dredd head!, Old Stoney face- a practice pose for the Art Stars Competition- though my final will be colour and think I'll go for a more action orientated pose for that.

Hi Dudes- Another Dredd pose Im trying out for the Art Stars comp- I'm not using this one because I want to submit a colour composition- Similar to this one.
Im showing it, just in case I shag up the colour attempt- hope you likes

Hey! Thanks so much appreciate it mate- I probably would enter it, but I do want to do a colour piece
And I'm sure I read they were only accepting one piece per artist

It's a great pic!

I just started using Clip Studio after years of working in Photoshop. Slightly frustrating at first trying to find equivalents to all of my trusty photoshop tools, but I'm really enjoying it now.

The brush tools, the blending and the layers management are a huge step forward over the version of photoshop that I had been using.

Best digital inking tools on the market, bar none. Add into that the perspective rulers, of which someone (whose name I've completely forgotten) said: 'you'd pay the full price for this software just to get those perspective rulers as a Photoshop plug-in.'

I'm also a BIG fan of the way it handles panel borders and masks the gutters for you.
