Advancing the Alien Sketchie

I try to draw or paint something daily, but didn't have a lot of time tonight to do anything new. I decided to work on one of the sketches that I posted yesterday. I went with the alien being.

I created a simple background environment (Using a couple of custom brushes to help speed up the process.), gave the figure some hard and soft edges, adjusted the shadows and mid-tones, did a little more work on the highlights and called it done.

I liked using gray tones for this piece. I think that the coloring gives it kind of a 1950's science fiction movie feel.
