HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Darn!  I was hoping to get **SOMETHING** Halloween-related done this week to post today, but, alas, I was too busy.  However, here's a skull I drew as a still life a while back.  So, it is sort of related....  :-)

This was done with charcoal, carbon pencil, and white chalk on 8-1/2" x 11" gray cardstock.

Hey, it's my 200th posted figure drawing.  Hooray!  

And one year since my first "real" post featuring my construction of a couple Halloween decorations for our yard (the real REAL first post was just a test message the month before, so I barely count it).  Alas, I am a little busy to do any other big Halloween constructions this year.  Maybe I'll just have to double up for next year... :-)  Well, on with the show...

This was done with charcoal, carbon pencil, and white chalk on 12" x 12" brown cardstock.

Again, during the session, there was a red and blue lamp used to light the model--hence the different coloration.

This was done with pastel on 12" x 18" black Strathmore paper.

The next few postings will have pictures from when the session used colored lights (red and blue)--vaguely inspired by the Shepard Fairey, who did the Obama "Hope" poster.  That should explain the atypical coloration of the models... :-)

This was done with pastel on 12" x 18" black Strathmore paper.  Once again, the black paper drawings never seem to photograph quite right.  Oh, well.
