Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween Everyone.

This first update I have since I started changing things over is a new sketch that I made up with Halloween in mind. I had scrap piece of black poster board left over from another project and decided to just sketch out a skull with a white colored pencil and then it just evolved into this.

All done with a white and blue colored pencil along with some white acrylic paint on a scrap piece of black paper. It's fun and a learning experience at the same time to try new things. The black poster board was definitely not one of the best mediums to draw on due to the consistency and how well the mediums worked with it, but still it was an interesting challenge and I hate to waste anything.

This piece also allowed me to show progression from an idea to a finished piece as I took photos of its progress and put them together in a video. I know a lot of other artists do this, but this is my first attempt and the quality shows as my progression pics were taken with my IPhone which lacks the ability to really capture the sketch at each step, but still came out rather nice.
