r: It appears that the one thing I can definitely draw are skulls. I can sketch other things, but it seems skulls are something at which I excel. This is fine with me of course. I like skulls. I've watched the Crow a million times so I definitely love skulls. And, as we've discussed before, I like dia de los muertos. So I've combined my two loves. These skulls were drawn in pencil and then inked (painted?) over with paint pens. I used Elmer's paint pens instead of the fancy German ones because I was at Joann's and not Utrecht when I bought them. Paint pens are great I find for doing this kind of hybrid inking/colouring. You get crisp, popped colours with no bleed-thru or glue headaches (we've all gotten a little high from markers accidentally before so I'm sure you know what I'm talking about). The "No More Snakes" skull was done on St. Pats which accounts for the theme; the Devo Skull was inspired by the Groovie Ghoulies song, "Devo." Hope you like. Oh, and sorry you can see my hand through the one scan.
