Description Happy Halloween!
Illustration for an upcoming book from SQP and rather appropriate for Halloween.
Took much longer than I anticipated - obviously I wasn't drinking enough magic caffeine )

Pencil sketch on paper, painted in photoshop.

For some reason, the composition reminds me of Norman Rockwell's work. Very lovely, indeed!

Did you use any references for this?? You Must've... O_O

I just love the detail work around her ankles, hands, skull, cloth, and face....

Outstanding work, for sure.

Thanks! Started with a concept sketch, was really fortunate to be able to take some photos of my best friend sitting at a table, based the actual table on the one in my dining room and had a plastic skull sitting on my desk as I painted.
Cheers!

Possibly at some stage - I do save small samples as I go along, just so I can feel I'm getting somewhere. Until then, here's some other step by steps if you like.
