31 Days of Halloween: A Painting-a-day of Monsters and Stuff, DAY 31


DAY 31, about 4" x 14". Can't complain enough about how much I need a new scanner. Tried futzing around in Photoshop, but whatever. And that's all I'll say about the color.

As was the case with the daily drawings for 2 years, I don't expect all of these to be winners, but the point is to get a better grasp and control of the medium.
