Day 16: Plan 9 From Outer Space
Hey, I'm over the halfway point and still managing to (barely) keep my head above water on this! This time out, it's Vampira from "Plan 9 From Outer Space" as one of the resurrected dead, part of the (snicker) sinister "Plan 9".
OK, to be honest, this one gave me a lot of trouble and still did not turn out quite the way I wanted it to, alas. I did the original layout in colored pencil to keep the lines present when I worked over it with charcoal. I did the background in soft charcoal, then sprayed a workable fixative over top. When I did the charcoal on Vampira's dress, it just wasn't able to get dark enough and kept lifting out. Sigh. So, I broke out some ink and used that as the black for the dress and hair, etc. I then used black and white colored pencils to continue with the shading/highlights.
Here is the drawing as it progressed...
