31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2021:
Carrie
They're all gonna laugh at me!
It's been a while since I read the book, but I seem to recall the movie, "Carrie", stuck closely to the book--and was probably the better for it. There is something cathartic about a straight-up revenge story, and "Carrie" has it in spades. And the goggle-eyed look on her face as she telekinetically begins extracting that revenge on the entire school is probably the scariest part of the movie.
Both the book and movie are sort of bookended by blood: a little spot of blood in the beginning, and lots and LOTS of blood at the end. Buckets of blood, one could say, literally and metaphorically.

STEP ONE: Here are the pencils done on 8-1/2" x 11" toned cardstock. Truth be told, this is probably my least favorite position of the head to draw--if you don't get it just right, the person looks like the have a pig nose; and even if you do get it just right, it still looks like they have a pig nose. However, in this case, it is looking up at Carrie that is such an iconic pose that I couldn't not do it (if you'll forgive the double-negative).

STEP TWO: Here's the first layer of acrylic paint.

STEP THREE: And, after much more noodling, we'll call it dunnzo! Onward!
