Day 30: The Shining (1980) - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2021

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2021:
The Shining

"Come play with us, Danny..."  Probably one of the spookiest scenes in "The Shining", it's the Overlook's favorite sisters, the super-creepy Grady Twins along with the elevator of blood.

Tomorrow, "31 Days of HELL-O-Ween" wraps up!  Will I actually make it or will I drop the ball on the last day of this dumb, self-imposed, vainglorious endeavor?  Be there AND be square to find out!

STEP ONE:  Pencils done on 8-1/2" x 11" toned cardstock.

STEP TWO:  Here's the first pass in acrylic paint.  There's always that awkward middle-stage, where nothing looks right, and this is one of them.  At this point in the painting, they both look like middle-aged escapees from a Wes Anderson  movie.  Y'know, 'cuz of the symmetry an all that.

STEP THREE:  Here's the finished acrylic painting.  Also, I noticed the left eye of the sister on the right was a little higher up and moved it--and the rest of the eye socket--down about an 1/8th of an inch.  It's always surprising how much of a small change of an 1/8" here and an 1/8" there can make such a big difference.

This was done with Acrylic Paint on 8-1/2" x 11" toned cardstock.
