Day 02: Nosferatu (1922) - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2024

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2024:
Nosferatu (1922)

It's the second day of "31 Days of HELL-O-Ween" and so far, so OK!  I usually like to start with the classics, so this time it's the spookiest vampire out there: Rudy Giuliani.  A close second is Nosferatu--the silent era and creepiest of the vampires--even after 100 years, still not topped, IMHO.

STEP ONE:  Here are the quick pencils done with colored pencil on 8-1/2" x 11" extra-heavy toned cardstock.

STEP TWO:  Here's the first pass with Acrylic paint.

STEP THREE:  And here's the finished painting.  I'm not sure if I like the pencils and first pass better or not.  They both have aspects that work better than the finished painting--a certain looseness that the finished, tightened one seems to be missing.  Ah, well, something to work on and keep in mind in the future.
