She did so well in the movie, "The Shining", when I did Jack years ago I didn't appreciate her as I do now.
So, even though I have (literally) not drawn a thing in many years, I was compelled to at least 'try'.

This was a mistake in the making... :)

This is a HYBRID drawing/painting!

Done in black and white colored pencils, then I photographed it to make it digital, (no scanner) and it looked so bad that it took me 3 times as long to get it 'better' in Photoshop.

EDIT
I just learned that you can use alcohol to make it look smoother, sure enough, after 5 drinks, it did look more smooth!
Really, using alcohol does really make it blend better, had I known I might have been able to make this look better with Photoshop.

I have not drawn a thing in at least 15-20 years, I don't know the last time, really. I didn't know where my 'stuff' was either, I couldn't find my good paper. So, I opted to use Watercolor Cold-press for that, It was a huge mistake, I thought that I could work through it and fix it later, but, it was not so easy.
(See the robe and the horrendous horizontal textures)

This is the result of a bad decision and having to BLUR and SMUDGE out a LOT of the grainy textures of that CANVAS paper.
I learned a lesson, I thought I was smart enough, but it's not so!  :)

I'd have been better off to just start over rather than taking the many, many hours I took trying to make it look halfway decent.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
