Tag As FavoriteComment		Drew this for Halloween. I felt like drawing a woman from the twenties and a vampire, and this was the result. Took 16 hours. Done in charcoal, pastel, and colored pencil.

This sort of reminds me of that scene in Shakespeare's "Macbeth," if you want to picture it in 1920s New York with a feminine Macbeth.

2 Kristin Lewis replies: "Hmm... what an interesting way to look at it. Thanks!"

Fantastic colors! They really create the mood. As well as the skull. But I really love the toned down colors and the brighter red tones. And I love the balance of the picture.

1 Kristin Lewis replies: "Thanks! I rarely do muted toned pictures anymore, but I definitely enjoyed it. Glad you stopped by!"

When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a tattoo ^_^' It would be an excellent tattoo though. I love the way you put color to it. 'Tis wonderful.

1 Kristin Lewis replies: "Thanks so much!"

Oh what I would give to be able to use color like you. I'm strictly grey pencil at the moment, and wouldn't know how to go about learning that skill. Ah well, I looked through your gallery and everything was beautiful, the colors, the detail, everything.

1 Kristin Lewis replies: "Thank you! I only used pencil at first, but you have you dive in and just try experimenting with new things; it's tough at first but you get the hang of it. 2"
