31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 17 - Witches

Witches are fun around Halloween because the imaginations of children run to wild and wacky places. Witches are said to fly on brooms and make magic spells with all kinds of wonderfully horrible mixtures in their black cauldrons. Witches are often thought of as Wicked and mean and scary to children . . . these are the best witches and not to be confused with the Wiccan's that are not really wicked. The witches I like are the ones from cartoons and movies the ones that are green and ridiculous and awesome.

You can find a lot more out about witches at Witches.net

In my drawing I just went with the basic head shot of the classic wicked witch.

The colors are Prismacolor Markers and Copic Markers.

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 10 - Succubus

The Succubus is an evil demonic creature that has existed in folklore and religious beliefs going as far back as medieval times. The demon often appears in dreams as a beautiful woman (sometimes winged) with the intent to seduce men into sexual encounters. A succubus can also appear in the flesh but if a man has sexual encounters with her in any form he may become weak or even die. The succubus is a master of seduction and will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

In my drawing I made the Succubus look a little innocent (with big anime type eyes for some reason) but with a definite agenda to accomplish. I figured red skin was good for a demon I wasn't going to add the wings but decided at the last minute to put them in. I'm usually terrible at women's hair but I think this might be the best hair I've drawn on a woman yet.

The colors are Copic Markers.
