Gouche, inks and coloured pencils on watercolour paper

Something a little different again from all the Chadhiyana art I've been posting. This one I finally got around to adding to my website, so I thought I'd post it here too for all of you to (I hope) enjoy.

Usually I create a piece of artwork for Halloween every year (I don't plan it really, it just happens), but this past year I created two. However, in the wake of Super Storm Sandy, I had limited internet access until after Halloween, and was only able to post the Nosferatu "poster" in time for the holiday. Then I started to get very busy and the piece was relatively forgotten about for a long while.

However, I like the piece too much not to share it. Though, as ever with my watercolours, the colours aren't quite right on this scan (I'd always appreciate recommendations for good tutorials on scanning watercolours for reproduction), it's honestly one of my favourite pieces I've done to date. I hope you enjoy it too.
