Tuesday Workshop- Voodoo!

This week's theme was Voodoo. The drawings are all Jen, the last one channeling Jen as a Mayan Priestess, complete with lovely speckled chicken.

The chicken must have been someone's pet. It was quite comfortable posing in front of a large crowd of chattering people with loud background music.

Wish I'd remembered to bring more than one sheet of black paper. :-(

(Oh, and use Safari to view these pictures. Firefox/Mozilla doesn't handle color profiles properly. Very apparent on dark pictures like these.)























...and a couple from the previous week's workshop:

OK, behind in posting sketches. Here are a bunch of new ones-

I really like the textures around Sara's head in this drawing. Warning- large linked pic:
