80's Halloween Replay

As always, drawing and chatting with you was such a treat. I felt so much encouragement and energy after our session, that I switched an 80’s rock ballads playlist and painted the Chewbacca photo!

Bonus challenge

I proposed an optional challenge of drawing with only 1 material, then we had 10 minutes at the end to add color. It’s always fun to play with new ways of working.

Here are the rest of my drawings. Full disclosure, I added another layer of color on some of them after we said goodbye.

I also turned Cookie Monster into a yellow crayon.
