Not exactly the right quote with the right image, but it seemed to fit better.

I drew this in December of 2022, copying a still from How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966) Christmas special, narrated by Boris Karloff.

Although I didn't think so at the time, this is probably the best thing I drew in 2022. I'm still pretty pleased with how it came out, although now I would’ve coloured him with felt-tip or brush pens, to get the smoother, 2D cartoon look. I don't care much for the grainy, pencil look I ended up getting here.

HB mechanical pencil and Lyra colouring pencils on 160 gsm paper.

For many of years I had this tradition of drawing Wirt and the beast once a year to see how much I have improved, then depression hit in 2023 and couldn't continue, but it left so really amazing art in the process

Today would’ve been Boris Karloff’s 137th birthday!

Here is a portrait of him that I drew this time last year.

As usual, I had trouble with the head shape. I seem to struggle drawing heads on a tilt. For some reason, every drawing of Boris I've done has been difficult. It seems that his face is difficult for me for some reason. I am happy with how he turned out, though.

I did my best to copy his signature for his name at the bottom ✏️

2B and HB graphite and mechanical pencils and Lyra aquarelles on 160 gsm paper.
