Happy (Belated) Halloween!

I feel silly posting this two days into November, but I have to because I love how it turned out! I wasn’t much motivated by Halloween this year until I sat to watch “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” on ABC. Of course, watching cartoons most often gets my creativity flowing, so I finally got the urge to pick up my sketchbook (thank goodness it was on the table in front of me) and doodle. Without further ado, here’s what came of it:

"The Big Boo"
“The Big Boo”

I discovered two really important things: how to smooth out my lines after scanning and how to use gradients on small portions in Gimp. These are probably things I should have known long ago, but… you live and you learn, and I’m glad I finally did!

Now to think of something cute for Thanksgiving before it actually gets here…

Always learning,
