start with a reference, in this case i took a selfie with my phone for perspective
Halloween season gave us an assignment in my painting class.. Take a local ghost story and turn it into a painting. In my case. My brothers came across a skull in an attic of a creepy old artist who died. Being in their 20's they took it home because it was cool. After a few months, we noticed that anyone who touched it had some bad luck fall on them.. Turns of events led to us finding out that it was the Skull of a 400 yr old Franciscan monk who was tried for worshipping the devil and put to death, the inscriptions were to bind the evil spirit. We gladly gave the skull back to the estate of the artist.
