I finished two paintings for Mab Graves Drawllowen yesterday. #mabsdrawlloweenclub, #drawlloween, It is one of the 'knock-offs' or drawing challenges for the month of October.  The original challenge is #Inktober, created by Jake Parker.   The main purpose of these challenges is to encourage daily drawing (or creating)  Themes for each day are provided.   I have painted daily this month, but not everything I have is good enough to post, in part due to my job having sporadic work days,  Of course, I'm in a learning stage and none of my work is as finished as I hope it will be at some point

For the Drawlloween day #28 challenge, (Raven) I created the following (and it could count for day #1 witch, although if I have time I would have like to make something more spectacular or the Witch theme.

I could work on the face some more. The inspiration for the face is from a drawing by an instagram artist #_verdigo_       I can't link the Instagram page here, but this is the link to the image:  https://www.instagram.com/p/BobWL2hBODj/?taken-by=_verdigo_

Yesterday I also completed Alien theme for Drawlloween Day 21:

This was fun.   I completely made up her face (although I was inspired for the eyebrows from a photo of an eyebrow found on Pinterest:

The inspiration for the pet was taken from photos of a Fennec Fox (the cutest little animals!):

and finally, I've listened to a few podcasts and videos discussing the hollow earth theory, and I decided my Alien  might be considering entering Earth via one of the supposed hollow earth openings (supposedly there are real photos showing what appears to be openings at each of the poles!)
