BONEHEAD

This piece is a perfect blend of traditional and digital art techniques. To bring it to life, I kicked things off by sketching on craft paper and later digitized it for color and digital painting shadows, patterns and touching up some of the line work well also adding mesmerizing animation effects. The piece delves into the realms of beauty and darkness. It's all about the intricate work of our mortician, who skillfully prepares bodies for funerals to ensure a lifelike appearance. The skull represents the journey into the realm of death…
