The Blue Room

Over the past few days I've been working

on a new project based on an urban legend.

A few years after Mary Winchester died

Harry Houdini went to the Winchester

house with a medium. She was there to 

prove that she could interact with those 

who are beyond the grave. He was there

to prove she could not. What else happens

in the story is still in flux, but that's the gist.

I played around with mediums and colors

just to get out a few rough ideas. Starting

with pencil and in a more cartoony style is

my comfort zone, but it allowed me to focus

mainly on the personalities. 

With this drawing I was worried less

about getting the character into it, and 

more about drawing in a style inspired
by Arthur Rackham, focusing on lines, 

patterns, textures and colors.
