Medium - Copic Markers
Paper - Midnight Spell by DCWV

Rhinestones - Michaels $1 spot
Sentiment - Midnight Spell by DCWV

I drew in the wall for Joshua to sit on first in pencil and then went over it with my Copic Multiliner and then colored over it.
I colored his face as if he had vampire make up on so it looks it little white/grey rather than skin toned.
I'm not sure whether he has a tummy ache from too much candy to whether he is trying to look scary but whatever it is I think he's cute and hope you do too :)
