A quick sketch in honor of Day of the Dead, which begins on November 1st. It's a holiday celebrated in Mexico in honor of those who haved passed. This is the time each year when the souls of the dead return to eat, drink, and be merry with the living.
The sugar skulls I painted before are from Oaxaca, but this one was handmade by my friend Hayward who owns Todos Santos in Santa Fe. I really wanted to take some time and do this one in color, but we're about to have an open house, and I thought sitting there drawing a creepy skull might not be the best way to lure potential home buyers.
