Today is day 27 of Drawlloween – a fun event that I found out about here on the lovely ‘Not Yet Read’. Today is Witch.
Here is my witch – mirror, mirror on the wall….
No.26 Rat #Drawlloween
Today is day 25 of Drawlloween – a fun event that I found out about here on the lovely ‘Not Yet Read’. Today is Rat. Nobody likes rats, right? Well, maybe sometimes we do – what about this fella – and, in spite of my rough sketch – can you name the film?
Hell hath no fury – like a woman!

This week over at the Broke and Bookish the topic for Top Ten Tuesday is :
‘Halloween themed freebie’
With Halloween in mind I thought I’d put forth 10 wicked female characters for us with one main theme:
- The White Witch from CS Lewis’ Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Let’s face it – she froze Narnia and forbid Christmas!
- The Wicked Witch of the West, the Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum – well, she wasn’t very upset when her sister got squashed by a falling house, she was very mean to the straw man and basically a tyrant to the munchkins! “oh what a world”
- The Three Witches from Stardust by Neil Gaiman- you can’t just go around eating pure and innocent fallen stars!
- Ursula from the Little Mermaid – a plotter of nefarious deeds! Stealer of dreams and voices!
- Witch of the Waste from Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, robbed Sophie of her youth because she was jealous!
- Bellatrix LeStrange from JKRowling’s Harry Potter. Very powerful, evil and a death eater. Not to mention killed various characters.
- The Grand High Witch from Roald Dahl’s Witches – she has plans – massive plans – to destroy all the children!
- The Queen – from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves by the Grimm Brothers. She may be a queen, and was once the fairest in the land but deep down she’s an evil witch who wants the heart of snow white delivering to her in a box! tsk
- The Witch who cursed the trolls in Danielle Jensen’s Stolen Songbird. Can’t say too much for fear of spoilers!
- Dolores Umbridge from JKRowling’s Harry Potter. All dressed up in her pink suits looking like butter wouldn’t melt, drinking tea out of her bone china and surrounded by cats – but deep down (in fact not so very deep) she has a horrible mean streak – and don’t be caught talking in class because she’ll give you lines and they won’t be written on paper.
Tis all for me this week. Except for a little spell from the Sanderson Sisters:
Twist the bones and bend the back
Itch-it-a-cop-it-a Mel-a-ka-mys-ti-ca
Trim him of his baby fat
Itch-it-a-cop-it-a Mel-a-ka-mys-ti-ca
Give him fur black as black
Just…. like…. that!
No.24 Skeleton #Drawlloween
Today is day 24 of Drawlloween – a fun event that I found out about here on the lovely ‘Not Yet Read’. Today is Skelton. With this in mind I thought I’d draw a t-rex – inspiration for this was ‘Sue’ from Jim Butcher’s Dresden books – it would have been rather cool. and in keeping with Halloween, if I could have drawn a magician Harry Dresden riding atop this dinosaur – but I just couldn’t!
No.23 Gore #Drawlloween
Today is day 23 of Drawlloween – a fun event that I found out about here on the lovely ‘Not Yet Read’. Today is Gore. This was also a tough one for me – happily, I think some of the next ones might be a little easier – but we’ll see. Yeah, check my ‘Gore’ entry out at your own peril! You were warned. A large mess of gore (or strawberry shoelaces??):
And in case you missed the hidden face within:
