Halloween Gothic Coloring
Every course focuses on one technique and takes you from first stroke to finished piece.
Skulls, undead skin tones, Day of the Dead cats, blood red roses, gothic jewelry, and glitter effects. This course is a single deep-dive project in gothic-themed coloring, covering mixed media layering, ink line work, and dark color palettes. Lisa walks you through every element of a complex Halloween illustration from start to finish.
You will learn how to achieve the skull look, work with appropriately undead skin tones, add glitter effects, and push contrast with black. The course finishes with an overview of alternative color palettes so you can apply these techniques to your own gothic designs.
