Witchcraft in Waiting: My Daydreaming Toad & Spellbook WIP for Drawlloween!

 


Here's my latest for Mab Graves's #Drawlloween challenge! Today's prompt is #spellbook.


Meet this ambitious amphibian who has "borrowed" Elphaba's hat and is clearly daydreaming instead of reading his book of spells! Some toads should definitely be studying...


This piece started as a toned drawing for the #toad prompt, but I loved the concept so much I decided to turn it into a painting! It was a perfect fit for today's prompt, too. I'm currently working on the underpainting of the hat and the toad, but the spellbook looks ready, so I wanted to share this Work in Progress today.


This 4"x6" traditional oil painting on paper will be shared framed when completed.


The original painting will be available for purchase! Please contact me directly for details if you're interested.


Thanks so much to @MabGraves for hosting this fun challenge!
