Description I decided to do an illustration of the Slavic Folklore, The Baba Yaga. Really wanted to do something creepy.

Graphik Pens on 14x11 paper. 
Black acrylic ink
White gel pen. 

 In Russian tales, Baba Yaga is portrayed as a hag who flies through the air in a mortar, using the pestle as a rudder and sweeping away the tracks behind her with a broom made out of silver birch. She lives in a log cabin that moves around on a pair of dancing chicken legs. The keyhole to her front door is a mouth filled with sharp teeth; the fence outside is made with human bones with skulls on top—often with one pole lacking its skull, leaving a place where she can threaten to place the hero's skull after eating them.
