These two paintings for Watercolor Wednesdays and the CBIG blog are from a YA zombie graphic novel I’m working on, starring Sheila the Zombie Cheerleader. The graphic novel isn’t in watercolor, but I thought I’d do some zombie watercolors this month because Watercolor Wednesdays has school prompts every week.
Sheila’s first day back at school was yesterday. (She wouldn’t let me post her first day picture last week. If I did, she said she’d, “eat my brains!”) Sheila’s best friend Amanda suffered through the first day with her. Here’s their first day picture, which Sheila said I could post today:
Sheila the Zombie Cheerleader's first day of school
Sheila and Amanda are talking about the new teacher in the next picture:

The black line for both images is acrylic paint and the color is watercolor crayon. I love watercolor crayons because they make me feel like a kid again. I get to color with crayons, then paint. Fun!
Maybe next week I’ll do crayon resist … or maybe not. Halloween is coming, and ghosts are a whole lot of fun for crayon resist.

What a fun book! Love the chicken principal! Haven't tried watercolor crayons but will try to find them. Good luck with your graphic novel...good start.
What a great concept for a children's book. They'll love it. The illustrations are perfect.
Thanks Rachel! Just entered your contest :)
Thanks Linda! BTW, the crayons that I use are made by Caran D'Ache. They have wax oil crayons (like regular crayons) and watersoluble crayons (what I used for this painting).
Thanks Sandy!
