Monster-A-Day Halloween Drawings Day 5: Skeksis from Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal

Today’s Monster-A-Day Halloween Drawing features Skeksis Lord Chamberlain (SkekSil) from Jim Henson‘s The Dark Crystal! This is one of my favorite movies, but it really scared me as a kid. The Skeksis are terrifying bird/alligator/dinosaur hybrid creatures, so of course they make great monsters!

Drawn with numerous pencils (h, hb, 7b).

See  you tomorrow!

For me, the entire month of October is usually dedicated to Halloween. So I decided to try something new in honor of the month. I’m going to draw and post one monster a day for the entire month! I’m calling it Monster-A-Day Halloween Drawings. I was inspired after one of my friends started a ‘photo-a-day’ project featuring pictures taken from his iPhone.
