No, no. That's not quite right. Your head is twisted too far to the side. See here for guideline on how to fix it.

Sorry, I mean here.

I started out by researching the various subject matter in the local university library. From there I spent several days doing studies on paper. After being satisfied that I knew my subject, I put down a thin layer of pastel on prepared canvus. A layer of Workable Fixative. Then some underpainting with acrylics, and a layer of white glue. Then some oil paint. Wipe away most of the oil paint and before it dries, add a even layer of white glue again. Wait for it dry. Reapeat until good surface tension is acquired. Sand it down until smooth and lay down some clear gesso. Cut your fingers and spread blood in dark areas. Now begin some of the forground figures with ink. Scan into Photoshop and use the vinette action and gaussian blur in selected areas. Print on watercolor textured paper and continues to guache until a realistic affect is achieved. Now, use crayons for highlights with a can-do attitude. Cover the whole thing in lighter fluid, step back, but not too far back, and light a cigarette. Don't wait too long or you might lose the whole composition. Dry it out in a rubbing alcohol bath as you swirl in some Rit dye for a marbled look. As a final touch sacrifice a small rodent over the piece, letting the internal affects add to the texture, and adding a long life of good luck.

Gosh. All of that? Wouldn't scribbling with a computer program be easier? Now I feel bad for making fun of you.
