Dia de los Muertos!!

These are the sketches that I've done so far for my Day of the Dead study.

I was inspired by two things 1) my "Disco is Dead" charcoal drawing (which is to the right) and 2) walking through a Mexican store that was filled with Catrina dolls. Catrina is usually used as a slang word for the dead but a Mexican friend told me that in the old language Catrina was used for women of status. Which would probably explain why Catrina dolls are mostly woman and are dressed in finer clothing.
