Nanageddon

For anyone familiar with the British comedy program "The Mighty Boosh", or anyone that has the Mighty Book of Boosh (which came after the series), this make up is inspired by "Nanageddon" an episode of the Mighty Boosh and also a character which is depicted in the book. She is a demon granny who, when summoned, tries to gather other elderly ladies to take over the world. Sketch below can be found in the Mighty Book of Boosh: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mighty-Book-Boosh-Julian-Barratt/dp/1847673228

The book is written and illustrated by Julien Barratt, Noel Fielding and Dave Brown.

What specifically drew me to the drawing was the mask-like face and the jumbling together of different colours. The mighty boosh has always been a favourite TV program of mine due to its fantastical costumes and makeup, and also its surreal humour.

Painting my eyelids was tricky so the white pupils were more of a smudge.

Because it's so fantastical and painterly I used my fingers as well as brushes, and also an array of materials such as grease paint, kohl and liquid liners and eye shadows.
