So this is a piece I recently did for a proposal. I tried to follow Shelly's interpretation (although I do love Jack Pierce's version and couldn't even hope to compare or get close enough to Bernie Wrightson's.) So for this piece first I did a stuctural drawing toned it using payne's gray watercolor. From there I put a thin layer of gesso which wiped out all of the detail and then started using a mix of acrylic paint, graphite, whie conte and white out. Then finally I boosted the contrast in photoshop. Hope you guys like it.
