OCTOBER MONSTER SKETCH A DAY #16

To commemorate my favorite month (October) and my favorite holiday (Halloween), I'm doing a monster sketch per day.

Today's sketch is of the Russian witch, the Baba Yaga--the scariest witch this side of Margaret Hamilton. Baba Yaga's mythology is filled with the most inspiring iconography--she lives in a house with chicken feet surrounded by an iron spiked fence topped with human skulls (with always one spike left open for YOU), and at night she flies around in a giant mortar and steers it with a pestle.
