#hag

This witch. This real witch.

‘Then I learned to stay sort of blank

Kinda calm

Sometimes that’d slip though and I might play along

Plucked a hair from a kid one year

Said I’d curse her with a tincture’

‘Elizabeth Lee Was Not a Witch’

Durham, Come Save Me

Out 3rd July

This was a critical point in the development of the Elizabeth Lee character. The reference model I used had crazy hair, which I absolutely loved. In my mind, a woman with wild, unkempt hair was another element that could lead people to be tricked into believing she was a witch by the people who accused her.

Even without adding any witch like meaning to the wild hair, it was certainly a striking image. I just had to make it my own. More on that in future posts.

The second image was a quick sketch and this time, I deliberately tried to lean into looking like a witch or hag. I still thought I was on the right track making her look like a normal lass though.
