This fantastic behind-the-scenes look at Royo's creative process, is a pencil study for the painting of the same name. Both the finished painting and this beautiful pencil drawing were published in Royo's book "Malefic".


Malefic:
Behind an illustration there’s only an uncertain and trembling hand. And if that’s not so, it’s worthless to look at that illustration. Behind a hand there can be a look, behind some nails, a kiss. Behind the desire, the beast.
