Drawing October: Spanish Mythology

Some of the drawing I made during this October, using one of the many promp lists that usually are proposed by this time of the year. My choice was a list featuring creatures from the Spanish folklore, and my medium was ink (Pigma Micron pens) on 300gr textured watercolor paper.

BASAJAUN A creature from Basque mythology. It's a forest guardian spirit, who helps shepherds. In exchange, he usually receives some bread as a gift. Althought he looks like a strong, hairy and wild giant, he is gentle and kind.
