Description: This lesson might be a bit grim because of the actual concept of the person involved, but I really wanted to make a tutorial on how to draw Black Dahlia, step by step after watching one of the episodes from 'American Horror Story' the first season. Mena Suvari is the female actress who plays Elizabeth Short, the women who was found mutilated on the side of the road. I'm not going to get into details because it's pretty disturbing, but I will say that this heinous crime still remains unsolved. The picture of Elizabeth Short is a recreation of the movie cover 'Black Dahlia' starring josh Hartnett and Scarlett Johansson. I hope you enjoy this lesson regardless who it's on. Adios amigos and good luck.
