Thanks for posting this! Seeing King Kong costume and some of the American Werewolf in London props was priceless.

I have charcoal pencils similar to the ones Rick Baker used to sketch in this-their the ones that have the string attached to it so you can pull it down and there would be a continuation of the charcoal lead inside in case the tip cracked off. Rick's concept sketches he does for his makeup are amazing too. Even when they're just a drawing you can see it come to together!
