Here comes the second batch.
11. Disgusting. One person’s disgusting is another’s mildly unpleasant… So more that lip-pursing, nose wrinkling thing than any object or event. I did a rough drawing elsewhere and went straight to ink here.
12. Slippery. Did some drawings of the wee figure to try and get the angle and action. Then straight to ink here.
13. Dune. There are dunes near where I grew up. They had engulfed and buried a thriving town in mediaeval times. Then the Americans camped there in WW2 and left various concrete structures behind to be undermined and filled with sand. Straight to ink here.
14. Armour. Thought of Renaissance armour for some reason. And decided to put a woman in it. Like Virginia Woolf’s Orlando. Did a drawing elsewhere. Can’t remember if I did any under pencilling here. Probably a rough structure.
15. Outpost. Thought of Kasr Ibrim on the Nile, where Bosnians were sent to watch the edge of the Ottoman Empire. They were sent and forgotten about. Took up with local girls. Their descendants are still there and think themselves a cut above the other Nubians. Anyway. There you are, watching the people watching you. Pencil structure here.
16. Rocket. Stephenson’s of course. My vague memory of it. Emerging from clouds of smoke and steam. Pencil structure.
17. Storm. The coolest of the X-Men. Building up thin layers of ink in this one. Did a pencil drawing elsewhere, then some pencil structuring below the ink here
18. Trap. Pony and Trap. Excuse to try and draw a horse, really. Quick drawing elsewhere, some under pencil here and then ink.
19. Dizzy. Gillespie. The bent trumpet. The glasses. Those cheeks. The trumpet’s not right but there you go. 15 minutes is too long for one of these. Some pencil under drawing.
20. Coral. Joe Coral. I really didn’t want to draw the underwater gnarly things, so I’ve revisited the Fancy. This time more 20th century. Quick pencil sketch under.
