just a rough

Quite crude but a valuable test. I aim to do some more of these tonight.

Oh my ears and whiskers . . .

Here are the first ten pages of my alice in Wonderland concertina sketchbook.

Pages 7 - 10 - not totally hapy with these. Lost a lot of something from the roughs. I really like the rabbits pose below. Not sure why I didn't use that. Also I think I'm gonna regret using blue pencil here as it will probably cause me problems when I come to doing colour. We shall see.

Down, down, down . . .

pages 3 to 6

Oh dear! I shall be too late!

Down the Rabbit Hole

Well I'm still banging away at this and mostly still having fun with it. Having a moment of doubt about my drawing style though as I try to get myself commit to final drawings and layout. I always seem to end up with this disney kind of look and whilst I like it I want to push myself to do something more edgy. Maybe this is me though . . . I don't know. Got to go and cook a beef and chorizo stew now but after that I might spend the rest of the day trying out different approaches. What do you think. I wish I had a bit more confidence.

Warming up

Making some slow but steady progress. Today was my last day at work for the year so I'm looking forward to putting some serious time into this soon. Once all the shopping is done of course.
