A quick look at some of what I was working on today. Still in the underdrawing/sketch phase.

From left to right they are: Penelope and Telemachus, Hippolyta, and a few sketches of an un-designated Greek lady doing her hair.

Decided that it’s time to get back into a bit more drawing from life. I’d gotten out of practice.

Flipping through my sketchbook just now, I also came across this doodle of my family. So, why not.

A quick sketch of Ophelia drowning. I’m fairly certain it’s obligatory for everyone to draw this at least once (or so my art history studies have led me to believe). Actually, I draw Ophelia fairly often. Which is strange because, for all that I have an extreme fondness for Hamlet, Ophelia is a character to whom I spare relatively little thought in the play itself.

Another random page of sketches.

So… I really like James Bond. And I really enjoyed Skyfall. Which ended up with me sketching Severine because I thought she was very striking. (Actually, that whole movie was really visually appealing, but the scene in the casino was especially stunning.)

…I think I got her costume slightly wrong.

A mock logo for The Hatter’s Tea Room. I’m thinking this could make a fun t-shirt, actually. I just need to decide on the colours. At the moment, I’m leaning towards purples….

A sketch of a character named Alain Roux, and his mother. Alain would have been born in 1789, so this is perhaps 1799? Or so? I’m not sure. I’ll make decisions when I get around to doing a more finished drawing.

…and, her profession is exactly what you’re probably thinking.

I re-discovered a watercolour Moleskine I had completely forgotten I’d had. I also started reading The Iliad today. So, I decided to do a watercolour sketch of Helen of Troy.

I do realize that she never sees the golden apple that starts this whole mess, but I liked the image.

My thoughts go out to those in Iraq and Boston who have been effected by these recent bombings. It’s truly terrible to hear about this happening anywhere in the world and nobody should have to go through such trauma.

Guess what I’ve been listening to.

(This is actually a drawing off of the back of a folder. Posting it to just say: I’m not dead yet! And I’m still working on plenty of things. Don’t go away.)
