Hawkes or Handsaws

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.

I read and watch far too many murder mysteries.

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

She is unimpressed with your attitude.

A few pages from my sketchbook.

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.
