Le Nez Colossal
So, matthew and I are working on this little book about french explorers. I finally had some time today to sit down and try to sketch some things out. It's a series of portraits, so I was having a hard time not making them all look like balding, bulb-nosed, baggy-eyed, hairy-knuckled men from the Bronx. I worked on it, and this (a reject) turned up out of the blue (no pun intended) - his hand is going the wrong direction, but I love the way his hair turned out. The point was supposed to be that he had a big nose, but I think that got lost in all those pretty wavy locks (and behind the backwards hand). But, I thought I'd post anyway. Maybe coloring in will help...?
oh -
hrmm...
I just fixed it.
I'll color it in tomorrow and see if it makes any difference. At any rate, the backwards hand has been (not entirely successfully) taken care of. It's drying now, under the flanks of a big fat black cat. She just can't wait to go sit on wet ink. She probably does it so that all of the bits of cat litter that are stuck in her butt-fur get colored in to match.
