Subway Sketch

A subway sketch of a girl who spent a crazy amount of time putting make up on. She was kind of fascinating, looking like someone out of the 1950's. Not in a dress-up retro way but in a sort of hard to define, well put together way.She helped me in trying to draw things more simply, looking for shapes and patterns rather than details and lines.

Henry woke us up at about 2 AM this morning and I just got up and started working. It's 7 AM now so I'm a bit wonky.

I'm just finishing up inks on page one of Maddy Kettle and I'll start in page two. I'm also thinking about colour. I'm not sure how to colour it yet. I'm going to do an experiment with painting on acetate...

The first page was inked with a .25 width rapidograph ( the brown one ) and it's going really well, it gives me the clean, even line I'm looking for.
