Style Tests

Here are a set of tests I did to determine teh style I would use for the COB graphic novel I am working on. COB is the working title.

Nadine Reading

I will try to post more regularly. But I am in charge of my own scans sometimes, now. Can't do the watercolor ones on my own because the scans ruin them. But I did get those acrylic inks that I love, and those seem to scan ok.

Nadine practice

Ah, good version of some of my COB drawings.

 There you can see the blue! That the scanner erased.

She looks a bit stoned there, I think.Ooh, you can see the blue pencil lines...

Superhero Woman

So here is a sketvh dump, a bit. Now that Abe has a job, it is harder to get him to do my bidding, so I guess I will have to scan in my own art. Though if I want good ones of my color art, he will still need to do it.

 Here is a first attempt at drawing Superhero Woman and Sidekick Dog, a pair I made up in high school or junior high. I liked the idea of super heroes, but the only ladies ones I knew, I didn't like. Wonder Woman was too scantily clad and I only knew the movie version of Batgirl. So I made up my own. It had a much more literal style. Less violence and darkness. Superhero girl was me, der, and Sidekick Dog was my dog, Patience. Their nemesis was Madame Nutmeg (or something) after my mom's cat. Not that I had anything against poor Nutmeg, but we needed a villain. I even made us outfits with blankets for capes and cut up old socks for masks. Her name wasn't Patience for nuthin'. She also had little shorts and I wore my converse. We would run around our property all dressed up. Not much because it is kind of cumbersome to run around the woods in a blanket cape and Patience did have a limit.

Here's some standard fare Sartorialist drawing. I keep trying for more cartoony style. It is difficult.

 And some practice for the story I am working on with the working title COB. This is a scan of copic markers, so all the light blue is gone, but there was some sky in the window.This is definitely at least one of Nadine's outfits for the book.

And here is Nadine all dressed up for fencing. I think I will change the skort thing up a bit. And the copic marker blue is so much darker than that. But I think I will add some gold embroidery along the blue edges of the skirt instead of black and give her gold buttons instead of black. As you can see, I also haven't decided on an eye color yet. Her hair will also be more yellow than red. Boy copics scan weird.

Corgis and stuff

Drawing dump.

So many corgis.

 Fawn unicorn thing I drew at Drink and Draw

Top two characters there are from Poirot, my newest mystery show.

 From Sartorialist.

 Another from Sartorialist.

Some Nadine practice. Not quite the right dress.

Watercolor of Nadine. Same dress. I love the hair.
