DUENNA

The first rough sketch in a pocket sketchbook. The inked version follows-- and finally the "outre" colouring" . . .

A trio of characters who deserve development-- like the GUMSHOE AND THE GILL-MAN duo . . .

This was the result. Bob Kane's original character has come a long way . . .

"DOK" a character from CONTESSA FATALE

ink/ dickblick paper

FLYGIRLS

Some of today's "straw for the fire", as Theodore Roethke put it . . .

CRIMES OF THE PINEAPPLE

CRIMES OF THE PINEAPPLE:

A sinister stalker with an exploding pineapple haircut . . .

FIGHTERS: three steps using photo reference

Photo from the Scalera photo-reference book . . .

Quick sketch based loosely on the Scalera photograph . . .

Finally-- a little fanciful ink and an implied context . . .

Again, I didn't "polish" this drawing because it's only a demonstration.
