Giant Under the Snow reworked


I reworked the Giant Under the Snow drawing on vellum paper using graphite and prismapencil.
Hopefully I can go on to develop this illustration into a colour painting.

This is lovely and crisp! And evocative too - are prismacolours so difficult to find in UK? I hadn't thought it; they're not that hard to find here which is surprising! (My set dates back from...20 years ago, good grief.)

All your watercolour studies are -lovely-. The old man reminds me of my operating theatre days at the hospital.

Hi Shuku,

Thanks for stopping by. Interesting you say that about that old man watercolour as I did originally use it in as an illustration about a man who had died in an accident :S

You used to work in an operating theatre? As a surgeon or........?

Daniel,

Lord no, everyone would be in trouble if I were a surgeon! I was PA to a surgeon, and I had to be in the operation theatre to take notes/record certain operations that needed it. I managed to get in some surreptitious sketching time on occasion. That's the only thing I miss about it - otherwise, it was way, way too cold in there!
