More sketches for the book!
It makes feel accomplished to upload junkie sketches like this, but i'm learning a bit about how I work. I don't like making pencil sketches as much as digital ones. These are really messy and I'm prolly the only one who can understand what the hell is going on here. The color sketch came first, the black and white i'm trying to refine the idea a bit. It's still very rough but a think most of the visual problems are solved and straight forward that if I went in to finish at this point I could build it up with paint, and not run into too much trouble.
This is in like a ...courtyard like place...I'm not sure, its outside and the girls on the second level are on a wooden like structure. They are all weaving nets, except for the two ladies in the right hand corner. One is telling a joke or story of some sort and the girl is listening, which the lady in the far left is working quietly.
This woman is daydreaming while working
Winslow Homer is a big inspiration for these sea ladies, he did a series of images of women fixing nets, carrying baskets and roughing the seas, they are beautiful. I will post them later
