Children were warned, "Be good, or else..."
This drawing is part of a larger project in progress, and happens to fit the bill for this week's topic in Illustration Friday. The original sketch has the children in front of a door frame, but I think that the final composition at side of the school house has more gravity. Pen, ink, graphite, and acetone transfers.

Fantastic, I love it! Wonderfully quirky pen and ink cast of characters. Terrific line work.
ReplyDeleteintersting combination (acetone tranfers - I've never actually done that on a drawing! I take it you use a rather thick paper?) Great figures! And I agree about the wall rather than the door - it makes me think of those old photos of school classes or even families, posing in front of their house (or school). Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy, Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI used an acetone blender marker to transfer newspaper print and shingle textures. The paper is Rising Stonehenge -- not too thick. So much for spending all that money on acid-free rag paper when I just go into it with acetone ;)
