Reported in an earlier post that the Art-Tec store had gone out of business and was having a sale. I saw the building while going by in a bus, taking my cat to the vet (it was to get her stitches out from spaying surgery: very successful). But the store was sad: all of the […]

This was a lot of work. Still, if I want one of these pictures to look less silly, I’d have to carefully plan it: do thumbnail drawings for composition, value studies so I could develop a proper colour palette, and then draw my figures from copy.
