The Inevitable Accompanying Drawings
Feb. 23rd, 2011 08:27 am
There's been a lot of typing around here lately and not much drawing. Luckily yesterday I had a big long meeting which was mostly not about me, so I got to do some sketching by the flickering reflected light off the screen. A dark screening room is not the place to look up sledge dog harnesses so I admit I made it up. This does not excuse the pitiful ignorance of dog anatomy, though! I spent most of my youth trying to make my cats look less like dogs and now my dogs look like cats. Sigh.In other news: Grumpyface Scott! (I never seem to draw him as anything else.) Everyone agrees there was general outrage at the news of Amundsen's camp across the way, and Vandee was kind enough to point out to me the source of yesterday's half-remembered reference, including Bill's line 'We had a bad time with Scott on the Discovery, but never anything like this.' Frank Debenham often describes Scott as 'quite wild' when angry or distressed – while he wasn't at Hut Point for this particular episode, it put funny pictures in my mind.
