Sailor Sketches

Wow. Was my last post on here in October? Been a while. But, as work is slackening up, I'm starting to gear up for "drawing" season.

So, here are some very raw sketches done during lunch at work.

Clockwise, starting in the upper left hand corner:
Corto Maltese
A RN officer in a Duffle Coat
An Argyll and Sutherland Highlander, circa Korea. (OK, not a sailor, but Argyll's are cool.)
USN Enlisted Sailor circa 1920ish
Gilliat, from Victor Hugo's "Toilers of the Sea"

Thanks for dropping by...I've got much planned this summer. Lot's of potential obstacles. Hope I can pull it off.

Duffle Coat Experiment

This was just an experiment in digital color for me. I am super not happy with the results, but it's a baby step, and I'll try again.

RN Lifeboatman Making Log Entry

Until I get my image editing problems sorted out...this'll have to do.
This is from a Corbis photo entitled "Royal Naval Lifeboatman Making Log Entry".

Test

This is a test...I'm trying out some new image editing software and so far I'm very unhappy about it...
