Action Mod Chick

This week, the model is reminiscent of some action/mod paperback cover, and if I could, I'd draw like McGinnis.


In the over-active world of my mind's eye, she's from Eastern Europe. Turns out she has a flat sort of Brooklynese accent.

Figure wash

While I've been having fun doing costume gesture with this pen and wash technique, I couldn't seem to wrap my head (or pen or brush or whatever) around how to draw the nude figure this way. But after hacking away at it for the past few weeks, I feel ok about what I'm doing now. She's kinda got the vibe of Howard Chandler Christy's wood sprites.

Little tramp and Spyguy

This guy went out of his way to invent great poses. The one where it looks like he's falling was accomplished by perching precariously on several stools and drawing benches. I was almost to nervous to draw him.



I had my fingers crossed as I attempted some of the 50's/60's illustrative style, "man on a mission". You know the stuff I mean. It was a nice idea...
