Watterson- Calvin & Hobbes

So this is the latest project I did for my Illustration class.

We had to do a popular figure with supporting characters portraying what they are known for and... make a money design!

Seems silly but I had fun with it. :)

I used microns and a brush to ink it... using LOTS and LOTS of dots! Ack! ;)

I'm not skilled with scanners (as you know) and the original is too big for my scanner. So I made a copy and scanned that... (I'll try to get a better quality pic up).

You can't see much of the detail and some of the black faded in the copy... but I wanted to share.

Update! - Watterson is sort of recluse and after Calvin & Hobbes he disappeared from the public.... But,... he's popped up somewhere.... HERE

In the meantime here are some line drawings I did in class last semester and this semester... :)

I'm still experimenting with the quill pen regarding shading, line control, etc... will post more later...

I have a stack of work I plan on scanning so I may replace these photos as I go along...
