Novel Illustration Psuedo-Extravaganza After Report


These are the only pictures I can stand to share, because I am really bad at drawing and most of them are even more unfinished.

As I said in an earlier post, I wanted to try out an idea I had for a contest similar to the famous event National Novel Writing Month, only with drawing illustrations for a story instead of writing a novel and I would try to do 50 illustrations in the month of February as opposed to writing 50,000 words in November, which, if a picture is worth a thousand words is a very fair exchange rate.  It has symmetry too, as February is one month in from the beginning of the year and November is one month in from the end.

So much for the theory, now for the practice, I finished the first 23 of fifty sketches and drew the frames for all fifty and it would take a hundred illustrations to get to the end of the book unless I scale it back a bit.

I did get some good drawing practice in though.  I'll figure out what to do with the psuedo-event next February.
