Project 365 ~ #167
#167 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: Thinking of the ghastly Edward Gorey alphabet book...
Result: A is for Anna who walked through the wood.
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Platinum Carbon Fountain Pen in a Stillman & Birn Epsilon series sketchbook ( 21.6 cm 27.9 cm / 8 1/2" x 11")
Location: Home while invaded by extended family. Cue the chaos!
Note: I sat down today to write up my own version of the Gashlycrumb Tinies, but involving untimely deaths that might befall mice. Studying Edward Gorey's drawings is a tremendously good way for me to learn & practice designing full scenes in ink. While his light touch of macabre is inspiring, the only one bearing any resemblance to the book is X ...all others are flights of grim fancy brought to you directly from the bleak depths of my own imagination. It's nice to have a plan B to fall back on if I can't come up with anything else to draw. I call it 26 Demice.
