slightly different slant to my Mother and Child drawings, this is a commission piece for a friend who wanted her husband included...no sooner said than done - think its a bit obvious that I'm looking forward to the Lichtenstein Retrospective at Tate Modern in a couple of months too!!!
this week i started my largest doodle. it will be 1,50 x 0,90 meters (about 39 x 35 inches - if I coverted correctly) which is the exact size of our livingroom table.
Das illustriertes Lüdenscheid Poster gibt es nun auch in kleiner Auflage in meinem Shop.
A small edition of the illustrated poster of the German town Luedenscheid is now available in my shop.
Months away from the nationalisation of Britain's railways that would see all four of the railways noted here merged into one concern is this advert with what was then a perennial plea - one for the return of railway wagons. All four company's then owned vast numbers of wagons, alongside the huge fleets of private owners wagons, in total possibly as many as 1.5 million of them and they were all needed in the post-war world of production and reconstruction. This advert pushes the message about rapid turnaround of wagons - one of the railways particular binds was companies using wagons parked up on sidings as 'cheap' storage! The three vignettes are signed by Bernard Bowerman. This is, I suspect, Bernard J W Bowerman (1911 - 1970) who attended art colleges in north east London and who undertook a canon of work detailing industrial scenes as well as chapter headings for various editions of "Janes Country Yearbooks" around this date.
blood weeps
from the unguided riot.
Rage and affections opposed.
Immodest highness
comes to be hated.
Perfectness of memory
shall grace past evils.

For this assignment we had to draw a mammal and I chose an Asian Elephant. I shot the photo at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, shortly after the birth of baby elephant, Pathi Harn, in 2010.
I think the skeleton looks a bit dodgy. I found a number of skeletons on the internet but nothing matched the posture of my elephant, so had to make it up.
I left out the muscle structure. Muscles are attached to each rib bone which I have drawn too thin and it all just became too complicated.

We now have received the final information and instructions for week 6:
The task:
A fully rendered drawing of a plant, flower, or an animal.
Wow! This is getting serious and the amount of work is just about mind-boggling. Everything is explained in detail; From furs, to feathers, to eyes, and more.
I have learnt a lot in this course. At this stage, the final task appears overwhelming and I think I will have to spend more time on this task than the 3 - 6 hours recommended each week. So, I am not sure whether or not I will be able to complete this task in time.
Be it as it may, once I am finished with it, even if it is past the due date, I shall upload my work on flickr.
Depending on how seriously one is taking this course, it is quite involved, definitely worthwhile doing. For me, doing it in six weeks is stretching it a bit because I am a somewhat slow worker :)
