Drink and Draw (by sarah)
Last night part of what I did was go to the second ever Drink and Draw in Cheltenham organised by Proud Lion and the True Believers Comic Con team. I wasn't there for all of it due to poetry stuff but I did abandon my family there and later came back for them. It was a hive of activity with people chatting and eating and drawing, Jean and Mary had a great time drawing and playing with lego.
I kind of failed at networking but then I always do, it's kind of just not me - it's called being shy! I tried to start a couple of convos but Mary or Jean interrupted and that was it.
I false started 3 and finished one concept sketch for my Punk series and reconciled myself to being the least talented person in the room - and I mean that - you should have seen some of the stuff being drawn!
Anyway for those of you interested in the process here are three concept sketches.
The city Babel with it's Tower - based on coral reefs and sea shells.
Placenta tree which is where the clones both Masters and Slave and highbreds are produced.
Punku with her laser pen - I am still not entirely happy with her but think she is almost there.
These are all elements that will go into the front cover which I designed in my first Script Frenzy.
I'm looking forward to the next drink and draw and also am steaming ahead with the drawing stuff - my plan is now to attempt to do some water colour back grounds.
