Not quite AHAB- a4 sketchbook-colored pencils.
Trying to visualise Captain AHAB from Melville's 'Moby Dick.' Thought I had him with the preliminary sketch but I've haven't got what I was after. I didn't want him grimacing, but he doesn't look quite as forbidding as I think he should. Might have another go at some point. But he does look like an old salt. This is in a new toned Strathmore sketchbook, they are surprising robust for paper of only 118 gsm. I really should do these things on heavier paper, but I like working in sketchbooks.
About the Artist
Lewis Cooper
Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
