I went back to using pen on these since pencil makes me too fussy about details. I also have to confess that I cheated a bit. Instead of drawing straight from the videos, I captured stills and drew from those.
My first page is of Paco de Lucia playing Flamenco guitar. Since I'm half Spanish I felt sort of nostalgic watching this and listening to him play, and I liked those close up shots on his hands. I'm not sure what year this video is from, but the hairstyles and clothing make me think somewhere in the 60's or 70's.
The next one is Reg Kehoe & His Marimba Queens. The whole thing made me smile, especially the crazy bass player, but he was just too fast for my pen to accurately capture his wild movements. The funniest part is that I couldn't hear anything he was trying to play the whole time.
And finally we have the present era with Neko Case. I enjoyed being able to draw a female guitar player, but I don't like that bottom center image of her singing into the microphone. It looks more like she's eating it.
Cristina,
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice. You captured the poses of the characters in a convincing manner.
With performances, posing can be very subtle or extreme - I like the range you have here. Stay loose with your line - but try to put a line down and commit to it. Try not to go over it too many times.
Well done.
