Klara
Finally did some V Für Victory stuff again. We have been working on the story, but I hadn't made any artwork in so long. So I coloured this sketch of our main character.

A photograph of you
First of all: I apologize for the terrible hiatus this summer. BUT I'm working on and planning some new stuff, like short comics, more illustrations and I'm also making a second attempt at creating my own fashion, since I can hardly ever find anything I like in stores.
In the meantime my boyfriend and I are putting the story for our swing comic together, working on the characters and looking into the history and people of Hamburg.

Swingverbot
There's been so much going on lately that I didn't have the time to update this month. It was getting a bit frustrating, but despite all that I painted this little something in my sketchbook not too long ago. Going back to acrylic paint and coal. I sure missed making traditional work!

Klara's Swingin' Songs
At the moment I'm working on several things at a time, thus not getting much finished. But I'm still drawing! Here's a work in progress (detail) of one of the works. This drawing kept changing every time, since I didn't really know what I was going for with it. Still not really sure, but we'll see.
- finished drawing -
EDIT 13/02/13: Well, it's finished. I chose editing this post rather than making a new entry with the same drawing. After the last update it got some more colour and I made it a bit poster-like. I might print some postcards of this to sell at the Kunststripbeurs in Utrecht next month.

From the archives [Part 2]
Today's the 17th, so I thought it's time for another look into the progress of my project. This time a focus on the main character of the story: Klara. Not much "old" work was found, because Klara was initially created as filler material for the group and didn't play much of role in the story.... yet.
I managed to dig up these two drawings of Klara's 'old-school' look. Funny enough she was the only character with German roots before the whole Swingjugend idea came along.
But how did she make it to main character?
At first I didn't focus on one lead for the story, but rather on the group. And that's where I got stuck. I did think a male lead would be interesting with having more pressure from society in joining the Hitlerjugend and/or militairy service. But still the story was going nowhere but a few short scenes and events. The characters were still empty shells and that was the problem.
After a short brainstorm session in my comic class, in which I explained some of the scenes to find not something, but someone to have the stoy focus on. The only name that kept coming back was Klara's, who appeared to be a more interesting character than I thought.
Aside from a new haircut her design hasn't changed much and the more I was drawing her, the more I loved her design. With that the young clarinettist has also gotten more character. With a love for swing and jazz music in Nazi-Germany and a boyfriend in the German army she might lose everything she holds dear.

Sketchdump #2
Here's more of my Klara sketches. She's so much fun to draw. I'm not working on this story as much as a I want to at the moment, but there are more school projects to work on. There's a few busy, but exciting weeks ahead. I'll still try to keep throwing some updates around :)

Sketchdump #1
Lots of Klara! I draw her a lot lately (I like her owl-like features). Next time I'll add bit more information about the personalties of my characters.
