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.

Finding a balance

Over the past weeks I gathered quite some research material, including some very swingjugend specific books! The list of books is now pretty impressive. So much so, that I should be happy if I can finish reading by the end of the year. That's why lately I've been more busy reading than drawing. To avoid going on a complete hiatus I got the idea to use what I read about to make illustrations/short comics in between and not necessarily in relation to my story or characters. These could be personal stories from swings or character/environment sketches.

Speaking of research: I'd LOVE to have one of those portable gramophones for my research. They were all the rage.
Yesterday I picked up my acrylics and charcoal again after a long time and painted this little picture in my sketchbook (the horn is a bit on the tiny side, though :p) I'm also doing some self studies/cartoons again since I rarely did that anymore. The sketch below is one of them.

Sketchy

I found this sketch of Klara on my computer. Part of a larger drawing I never felt like finishing.

Schwimmspaß!

I'm taking a new dive into my project again by reading several informative books and collecting new reference material for my story. Lately I've been doing some swim/water themed sketches of some of my characters, which was lots of fun, especially drawing them in their 1940's swimwear.


This Klara happily decorates the first page of my new sketchbook. I might add some of the other drawings later when I've scanned them.
