On the Mole, Funchal, 10 August 1992 (Rotring Art Pen in A4 sketchbook)
It was quite intimidating drawing this huge grab. It towered over me and getting the perspective right was a challenge. Putting the two pages together in Photoshop proved almost beyond me, however, so apologies for the slight disconnect at the top of the drawing.
It's a Martian Fighting Machine ! I've always thought that the depicion of the Martian Fighting Machine on the album cover of Jeff Waynes musical version of " War Of The Worlds " was far to spindly ..that Grab is just right. It really is Intimidating. Not to worry though ..the chances of anything coming from Mars is a Million to One, they say.
ReplyDeleteHarry,
ReplyDeleteI found you on Everyday Matters and had to look you up. You have my grandfather's name! He grew up in Prince Edward Island, Canada; moved to Portland, Oregon. Loved your drawings, BTW.

Marta -- You're wrong, I'm afraid: I have *my* grandfather's name :O)
ReplyDeleteI used to have a relative in Vancouver and I still have one in Oregon.
Harry,
ReplyDeleteDramatic! Make a good painting?!
Kev
It might indeed, although it might have to be a big one and I'm reluctant to add to my stock of large paintings these days.
ReplyDeletefantastic looking sketch!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex.
