Weather and other happenings have conspired against walking recently but modelling progresses steadily. Here are some illustrations for the Army Land Rover I am making..

I keep my eyes and my ears on the alert for endless thoughtless and sometimes meaningless use of our English language. For a long time now I have been aware of almost everybody "going forward", but yesterday I was taken aback by someone "coming forward."

KATIE UPDATE

| Katie's cat |
I'm not sure about the odd eye. However it reminded me of a powerful but sad short story by Damon Runyon which I think was called Johnny One Eye and I believe later made into a film noir.

That cat shows a lovely light touch, well done Katie. Is it their cat?
ReplyDeleteNo doubt, you need a light touch for all those models.
VBC - not their cat. I was impressed by the detail of the little black spots the whiskers emerge from which I have noted myself in real life. The whiskers also seem to have a vibrant lifelike quality, not just a series of straight lines.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the typo "VBC" - perhaps, under present circumstances Virtual Bowland Climber?
ReplyDeleteI think I know that cat: she draws out the essence of her subjects with but few subtle and sensitive lines : awe is appropriate.
ReplyDeletegimmer - Perhaps I am biased but I see a sort of confidence in boldly committing sketch lines to second place with that effective stronger outline. There is more but at the risk of accusation of nepotism I will leave it at that.
