This weeks progress

On Wednesday the 12th I went over to Jane's house to interview her and take photographs. I recorded our interview and on Thursday while in the studio from 1 to 4:30 I transcribed the interview. Here are the parts that I found to be most interesting:

"Oh I looked just like I do now, short hair. Um my my hair was always real fine and stringy."

"I was the shortest one in my class and I couldn't get into the girls drum and bugle core because you had to be 5 feet and three inches."

"I was saying, I was 5 feet. I was 93 pounds."

I haven't decided yet if i want to use all three quotes or just choose the one that I think goes best with the illustration.

I also started doing sketchs for my final illustration of Jane. I chose the picture that I found captured her energy the most and started to draw it.

On Saturday I was in the studio all day and finished the first full size draft of my final illustration that I did on newsprint to see how it would end up looking.



I then did a few practice sketches of her face to see what I thought would look the best.


Today, sunday, I was in the studio from 1:30 to 8:30. I purchased illustration board for the piece and then did a final drawing on that board. I will upload a picture of that when I photograph it.
