He did actually draw a proper one up of Bleasdale Circle itself, but I haven't scanned it in yet. Trouble is, I'm not sure if the book's still in print. If it is then we're probably in serious breach of copyright here...but I suspect if I leave it six months or so, then post a few more, nobody'll notice.</B>Brian Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00350965110160879688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34515154.post-46525312511599017942008-08-02T15:18:00.000+01:002008-08-02T15:18:00.000+01:00I wouldn't mind a good clean copy of that book mes...I wouldn't mind a good clean copy of that book meself. The sketcehs are lovely... simple at first, but you can see in a minute that he knew what he was doing. The animals aren't as bad as you say... his pen nib wasn't small enough to render them perfectly, but you can see movement in those figures! Dynamic and lively, and very hard to draw. <BR/><BR/>I've unfortunately been unable to capture that 'spontaneous' feel each and every time. <BR/><BR/>More of this in the future would be nice. Where is Bleasedale Circle in relation to that illustration? Is it the bumps between the trees, or the raised ground under the shrubbery, or out of the scene altogether?<BR/><BR/>Cheers, JOHN :0)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15142977785391302797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34515154.post-45258085178957662212008-08-02T08:59:00.000+01:002008-08-02T08:59:00.000+01:00Jayne,They're good, aren't they?
