Once Upon a Time-March-Albert Robida 1848-1926

Jacqui, good going there. The dirigible itself looks alive!

I copied a few. Bamboo pen with Chinese ink. Some places has Chinese brush.

This one is ball pen. I am in general very impatient with ball pen and you could tell how sloppy it is.

You really captured the gestures and expressions, great work. I really liked the look of that house too, you did well doesn’t look rushed.

Good work, Sandra. Glad you are doing some of his fairy tale illustrations and I love that house. Imagine living in that.

Jacqui, like the loose feel of your sketch and the snooty look on the dirigible.

Here is a quick sketch inspired by what I have seen of his work:

This is a work in progress. It looks rather chaotic right now but my friend June suggested I try using white like Henry Moore’s underground drawings (I’ve posted on of those here) So …..I have some time this morning to fool around with this ……I’ll be back………..

Thanks Jacqui though the proportions are very askew – some in the distance people are too big and some in foreground are too small……

Here’s the finish – the color is way off…. the blue and yellow are right but the white hardly shows up AND it is on HOT PINK paper!!!! but you get the gist

These are wonderful, Robin. Doesn’t matter what size your characters are, it all works. :thumbsup:

I love the Underground pictures by Moore and am still trying to figure out how he did the ink, wax, color effect. There is a book on the Underground work, but it’s very expensive.

It all comes together so well. So much activity, so many personalities, love all the expressions. Fantastic.
