Dr Sketchy at the British International Comics Show!

Well on Saturday I went to a Comics Show with Ian Ellery and we bought some dinosaurs and creepy crawlies and two Simon's Cat books and then had a look at the stunning, inspirational Hokusai Demons and saw some Simon's Cat films and then it was time for Dr Sketchy's Heroines 'n' Villains event.

So this is what I dun:

Firstly, here's Parma Violet as Harley Quinn:



And Cherry Fox as Wonderwoman:



And Marnie Scarlet as Poison Ivy (I'm getting so long-sighted these days I could draw in this amount of detail despite the fact that she was standing 80' away):



And Sherry Trifle as Cheetara:



Had a few problems because the pink paper doesn't let you blob properly; the white stuff did all right, though! For more images from the occasion, have a look here.

Wow, Poison Ivy is just fabulous.

Though I'm worried about the longsightedness... if you're seeing at that level of detail so far away, how do you draw? Really, really long pencils?

Loving the Poison Ivy and Cheetara sketches!

Thanks for the kind comments, Liz and Shona! As for the drawing, I now use a pantograph type affair with a specially adapted squirty thing for the blobby bits.

Does anyone else out there remember pantographs?

I've still got a snazzy pair of pantographs and still wear them on special occassions. But i've got some old pantaloons which i still draw with......Hows the blob problems?
