W.I.P. Sketch

Honestly, the last three pages of my sketchbook have been lists and notes to self, and I didn't think they'd be all that interesting to look at. :) Now, if you look in my think.jot.draw sketchbook, you'd see this:


I'm giving you guys a sneak peek at my Pippi project. These are a few of the character sketches I did while reading some of Pippilotta Viktualia Rullgardina Krusmynta Efraimsdotter Långstrump's adventures.

(Strangely enough, the version of Pippi in the South Seas didn't contain anything that sounded like the synopsis you posted, Astrid. I'm wondering if there was some serious editing done when they were republished here in the U.S.)

The stories were fun to read and I really like working on this character- she's a hoot!

(Oh, and did I mention how hard it is to not be influenced by the existing art of the book? I had to put post-it notes over the pictures so I wouldn't be swayed and have it influence my interpretation!)
