Sketches from "Terror by Night" 1946

A Basil Rathbone-as-Sherlock-Holmes film on TV the other night...lots of fedoras, trenchcoats, 40s haircuts and wonderfully English noses. There were a lot of cramped compositions (the entire film takes place aboard a train) which made for some great sketch opportunities.

some studies...some from memory...

basketball sketch

I'm scanning my sketchbook whilst sipping coffee...lots of posts today...

i have more sketches than Canada has owls...

These are all sketches in preparation for a Science Matters illo...I realized after much work that spotted owls look nothing like my sketches, or even my favorite owl. Ah well...
