Cordelia.

I've been watching loads of crime drama series recently while doing work. They don't need too much attention to understand what's going on, so they're great for keeping company whilst doing work. So, I felt kinda stuck with the various ideas I've been working on recently for third year projects. Being able to write your own brief is *not* entirely helpful (at least for me - too many ideas whirling around, with no limitations on themes or outcome except for the ones i set myself). Getting back to the crime series, I thought I'd draw a simple sequence just to get out of the rut I put myself into, and get back into drawing narrative. Also, I needed to test out and get better at using my new fountain pen and creating a good mix of entirely black shadows, details and white areas. Anyway, this is what came out of that. I'm pretty satisfied with most of it, although I might switch the second and third panels round to give the entire page more balance. Aaand I'm not too happy with the reflection of the hand in the bottom panel - not sure if I should leave it white, shadow it like I did with the front leg in the second panel, or just get rid of the reflection entirely. Meh, I'll have a think about it and a go at it tomorrow.
