The Varsity

Well a few days ago I accepted a request to illustrate an article from the Varsity, The University of Toronto's student newspaper. The article was about the differences in male/female brains and the nature vs. nurture issue.

Here are the roughs from thumbnail right up to inking and the finished piece… and I'm going to bed now.

Sketchbook 13/08/09

Another day at the ROM and I chose the base of the totem pole to sketch instead of the top which I had done previously here and here.

Fortunately, I picked up on a few tidbits about the pole from passing tourist groups. It's about 25m high, half the height of Niagara Falls (I assume the Canadian side ;-) ) and that it's "read from the bottom up."

I'm going to throw this out there. I'm getting drawn into the same situations from previous experiences sketching at the ROM. If you were at you local museum, what would you sketch? I'll take any suggestions and modify it to my situation.
