Above is the pencil drawing for THE KEYS OF MARINUS that was sent to the editor for approval. This was faxed over with notes written on the margin ( as can be seen).
Above are the layouts and final pencil drawing for THE WAR GAMES. Both roughs were pretty similar as I'd settled on the basic design. The final pencil drawing pending approval had a large forground Roman figure inserted to give the image depth.
I pretty much nailed the design I wanted here first go. It was a simple exercise of lightboxing through and fleshing out the image.
Great to see roughs and early stages like this, especially The War Games :)
ReplyDeleteWhich was your first time team? I may be remembering wrong but did you come in a little bit after the feature started?
look forward to future posts in the series
cheers
Hi Chris -
ReplyDeleteI've been drawing Time Teams since the beginning - the first was THE UNEARTHLY CHILD. I'll pop the pencil up at some point!

Great work - so dynamic!
ReplyDeleteWere I a publisher, I'd be collecting your Time Team and miscellaneous Who pieces into a lovely glossy hard-cover. But as I am not, I'll have to live with back-issues and this lovely blog. Thanks for posting!
Thanks very much , I'd love a Time Team art book out there too. After 7 years there is alot of background stuff - which is why I figured I'd start sharing some. I appreciate very much the TT fans as it's been a sheer joy working on the feature that's seen 4 editors! I'm hoping we'll get going on the new stuff soon.:)
