The Escape
This is a fun thing I like to do. I take random pages from one of my sketchbooks and put them together in such a way to suggest a story. In this case, these are scans from one of my little 3-inch by 5-inch sketchbooks I often have on my person for the inevitable boring meeting or 30-minute car oil change.
So, what do you notice in the drawings? What do you think happened? What's happening next?
Thanks.
Hey, this is a cool idea for brainstorming. I enjoy your use of texture in your sketches.
Thanks, so much. The pen work is sort of meditative.
Yea. You feel what you focus on.
Here's a story I just thought up to go with the panels above...
"Beatrice waited until the house was asleep. Drawing closed her bag containing the few belongings she could afford to take, she crept down the servants’ stairway of her family home, out the great oaken door, and down the path to the stranger waiting at the gate.
Passage on the airship was neither safe nor cheap, but it was the only way to slip the border without leaving a trail. She had had dealings with these pirates before, after all.
Weeks later…
Taking in a deep breath of the mountain air, a steaming mug in hand, Beatrice allowed the morning sun reflecting off the bald peak above her cottage to glow behind her closed eyelids. Opening her eyes, she let her gaze drift down to the valley below. She would make a life here. More importantly, she would be hurt no more."
