On the four Telephone salary promotion spots....all were done with a favorite pen at the time, a fiber tipped marker (Pentel?). They bled, so hard to retouch. The young shopping lady, the four girls with a cake, the newly weds and sports car, were pretty much 'no reference' spots. I used current fashion mags for ladies clothing. First sketched on tissue, refined, and rendered. Admit to a small B&W photo reference on the couple kissing....I think the youngster and sitting up pooch added. Earlier on, the small 'Palace Hotel' spot....a difficult subject. The AD wanted to show a carriage driving into the hotel, as was the custom (can you imagine the odeur in the hotel?). Also costumes of the day....and the inside of the hotel in the background. A big order in a 2 x 3 inch spot! I think it came off.Charlie Allennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064869808377826774.post-75435933954402072502009-08-06T12:40:36.652-07:002009-08-06T12:40:36.652-07:00Thanks, per always.

Came along in my 60's, and as I was phasing out of the biz. Jerry, on a 'tutorial'.....I should write a book about learning to draw, schools, etc. In a nutshell....it's observing and absorbing what you see, constantly assessing your work, and practice, practice, practice!Charlie Allennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064869808377826774.post-27629182248851874122009-08-06T03:31:14.736-07:002009-08-06T03:31:14.736-07:00Delightful line art.

The train spot is absolutely fantastic.<br />JerryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028261049147161358noreply@blogger.com
