My novel won’t be illustrated, but that hasn’t stopped me doodling the main characters. I’ll post some of the sketches here while I wait to hear what my editor thinks of the latest revision. This cluster of heads shows my search for a clear sense of Eddie, a troubled fourteen-year-old boy who spends most of the book (and the year 1940) on the run from a ghost he believes is trying to kill him. He’s right about that, but not in the way he thinks.
As ever, click for a closer look.
Awesome sketches. If I tried to sketch my characters they would look like sticks with poorly shaped heads.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anita:)
ReplyDeleteJust fantastic, Thomas! Ah, to be talented ...
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Simon.
ReplyDeleteJust out of interest - which one did you settle on in the end?
ReplyDeleteKate, he's an amalgam of the two colour images at the bottom. I'll probably post another image of Eddie soon.
