After two months of scribbling and after a watercolor version, then put away, I am still looking for credible faces for Paolo (above the last and I hope definitive sketch) and Francesca. The background of the scene (lustful dragged by the storm) will be a playful compositional game, but to get there you have to solve the physiognomy of above said two wretches. It’s a step that every illustrator has taken, I must say without particular originality. This originality thing is turning out to be some kind of trap…
Finally something came out, even if it was too static. But nothing is thrown away. Below is a detail. The final result on the dedicated page sub DRAWINGS, as usual.
