Character sketches: Aunt Dahlia
Today, while struggling with the next part of my WIP of doom, I felt compelled to take out some of my creative frustrations on some canon material. Here are a couple of sketches of Aunt Dahlia, inspired by Code of the Woosters.
I'm sure all you artiste types are familiar with the problem of getting characters to come out on paper looking like the version in your head. This really isn't quite how I picture Dahlia, but she's at least in the general ballpark.
The inspiration for her outfit is here.
This little sketch, rough and cartoony though it is, somehow looks more like her to me than my somewhat more detailed work above:
Now with bonus picture-frame-wearing, sheet-entangled Spode!
