Last week I decided to tackle the difficult things I was putting off. The first challenge was to draw the ancient city of Matera. These are my first attempts above and below using watersoluble graphite. I don’t quite know what to think of it but it is my initial foray into drawing a mass of buildings, something I usually avoid.

I am taking the tentative and cautious steps into creating a graphic novel form short story. It seems there is no prescribed formula so everyone figures out their own path as they go along. I am trying to create mine. Two of the more interesting panels feature depictions of claustrophobia and I’ve tried sketching them out in the drawings below.
