Blake style imagery or Dickens' Micawber?

Initial attempts to draw with ink, in the style of Quentin Blake; a stark contrast to David Copperfield's Micawber, portrayed by W.C.Fields in the 1935 film; drawn aged 15/16.























Enthused, from having watched the BBC Documentary, Quentin Blake - The Drawing of My Life' https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0012xpw it was decided to, 'give ink with nib a go' .


Enjoyably fun - lots of mistakes - like, must use waterproof ink but the development to explore ink with nib - will continue with possibly, a few more, ' Arry The Spider' stories!


And, as for David Copperfield's Micawber - those techniques never disappear; they remain in my archives.


BBC Documentary, Quentin Blake - The Drawing of My life - transmitted, December 2021 BBC2.
