Un ado, un chaton, deux livres

 

He's a teenage boy from the Omo people in Ethiopia. I drew him from a photo I found in a book by Hans Silvester who photographed them for two years.



Little kitten, in blue, and in negative :



And books I read recently.



The Jim Harrison book was great (they're all great), and I loved the other one too, by Kate Atkinson. I almost stopped reading at one point, because it was so dark and I wanted something good to happen, but I'm glad I went on reading, because it was awesome. I want to read her other books, now.
English title is "When will there be good news?", and she really makes you wait for them, but it's worth it!

The teenager is such a complexity of fun shapes and color in a figure! The "negative kitty" shows off your really strong design in color placement and value. Interesting idea to pursue. :)

Great mix of sketches. Love the blue-eyed kitty. The boy is very fine in his regalia. Thanks for sharing.

Love the expression on the boy's face, and all of his decorative paint as well.

That kitty is adorable! I read Kate Atkinson's book, too. I enjoyed it, but I agree it was a bit difficult and grim. That poor girl!

Love all of these, but the first one is amazing!

I love the OMO people pieces - also the B&W sketches of Manon and the water tank - How do you find time to read so many books? do you sleep?
