The Final Page of The Jay Who Fell Down the Chimney

Day 4/365

I started this drawing thinking I would be clever and draw the last page first. I read this Hergé used this strategy. Just as I started to ink this page I thought of a better page. Maybe this will be the next to the last page. Maybe I’m not up to Hergé’s level…yet.

My materials included pencil, nib pen and ink, water soluble graphite, and a couple of Copic markers for the little butterfly, who has become a central character in the story…as of today, as of when I was coloring him with the markers. Yes, it’s pretty wild inside my head.
