WIP: With Sketchy People

I was out of town last week, but now I’m back and here’s what I was working on today. You’ll recognize the same scene from my last post, but I’ve added a bit of highlights and shading and I sketched in all the characters.

This scene is to be an illustration of Claudette Colvin’s March 2, 1955 refusal to give up her seat to a white woman on a segregated bus. You can see Miss Colvin there in the middle, with her schoolbooks and her righteous defiance.

I’ll post more as I work on it.

A work in progress illustration of Claudette Colvin refusing to yield her seat on a Montgomery Alabama bus in 1955.  The interior of the bus is mostly complete, but the characters are only sketches on white backgrounds.
