WIP: A Little More Progress…

Here’s some progress on my Claudette Colvin illustration. Lines are more-or-less final and I’ve done the colors and shading on Miss Colvin there in the middle.

More to come…

A work in progress image. It is to be an illustration of Claudette Colvin's refusal to yield her seat to a white woman in Montgomery, AL. The scene shows the interior of a segregated bus with Miss Colvin seated and defiant in her spot and the other passengers reacting to her according to their role in the event. The colors and shading are done on Miss Colvin, but the other characters have final lines, but no colors or shading.

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.
