Arthur Adams - The Bride Of Frankenstein CGC Sketch Cover

The fourth and final of my submissions for last years sketch opportunity. Couldn't be more happy with the set.

Another beautiful drawing here, with small details that might otherwise go unnoticed...like the different sizes of her pupils, giving it just a little bit of extra creepiness. The rendering on the hair, the crosshatching, it's all masterful.

I like to call Arthur's work 'tight but loose' a name given to Led Zeppelin's live performances..where while the band was tight musicianship wise, they could improvise and 'loosen' up within the framework of the arrangements...with Arthur's work, when you pull back it looks very highly detailed and meticulously rendered, which it is, but if you look closely, the line work is actually quite loose..there's a freshness and vitality to the line that lets the drawing breathe...it's not stiff and solid like some artists that work in a detailed style might have.

Like a fine wine, he's only getting better with age.
