Moby-Dick: Chapter 48, The First Lowering - Couple of views from the first part of the chapter.
1. Ahab sets out with the hunting party (which is not normal), with secret crew members that were just revealed. A black shape, like death himself, a harpoon & ropes. Framed by the shape of the Pequod.
2. Pequod hunting crew, a black mass, all hands, ropes, ores, coats, sleeves, harpoons. (thinking of what the whale sees!)
3. Still a black mass of hands, harpoon, ores, small boats framed by the coming storm clouds - which cause a lot of problems on the hunt.

Fantastic work. The second and third options are particularly strong. I would have a hard time picking between those two.

All 3 of these are great! The figures look strong and mysterious. The low horizon line and dramatic perspective pull the viewer into the scene.
and the spears and tools give it all a really cool silhouette.

Nice work here, Danny! Working this way forces you to simplify and to be decisive in your shapes.

My current studio setup - It's great to have an extra room of my house just for illustration. But I had recently seen some photos of art studio spaces, Gustav Klimt, Lawrence Alma Tadema, JS Sargent - and just thought about what it would be like to have a space dedicated to just drawing and paint - just easels and tables.

Danny, nice work here. One of the first things that they teach you when starting a new business is to research similar companies. I have my students research their industry to see how people are making a living with their work. Your curiosity about Klimt, Tadema and Sargent led you to some great information and best practices for setting up your studio. Wish I had thought of that!
