Hit with Inspiration

Posted on April 22, 2012 by Sarah

I’d watched my DVD copy of the Alec Guinness Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy on Saturday, and got inspired. I watched the second piece, Smiley’s People today, and while doing that also did a pencil portrait of Guinness as George Smiley, with his nemesis, the Russian spymaster Karla (played by Patrick Stewart – though he didn’t have many scenes – and no lines!) behind him.

(I’m also using this post as an occasion to start familiarizing myself with the features of the ComicsPress options.

Here’s the beginning sketch.

About Sarah

Now residing in Las Vegas, I was born in Michigan and moved to Texas when 16. After getting my Masters degree in English, I moved to Hollywood, because of the high demand for Medievalists (NOT!). As a freelance writer and editor, I found Nevada offers better conditions for the wallet. I love writing all sorts of things, and occasionally also create some artwork.
