I recently discovered the wonderful writing of Diana Wynne Jones and absolutely fell in love. So far I’ve read 2 of her novels, Howl’s Moving Castle and House of Many Ways. Two more are sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. I can’t wait.

So using her writing as a catalyst, I’ve decided to start doing quick black and white drawings inspired by some of the books I have read. In a way, it’s just me doing fan art for the stuff I really like but it’s also a chance to experiment with different black and white techniques. Hopefully this endeavor will last longer than this initial post!

I don’t think this first one is entirely successful but there are a few little bright spots in it. Without further ado, here is Charmain Meets the Lubbock, inspired by House of Many Ways.
