Davy Jones
More from P is for Pirate as we count down to Talk Like a Pirate Day, September 19th! I’ll be presenting a pirate program at Adams Memorial Library in Latrobe, PA, Friday & Saturday September 19th & 20th.
Here is D is for Davy Jones from sketch to final painting. Sorry about the color in my progress shots—must’ve been at night and I forgot to switch the flash on. You can see I based my version of Davy Jones on an 1892 ink drawing by John Tenniel from the British humor magazine, Punch. Tenniel is the guy who drew the famous illustrations for Alice In Wonderland.
So much fun! Love the details, and especially the colors! Feel like I’m on the beach in the Caribbean! Still get mixed up with the pronunciation of that. Thought I had it all straight and then the “Pirates” movie trilogy came out and now I’m all confused!
