A character I’ve been working on for an illustrated publication I’ve had on the backburner for some time and based on an old photograph I came across once. The original, although pefectly innocent and depicted in an everyday medical setting, I found had possible sinister overtones, certainily enough to have triggered my imagination into action. It was the syringe, but also somehow in combination with the woman’s expression - it was / is something I found / find difficult to put a finger on let alone put into words; and I’m not sure I have been entirely successful in capturing that whatever-it-is; and I think I may have made her too broad in the beam. But I think it has got SOMETHING going for it, even if it does need a little more work. She won’t be depicted in isolation, as here, in the finished work of course - but to say any more would be to risk giving too much away!
