Clean-Up


Finished (at least for now) drawing. Now time for some painting...

Sized Ruff


This is another ruff... this one is to size and will be used to finish this drawing.

Ruffs


Here are some ruff sketches. Trying to and get a feel for the pose and what the characters will look like.
Very rough sketches made at Panera during the last 15 min of my lunch break- I'm almost embarrassed to post them. Almost. I do like the idea of him having a lightbulb for a head while holding onto his original :)
and a quick tentative pallette just to get it out of my head.

Introduction to Edison

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor, scientist and businessman who developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" (now Edison, New Jersey) by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large teamwork to the process of invention, and therefore is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.

Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding 1,093 U.S. patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. He is credited with numerous inventions that contributed to mass communication and, in particular, telecommunications. His advanced work in these fields was an outgrowth of his early career as a telegraph operator. Edison originated the concept and implementation of electric-power generation and distribution to homes, businesses, and factories – a crucial development in the modern industrialized world. His first power station was on Manhattan Island, New York.
