Fan Art Friday: William Hampton & Jane Tillney from A Slight Miscalculation by Deb Marlowe, Amelia and Harry from London Underworld by Rebecca Burgess & Aya of Yop City by Marguerite Abouet and Illustrated by Clemént Oubrerie

Happy Fan Art Friday everyone! Today I'll be showing you three fan arts. I have used coloured inks for all of these drawings. Two of them has a brown background. This was made using tea.


The first fan art is of William Hampton and Jane Tilney from A Slight Miscalculation by Deb Marlowe. This short novella is part of a series called the Half Moon House. William Hampton finds the Half Moon House after his astronomy calculation is solved. I was very intrigued that astronomy was featured it drew me into the story. The drawing consists of three pictures. Two of them of how I conveyed these two characters in profile and the last drawing shows where they are positioned. I enjoyed making this drawing as I did reading it.  While reading this novel, the picture came to mind. It is actually of a scene that takes place in the novel. I quite impressed with it:


The next fan art is of Amelia and Harry from London Underworld by Rebecca Burgess. I bought the graphic novel from the London Comic Con in October this year. I was fascinated that there was a comic that was set in Victorian England. Amelia who is part of the upper class gets bored of her high class status and decides to have some fun with the help of Harry and his gang. There was a lot humour and there was drama in the comic too. Rebecca has portrayed the characters in the story was really well.  I really liked Ameila and Harry in the comic:



The third and final fan art of today is of Aya from the comic of the same title. It was written by Marguerite Abouet and illustrated by Clemént Oubrerie. I first read the first volume when I was in my second or third year at uni and during this week I found the next volume at my local library. The story is set during the 1970's in Cote D'Ivoire bust somehow I felt this comic series definitely revelent for today. The comic frees itself from the way Africa is portrayed in the media. Aya who is the main character of the story has a dream to become a doctor. As she is in this process of making her dream a reality, her friends and family also go through things and situations that are very much relevent today as it was back in the 1970's. I felt pleased to read this comic again after a couple of years that I have read the first volume and I feel very convinced that Aya would certainly achieve her dream. I have yet to read the rest of the series but I think that it is going to be very interesting.:


There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting and please leave a comment.
