Description
Remember this one?I thought I'd dust it off and try to finish the damned thing...I know!..another W.I.P. on yet another drawing, but don't let anyone tell you I've got a short attention span!
Last time I worked on this, back in April, a couple of my friends noticed that the perspective was wrong in the background..so thanks guys for pulling me up on it, and especially thanks to `Denis-Peterson for going one step further by showing me how to fix it, whilst my brain went into melt down...anyway I think it's rectified, but be sure to let me know if it still needs adjustments.
Anyway for those new to this one:
The scene from the film Brief Encounter when the two main characters, Laura Jesson and Dr Alec Harvey played by Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard, first meet and he removes a piece of grit from her eye....yeah, yeah...I know...you thought he was shoving a hanky up her nose!!
I'm doing this and a few other drawings from the film for the train station where certain scenes from the film were shot way back in the 1940's.
Her herringbone jacket still isn't finished
I'll have spent in excess of 40 hours on it.

lol...i spent 35p on a whole loaf of bread and there was no clubcard points on the bill....how annoying they are...makes me wanna sue them.
I prefer shopping at LIDL though, i save 50% ...that means a trip to Carnforth. OMG i forgot to say...one of my best friends from INdias moving to Preston so maybe i ll just stay there and shift to and fro to Carnforth
instead of drooling alll over the couch
