More TV sketching: Murder, She Wrote

A few more TV sketches! These are from Murder, She Wrote — Season 1 Episodes 3 (“Deadly Lady”), 4 (“Birds of a Feather”) and 5 (“Hooray for Murder”).

Drawn on the iPad using Procreate, and as usual the rule is I can’t pause the show.

Always fun drawing lamps. I’m happy with that rosy face on the right.

’80s fringes defy gravity.

Murder scenes are fascinating for foreshortening. Also, ’80s depictions of Hollywood aren’t glamorous in the way they are now.

Let her in!

A girl can never wear too much blue/purple eyeshadow.

Lessons:

• Jessica Fletcher is tricky to draw at speed. It would be useful to draw her for a while from stills until I work out a visual shorthand.
• Concentrating on one element (e.g., hair or mouths) is rewarding and simplifies choosing what to concentrate on.
