Sketch o’the Week- McHale Redux!
August 30th, 2023 | Posted in Sketch O'The Week
This sketch of Ernest Borgnine, Tim Conway and Joe Flynn from “McHale’s Navy” got a new life a couple of weeks ago when the author of an upcoming book about the history of that show emailed me and asked about using the art on the book’s cover. I did not think a pencil sketch was appropriate for a book cover, so we settled on a price for use of the image and for me to add gray washes to the drawing so it had more of a finished look. This will be on the cover of a “McHale’s Navy” book coming out sometime later this year.

Love it! Is the wash digital or, the old fashioned way, by hand and using tools?
Digital. The sketch was pencil done on paper that would never be able to handle any washes.
