This
time I would like to ask for some assistance of those of my readers who have a sharp eye for recognising artists’ styles. Any suggestions as to who may have
drawn the 6 pages shown below? Thanks!
Whoever it is, aside from the first drawing, he's certainly attempting to emulate Ken's style as far as the detailing goes. That second drawing looks very much like Ken's work, though there's something about the arms which gives me cause for doubt. As for the rest, wouldn't like to even hazard a guess.
I tend to believe they were all drawn by the same artist who spent considerably less time on some, the first one in particular. I have my suspicions as to who he was but I am curious to hear what other people think :)
Some might be by Robert Nixon. The Hot Water Bottle one certainly looks like his. I'm wondering if others might by by Colin Wyatt, who was on the staff at IPC at the time and had a very versatile style.

DeleteI say it was Ian Knox
DeleteWasn't it a bit early for Ian Knox?
DeleteRobert Nixon?
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought too :) I wonder if there are others who would agree?
Deletethe last two look like Robert Nixon.
DeleteI detect definite traces of Nixon is some, but not all of them. Still not 100% sure though.
