Illustrating Music - The Beatles - Section A

 Orange Beatles: an extended version of the 'Beatles for Sale' Album cover, I felt like doing something Autumn-y to celebrate my favorite time of year. A2 Acrylic Paint.
Blue Beatles: A version of the 'Love me do' record cover in one of my Acrylic style. A5 Acrylic Paint.

Pepper Land: A combination of Heinz Edelmann's Yellow Submarine and Moebius's Arzak. I admit that I was listening to Lucy itswd while drawing this, but I didn't sat out to illustrate that song specifically, I just wanted to have a go at the styles. A3 Watercolor Paint. 
Monk-berry Moon Delight: This is sort of like the Illustrators equivalent of doing a cover song, I drew some of the lyrics and images that come to mind when listening to the song. I know Paul McCartney probably looked older and scruffier when he sang it on the RAM album, that's what people say, but this is the way I imagined it anyway. I got a few tips from Edelmann for this. A2 Watercolour Paint and Ink.

The Lost Franklin Expedition

Franklin's lost expedition  was a  British  voyage of  Arctic exploration  led by  Captain   Sir John Franklin  that departed from  England  in 1845 aboard two ships,  HMS  Erebus  and  HMS  Terror . A  Royal Navy  officer and experienced explorer, Franklin had served on three previous Arctic expeditions, the latter two as commanding officer. His fourth and last, undertaken when he was 59, was meant to traverse the last unnavigated section of the  Northwest Passage . After a few early fatalities, the two ships became icebound in  Victoria Strait  near  King William Island  in the  Canadian Arctic , in what is today the territory of  Nunavut . The entire expedition, comprising 129 men, including Franklin, was lost. I'm going to be drawing these unlucky Victorian sailors for a while now. Far from a Riddle The Terror is weaving between bergs and lilly-pads of ice as it enters deeper into the arctic labyrinth. From left to right this is Lt Edward Little, Mr Thomas Jop
