DRAWINGS!

The others very recent (i.e. mostly from my current sketchbook and in my currently preferred black and white); the first from GCSE or A-levels (there's no label on the book I scanned the spread from and I've largely forgotten what I did when).




I don't know if I've mentioned it here before but I've recently been more seriously thinking about creating a more impressive-looking, portfolio Web site. Or rather, I have the idea that it will serve two purposes: to be a "best of" my work as a whole, which I expect will be mostly recent things, but also, in a more interior part of the site, a best of my school sketchbooks, which you'd be able to browse through by clicking. That is why I wish to ask of anyone reading this: does this size of image (the full size one gets after clicking them, not the previews embedded here) provide an appropriate level of detail for this size of page (which I think is A5, if that's what half of an A4 page is)? I don't really think it does, not for the first of the images here; 940 × 670 pixels seems more appropriate to me but that may only be because I've been using my computer with the display set to the maximum resolution. There is also the issue that some earlier sketchbooks are A4-sized, double the hight or width of these (depending on which way round I draw in them) and I think it would be appropriate to convey some idea of the difference in size between them (if not making them actually as much as double, as what I've drawn in them tends to be simpler) while still fitting on most people's monitors without the need for scrolling.
