1k – The Dalek Invasion Of Earth
Wahay, the big grand-daddy of Doctor Who stories, at once an epic, cinematic story in the vein of war films and alien invasion stories, and also an intimate, theatrical character study. I love this one, so was happy to go a bit over-board, using a fair mix of media – there’s washes and watercolour pencils, dabs of acrylic, ink and pastel all contributing to this. It’s the Daleks’ story, it’s Susan’s story (I cry at the end, and I’m not ashamed!), hopefully there’s a tension in the composition that reflects this. And yes, I love Daleks but I hate drawing them, I’m constantly looking for short-cuts with all the repetitive hemispheres, etc…
