Still drawing willys

Yeay my first published graphic work (well first time in a book anyway). Much bigger news of course is that the first copies of the book have arrived. Congrats again to the Missus. Booyakasha!

I reckon my images would have been a fair bit different had I not read Tufte's classic Visual Display of Quantitative Information last year.Very worthwhile read.

  • I'd love to say that's a lovely graphic, but hey it's a scrotum and a penis!

  • what, does Tufte have a lot to say about the correct method of drawing cocks? ;)

  • Tufte says "Don't use yourself as a model when drawing willys - make it at least half the size so it's more realistic to the general populace."

  • Jaysus, I try to get a break from all that poking and prodding and self humiliation and I land here (via your missus' site) only to find more of the same on the top post!

    For what it's worth I'll (we'll rather) be picking up a copy of that book asap over here.

  • I'm glad I'm not the only one that was changed by that book. :)
    It was worth doing the masters just for it alone.

  • Hey Eman! Yeah that book has coloured pretty much everything I've done since. I also recommended it as a leaving present for a friend of a friend who was starting the course last year. Great piece of work.
