If Janes read this, I would really like to ask him how much time it takes to draw an illustrations like that. Well, it all depends, but still I am curious... since it is not a paid project it must be pretty hard to make yourself stick to the schedule and work every single day thinking out a new pirate!

I usually work on several pictures at once, but added together I'd say it can take up to 3 days for the more complex images.
I am fresh out of school and this is a nice project to work on while I look for a proper job in animation, since I am lucky enough to be currently living somewhere where I can stay rent-free.

James, thanks a lot for registering and replying to the question. I do follow your project with interest. And I really wish you good luck and lots of inspiration. I really hope to see all the 100 pirates in 100 days. (by the way, where's the one for today?

James, thanks a lot! As I've already said, I am following the development of your project with great interest. This weekend you got me scared though - I thought you stopped it. And it was quite a relief to hear that it was just a problem with your scanner. Please, keep us updated!

Here is another one! Sorry I haven't posted much on here, but I'm still doing regular updates on my blog (harveyjames.livejournal.com).
Thankyou! I am still learning myself, but as far as drawing goes, the best advice I can give is to try and have a basic grasp of human anatomy. Life drawing classes and Burne Hogarth's 'Dynamic Figure Drawing' book will help you there.
Also, if you have a lightbox, flipping your drawing over and looking at it from the other side will reveal flaws you hadn't noticed before, so it's good to do that a few times throughout the creation of an image. I sort of draw on both sides equally, and then trace them both onto a clean-up layer when I'm done.
wow!!!very good illustration...can you teach some of the basics?...please...
