Donald Duck II

Two drawings I did a few months ago of Scrooge McDuck, on papier dessin à grain Clairefontaine 180 g (83 lb), with Joseph Gillott's Lithographic Pens 170 and 290, and a Pergamano Tracing Pen. The figure in the first one was drawn after Barks.


The background of the above drawing is, somewhat altered, done after a Doré engraving for Dante's Divine Comedy (Canto 7), the grand poem about heaven and hell he wrote to honor his love, but in which he, somehow, happened to spill lots of his talent detailly describing the tortures of people he did not like.
