Can you draw? - want a job of sorts?

Post: # 32830Post Andy Hamilton »

We are currently working on a book proposal and have come across a bit of a stumbling block. Neither of us are that great at art and we need to have some diagrams in the proposal.

Now these might not get in the final book, in fact we could still get rejected and there might not be a final book. But if the diagrams are of good quality then I am sure that we can at least try and convince the publisher to keep said diagram drawer. So could be a good oportunity if any one wants it.

What kind of style? For a selfsufficientish book, "back of a fag packet" sketches might have the right ambience! How about scanning in a sample of what you've done and posting it here and then people can have at it?

What I have done is worse than bad and would not give the right impression really. Back of fag packet would be ok but I was thinking bit better than back of fag packet really as this is for the proposal and we don't want to put publishers off.

Maaate!

My brother is pretty good at this stuff (see the drawing for the sheet metal bender) but I don't know if he would be interested. How many do you want? of what sort of stuff? Is this a paying proposition?

I know that these are the sort of questions he would ask!

He lives on the NSW north coast and can be a bit difficult to contact but I will give it a go. Feel free to PM me with the details if you want. :mrgreen:

I'm a graphic designer, so can do that kind of thing if you need a hand (with the drawing or the design)
