Drawing by Jean “Moebius” Giraud
From the GeekDraw article marking his passing. (See also my post: Jean Giraud (Moebius) 1938-2012).
I don’t know if this has a title, many Moebius drawings do not. I think this one is old enough that it was done with ink and watercolor, rather than digital.
One of the things that consistently amazes me about Moebius, beside his astonishingly fertile imagination, is the remarkable effects he achieves with areas of relatively flat color and subtle gradations. Yes there are hints of modeling here, but only hints — gentle suggestions that let your mind fill in the rest.
Just wonderful.
