St. Pauli is is a region in Hamburg, Germany that includes the city's red light district. This sketchbook by Wilhelm M. Busch was published in 1987, the last year of his life, but I don't know exactly when these drawings were made. In any case, Busch's masterful draughtsmanship comes through in every sketch featuring a dicey subject matter.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing as always!

Fantastic work! Such a great line, so fluid and elegant.

Was he a trained painter? In some of these it looks like he's indicating edges where there would be core shadows.
ReplyDeleteThe more heavily-worked drawings remind me of Bill Plympton a bit, very cool!
