The uncomfortable sound of fingernails on a chalkboard introduced us to Quint, the salty dog shark hunter and captain of the Orca in the movie Jaws. Wonderfully portrayed by Robert Shaw, his off-color limericks and monologue of the USS Indianapolis add much to the film's magic.
Just like Hooper, I drew his head first and then added a separate sketch of the body and props. For Quint I didn't do a lot of exaggerating but I did try to make him grumpy looking and weathered. He has sort of a tired/perpetually annoyed look in his eyes.
This one came together pretty easily and I am happy with the results. I had a few days there where I was getting in a groove that I have since fallen in and out of many times. Much like music, there are good and not so good days. This was a fun one to draw. A toast to Quint... Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women."
