Starting to post some of the research & development behind my comic concept which is a fiction featuring a little history of the whaling industry in Scotland. Here's some observational sketches to try to capture the general shape and movements of whales... I've been watching the show Ocean Giants to get inspiration, visiting the Discovery ship in Dundee and also the McManus museum... I want the reader to sympathise with the whale as well as the main human characters...

I'm no writer, which is one of the challenges of this whole project. I can easily come up with a starting idea but constructing a story is difficult!
