The above drawing of Cloudbase from the 1967 Captain Scarlet annual was done by artist Keith Watson.
This exploded view of Cloudbase was in that same annual. It is uncredited but I'm wondering whether or not it was Keith again, as a similar view can be seen in the 1967 Century 21 Make a Model of Cloudbase booklet, which, coincidently is exclusively illustrated by Keith Watson.
Anyone know for sure?
And here, Cloudbase done by Eric Eden,which I have to admit does lend support to Andy's theory.
I did a but of photo manipulation on the black and white one. I'm pretty much certain they are the same drawing; just with a blue wash negative.
ReplyDeleteI agree Bill. I wonder who the artist was? Without any giveaway reference I'm just guessing at Keith Watson. I do have an example of a cutaway he did for Vauxhall but that shows the driver and his family which easily identifies Keith's style.
DeleteI would guess it's by another ex-Dan Dare artist, Eric Eden.
ReplyDeleteIt might be Andy,We know he did others for City Magazines but this seems slightly different to his other cutaways.
DeleteDuring much of Keith Watson's time on Dan Dare Eric Eden provided the airbrushed colour (Keith himself was colour blind)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Phil. It's odd to think that Keith was colour blind considering his lovely colour spreads. I found out about it through a chat with Don Harley at an Eagle bash in Southport. I wonder if anyone helped Keith out on the Vauxhall Cavalier ads?
