Brian Andrew Beck, hand-drawn

Barry wavy Argent and Azure; on a chief wavy Murrey, three sea-lions sejant-erect in fess Or.

G0144, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant of the coat of arms of Brian Andrew Beck, USA. The photograph shows my hand-drawn study of the sea-lion sejant-erect. The visible drawing corresponds to the final version, while a first earlier version can be seen beneath it through the translucent paper. This reflects my usual working method: I draw directly in ink, without a preliminary pencil sketch, using long continuous strokes and lifting the pen as little as possible. I work on successive sheets of tracing paper, one laid over another, refining the drawing from one version to the next until I reach a result that satisfies me. The first attempt is rarely successful; the stronger drawings usually emerge in the second or third version, sometimes the fourth, and occasionally after more iterations.

Blazon keywords: Argent, Azure, Murrey, Or, Three, Barry, Wavy, Chief, Sea-lion, Sejant-erect and In fess.
