Set Sketch : Ziggy

Ziggy
This is Ziggy, one of our local electricians. Like the caption says, he was coiling a stinger when I sketched him in action. Notice that he is using the approved Finkelstein method, leaning and coiling the cable in a clockwise direction. You can always spot a new guy in the electric department because they’ll try to wrap bandit, 4/0, even stingers (!!) in a counter-clockwise direction. Chumps. I’m pretty happy with the way this sketch turned out because I captured all the classic Ziggy elements with a minimum amount of linework; the earwig, the toolbelt, the T-shirt and his attentiveness to what’s happening on-set. I enjoy going through these old sketches because they sometimes help me remember people better than a photograph.
