Another scrap of tracing paper 11.5 x 16 cm with a pencil drawing of a Vogon front on. Obviously a partner to the side view drawing already posted. The final photolith has these 2 side-by-side as they appeared in episode 1.
The way the graphic Vogons looked was developed by Rod Lord from pre-production photos of the prosthetics being prepared for live shooting. This pencil drawing would have been taped in position for the camera setup and traced with Rotring pen in black ink onto clear cell. This was then reversed by contacting onto photolith film in the darkroom for camera artwork to be back lit under the animation rostrum camera. These pieces of artwork were originally fixed onto paper layout keys or cells which in turn were taped to strips of 35mm film punched with peg registration holes. The aeons of time since they were created means that the sellotape or masking tape used to fix items in place for registration has long since dried up, become brittle, and separated.
