Dictionary sketches

In an effort to generate some kind of creative impulse, I've taken to choosing words from the Concise Oxford English Dictionary at random, sketching whatever comes into my head, then going back to the OED and checking the definition to see how close I came. Here's the first two...

 

"JAGER: Var. of JAEGER:German or Austrian rifleman; kind of woollen clothing-material excluding all vegetable fibres as unwholesome; garment of this".

 

"RETROGRESSION: backward or reversed movement; return to less advanced state, reversal of development, decline, deterioration".
