Kaspar Layout Practice - 2

A re-do of an older pose.

Popeye Toy Turnarounds

Still need a little more practice, especially the spinach being to small in the first two.

More to come...

Howie Post - Composition Study

My studies of a Howie Post panel from John K's blog. Critiques and tips are welcome.

Preston Blair Elephant and Chipmunk

Here are some Preston Blair lessons I've done over the past week.

More Daffy/ Doodles

This is yet another set of "Draftee Daffy" studies. They have improved somewhat.

I've also included a bunch of doodles just to add something to this post. There are some things including my revived interest in Pokemon, and Daffy indicating the inspiration for the poses. My original character "Maggie" has returned as well, which you can see on my DeviantArt page.

I've also cut off the bottom of this piece, because it's part of a top-secret fanart I've been working on.

Both these works can be found at my Deviantart page as well.

Draftee Daffy Comparison

Well, since college, I'm back to be at the drawing board once more! :)

I went back to my personal cartoon lessons, and here's a study from Clampett's "Draftee Daffy."

The bottom drawing is an improvement over my first one, and there will be more.

George Liquor Puppet Sketches

These are some sketches of George Liquor (American) as a puppet, based on these great photos from John K's blog. (The original post)

I'm also thinking about cleaning up these sketches.

George Liquor was created by John K.

Bugs Bunny Cover - Finished

The finished drawing based on the comic cover. My drawing looks okay, but there's still some tweaking to do.

Andes Donald

Another one of John's lessons, I copied one of the comic book covers he posted. This of course is of Donald Duck from Barks's "Lost in the Andes!" Critiques are welcome.

Elmer Fudd Traced Construction

Hi folks. Here is some more of my Clampett/McKimson exercises. As I figured out my construction via tracing in my last post, surprisingly, John K. had described a similar, less complicated way on his blog.  He talked about tracing the construction in Photoshop and adding the details by eye. Of course, I only printed mine off the computer, but it's still the same thing. For now, I'll try this method to see where it takes me. I'll just have to remember to stop tracing after the construction's done. Critiques and tips are welcome.

My Final Falling Hare Drawing

After trial and error, I finally completed Bugs as close to the original as I could. I plan to do more cartoon poses in the future. Finally, I should say McKimson's a great artist. Though his stuff is elaborate, that's what's so great about it. Feel free to critique and/or comment on this drawing.

Additional Falling Hare strategies

Although I've gotten McKimson's "Falling Hare" pose quite accurate in my last post, I felt like trying out other techniques to help get the construction accurate. For both of these drawings, I traced off the original pose and made notes on how some parts flow or where two edges coincide on a two-dimensional plain (derived from one of Amir Avni's Falling Hare posts). That way, they'll help me when I draw the pose again from pure observation.

Falling Hare Bugs Practice #2

(side-by-side comparison)

My 2nd attempt at the "Falling Hare" pose. I personally felt I'm getting the direction of the ears, legs, and feet down pretty well; I still need more practice on the proportions.

(Notes)

After doing some Preston Blair lessons over at "Cartoon Fundamentals" (mostly of the eggheads) I decided to try out a full-body pose of Bugs Bunny. This great pose was originally done by Bob McKimson for Clampett's "Falling Hare." A few proportions in this first attempt didn't turn out too well, and it was hard trying to capture Bugs's subtleties. There will be more to come though. Critiques and tips are always welcome.
