Clipboard Doodles

 I have a clipboard, equipped with a lot of paper for drawing anytime I want/drawing on the go. Actually, I used it when I did the Loony Tunes studies and practices that a posted previously.

I have been out and about lately but have had my clipboard with me a lot of the time and have been doodling away, so here are some of those doodles.

The Goofy Type

I did some studies.practices, and experimented with a goofy/stupid type (requirements stated in Preston Blair's advanced animation book)

There you have it. What do you think?

Cartooning Studies!

So I have done some Loony Tunes studies because I figured there is no better way to practice the craft than study/copy the best there is. I will post the original image I used, FOLLOWED by my drawing. Please let me know what you think.

Bugs Bunny Study

Wile E. Coyote Study

 I drew both of the images above on the same page.

Tweety and Sylvester Comic Study



Yosemite Sam



Ren and Stimpy Studies!!

I decided to do some more studies... In particularly, I wanted to work on making my drawings really cartoony and funny! So I copied some drawings from one of the cartooniest, funniest cartoons around, Ren and Stimpy! As you know, John K is one of my greatest inspirations, and influences.
Here are my results! What do you think?

This one is REALLY rough... and not the best... but it served it's purpose so I like it

 this is my favorite and I am really proud of it, and very pleased.

Overall I am very pleased with what I did! (=

Cartoon Studies #1: Hands & Memphis J Frog

Here are some studies I have done.

In the first, are drawings I did of hands to get the positions and whatnot. It worked out quite well

Introduction/background info

I said in my last post I would post a character I made about about 3 weeks ago. Here it is! I came up with this aftter watching a Mort Walker interview in which he saying how he came up with his characters, such as Beetle Bailey.

Here is what I came up with...

His name is Melvin, and his personality is loosely based on part of mine. Mainly humorous, weird, and very sarcastic.

I was going to post a comic/story I sketched out involving him, but I don't have time at the moment so I will as soon as possible
