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! (=

Introduction





I am a 17 year old aspiring artist & cartoonist. I have been practicing the art of cartooning ever since I can remember. When I was a very little kid, naturally I loved watching cartoons. I guess it started when I was about 4-5 years old and absolutely love cartoons, I then decided I want to make them one day. I have also had a love for drawing in general. Given these two aspects, I have persued nd practiced the art of cartooning ever since that day.
Influences/Inspiration
My influences are generally from old school cartoons. There is nothing better. I love the style, the cartooniness of it all, and it is just plain funny. Therefore a lot of my influences come from cartoons ranging from the 1930s-1970s.
Above is one of my favorite dvd box sets which includes cartoons such as Popeye, betty Boop, Casper, The Three stooges, Woody Woodpecker, Little Lulu, and many more.
Random Drawings
To complete the introduction, I think a quick sample of some of my work would be appropriate. So here are some random things I've done.
some doodles
some more cartoon doodles
Let's end with some realism. A charcoal drawing I did.
