More construction. I finally stopped toning down the line-of-action, but wouldn't ya know it- started toning down the basic shapes.

A few of these matched up perfectly though, which is a first. Ironically when I stopped measuring everything.

I still like that early Bugs profile, haha

And I started doing Topcat toy construction studies

More construction studies. It's amazing how much difference a little good ol' fashion common-sense and logic adds to your drawings.

I feel like I've had some minor breakthroughs, but still have a long ways to go.

Still shifting body parts into wrong places, toning down line-of-action. And getting feet in weird perspectives.

Who knew 20+ years of drawing feet flat & straight would be a hard habit to break?

More construction studies. Body parts still shifting around to wrong places, a Lot! Gotta stop toning down line-of-action, and start getting perspectives more accurate

These daffys and Bugs were all done by memory

I really like this Tex Avery Bugs profile

Construction studies. Concentrating more on balance, drafting, contrasts and intensity

still have a long ways to go

Wow, I guess I didn't need to make him so bug-eyed and zombie-ish. I've just been wanting to paint a baby cheetah for months now and finally got the chance. I love the long hair on the back of their necks and the way they chirp.

my 500th post on my birthday, how 'bout that?!

Here's a layout study from John K's blog. I wish I had scanned each step, starting with the basic shapes. But here is the end result

I think I crowded a lot of things up. Like the tree brances. And I made the characters too big. I took a lot of liberties with the running character as well.

Between projects I like to do intense construction & design studies. Here's some from this week. Starting with my all-time favorite character designs; George & Junioir by Irv Spence & crew (MGM)

and the lion, also by Irv.

Bullwinkle is a lot harder to get right than one would think!

More George & Junior

Bob McKimson was the man, that's all I can say...

ever-experimenting, some more approaches to drawing Jean. Cartoonier and more compact

and some very rough sketches of Jean from the upcoming Dorsevcartoon

I've spent the last two weeks painting Flash cels, which is incredibly mind-numbing. I feel like I haven't drawn in years. So, I figured what better way to get back on the wagon than by drawing the world’s ugliest dogs! I'll start you off easy.
This is Elvis

Munchkin. Kind of a mini, pubey Jabba the Hutt

Tatortot

Rascal.

Ellwood. Meets all the ugly dog criteria. No body hair, inability to control tongue and freaky eyes.

And finally Sam. I think he's part aye-aye, part Chupacabra and maybe part dog.

He doesn't even have pupils

Michael Jackson videos are great for cartoonists to study, because MJ is constantly in some in some sort of interesting pose, even when he's not dancing. Lots of unique lines-of-action. I like the Judo kick

Beat it and Billie-Jean were huge parts of my childhood. He will be missed.
