I think I changed the face too much and seemed to lose some of the mischief in the original.

the toenails seemed to busy to me, so I tried it with claws

My analysis; Kaspar is beside himself with sheer delight - giddy with pleasure in partaking of his Spring ritual, and enjoying the satisfactory physical glee.

I don't feel confident with what I did with his right arm,
and the perspectives on his feet,
or the placement of his pupils.
the top of eye mask seems too crowded.
Is there enough negative space around the face? It's such a delicate balancing act.
And I Really didn't know what to do with his hands.
************************************************************

to me, this shot displays the moment he spots what he is looking for in the drawer. An excited Aha moment.

Probably not enough negative space between his toe and thumb.
And the eye doesn't seem quite alive enough...

I'm not sure about the expression or that the eyes wrap around the head properly. I also struggled coming up with an idea for the lumps on the back of his head

To me he seemed cautious and attentive while enjoying and savoring the sensation.

again, not sure if I accurately captured the moment in the expression. Going for a sense of wonder and mystery.

To see if anything sunk in during my month of doing Mickey construction lessons, I'm trying to just draw him from memory and see if they look alright.

same with the Daffy & Bugs

and Topcat & Popeye toys

First off, I apologize for the messiness, I had to make a... few adjustments. Next time I'll just start over.
And I still didn't leave enough negative space in his body.

major flaws I noticed:
Compacted the body. too thin and too short
leg too short
hands too flat
eyes don't wrap around head
foot angled too far back
eyes angled too far back

Not sure if the structure or the contrasts are there.
The angle of the head doesn't seem right.
forgot about face meat behind cheeks and eye-mask.
Face too crowded
The hands are really flat, again.

I made his cheek on the left to thin, and the cheek on the right to big. This would've worked better

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?!
