Preston Blair Lesson 1

I was invited to study Cartoon Fundamentals here on Blogger :

( http://cartoonfundamentals.blogspot.com/ )

We're munching through the Preston Blair book, here's my first attempt at the first 'lesson' on the blog, much more to come!


I think the last one's the best and final attempt but the jawline could be raised, what do you think?

Sody Bob?

Gosh i'm in love with Spumco's 'Sody Pop' layouts, i just had to give it a crack!

I'd love some good old fashioned crit guys, if you'd be so kind.

First Time George

More hoboes is what the world needs!

Knocked this out with some spare time on my hands, i love these guys and i think drawing their mouths is the funnest things ever! So many curves, must have more..

Cartoon Backgrounds

Hello everyBAADy,

Here are some backgrounds i did last year for a 2D animated PSA. Hope ya'al like it.This is actually for the last scene, its a mad run towards the horizon.This one's for the door opening scene, the husband arrives home and announces the classic.. HONEY.. I'm HOME!
This is the 'puppy rush the daddy' shot. Imagine the wife over an ironing board on the right. Look at the cute puppy in the frame.. oh dear! I had a great time making these and they are the first cartoon backgrounds i've ever attempted, i think i've learned a fair bit since then.. now all i need is a project to hone them..

I had some extra juice left over today so i knocked out some quick sketches of Ren, i gotta say he's really hard to grasp. I account this fact to the shear amount of stretching and squashing he can do. I'm trying to remember to keep him expressive. The last drawing is my own pose, perhaps its to clique? I dunno, but i do know I need to practise him more before i pretend to know what he's made of.

Irving away

Been planning to upload this guy for a while now, i dunno if this obeys ALL the rules.

If i could change or crit myself i'd say the silhouette isn't as strong as it could be, also i fear he's somewhat slimmer in the Tex Avery toons. I also think my feet and hands need work, but wow did i enjoy doing this, especially the colors i love them, nice and toned down, soft even.

Feel free to crit some more guys, i'm here to share and learn! :D
