I thought I’d take another crack at drawing characters from old animation model sheets, starting with the deceptively simple Mickey Mouse.

Overlaying my drawing (in green) over the model sheet shows my eyes still need some training.

I think I’ll don this headwear sometime soon. Either next weekend in California, or Tuesday at work.

Haven’t posted any naked people in a while. I felt like I was sort of stagnant over the past few classes, but today I was somehow able to loosen up a bit, probably because today’s class was nothing but short drawings. I think these ones were all 2 minute poses.

Tons of sketches tonight, but none that I really wanted to share. But to keep up with my quota, here’s an example of me trying to inject some movement into a cartoon character.

“Drawing as an Afterthought” week continues! I wondered what it might look like if I did a little brush pen sketch of Tata, freehand–no pencil, and no do-overs. Well, not too great, but I kind of like this style and will definitely be trying it again.
