Gestures - and the first 8 pages of a book!
These are all doodles of people in the television-box, with the exception of the cat. I have Rita Hayworth, Orson Wells, Oprah, Groucho, Chico, Heidi Klum, 2 contestents from project Runway, a weird looke Tim Gunn, as well oddly rendered alec baldwins and the guy who plays Kenneth the page.
Harpo on the harp, and another gentleman from the movie I saw singing. I saw "Minding the Store" which was... alright, i think "A Night in Casablanca" was better, oh and the Rita Hayworth and Orson Welles was from "Lady From Shanghai" which was awesome, highly recommended.

And here it is. The first 8 pages of Walt Stanchfield's "Drawn to Life" read, print, and enjoy!

Day 3 - Really Getting It.
So I had the feeling that i was getting it, or getting a good grasp. So what I decided to do was think about what i've been learning and apply it to one of my characters. well 7 pages of drawings later I got it.
These are the first attmepts, we're very off but we have the right idea, the character also seems to be too fat compared to his body. I do however, like the way his shirt pops out of his sweater vest.
This one I narrowd his head a little, mostly what i tried to do was enlarge his eyes, maybe you can see the erase marks but i drew many differest shapes of eyes. Turns out that head might work if he were Asian. As you can see i did a 3/4 that i was very pleased with, that was diffenitly the look i was going for.
I expanded on the 3/4, trying to break it down, it took me a while to find out what shape his jaw was and how it wraps around his face so i attempt on the profiles, not really to any success they don't make very much sense. I made a small one of the front in the upper right, i somewhat pleased with it so i work off of that for the next page.
I exaggerate the jaw in the upper right, though it was interesting it wasn't what i was going for. On this page i'm just drawing the jaw bone in different ways and trying to understand the front. I really enjoy the full body with that funny smile on him! I had to do some erasing for uploading b/c he kind of reminded me of black-face cartoons.
I really like the front on the left here, at this point i think i almost have it, when i did a view of the front looking down i realized that i didn't.
This is the page where i understood what was happening to all my drawings. I was thinking in 2d forms as opposed to 3d shapes, The whole point of this is to make your characters appear 3 dimensional and i haven't been thinking in that mind-set. I felt very silly, to think that adjusting one line would help me better understand what i was doing. it was with this i was able to get the 3/4, profile, and front to look unified, and with only a couple tries instead of many pages worth.
Everything makes so much more sense now that i have tried to use it on my own drawings, this isn't finished though, he looks a little older than I originally planned, i need to plumpen up his face a little more and try and combine my failed attempts and this completed one.

Daffy's
I swear... I'm going to get into John K's Cartoon College if it means I never leave the house again!! Upon hearing the news I immediately read his postings and started making drawings of Daffy from Duck Amuck. It was pretty late at night so it was the only one i got done.
I have a Tex Avery Donald who snuck (Duck A'snuck! GET IT?!) into the bottom-right. He knows he's not supposed to be in there.
Alright, building up from shapes was pretty easy and I got a little over confident with the picture below. Daffy's head is WAY too low, and it ruins the silhouette, I really need to double if not triple check all the proportions before I venture too far into the drawing.
This is the last Daffy I drew, I can't remember who did this one I know it's not Jones, I don't think it's Avery, so I'm guessing Clampett?? Either way, I made a little boo-boo with the location of the arms, had to move them down, luckily I drew them lightly and noticed before I got too far in unlike the previous Daffy.
After doing these i realized that I really like Chuck Jones overall look as opposed to the others, I think it's because his lines are a little harsher and more angular as opposed to a more organic look that Avery and Clampett.
