Circadian Contraptions Day 158
Can you tell I love cartoons yet? Here’s another one, to partner yesterdays cow. The quality i think is a bit lower, but you can still recognize the very iconic characteristics I think.

When drawing cartoon style characters I have a habit of “sketching” every line. With this I mean that I draw a tiny bit of the line, and go back and forth over it applying little pressure to expand on it. I’ve been told that this is a bad habit and its better to make broader, … Continue reading

What is Abbot without Costello? What is Tom without Jerry? What is Laurel without Hardy? Not half as fun as they are together I say. Hence my contraption of today, Dexters counterpart, Deedee!

Back to the old drawing board again. Kind of a fitting remark to go with this little boy genius. Turned out pretty much exactly as planned.

I’ve made 2 … Continue reading

As I’ve shown last week I need to work on eyes. Not so much the quality of the eyes, but just to make a matching set. Today I’ve worked on that a bit. I’ve tried some eyes of different shapes and levels of detail, from rather complex to pretty darn simplistic. Just by putting down … Continue reading
