......

I'm really trying to take my time, and feel out the forms within my own drawings. Here's some results..

I really love the proportions of the queen in the Coal Black stills.

The dreaded Porky Pig cover....

I stumbled upon this comic cover on John K's site a few months ago. At the time i thought to myself, "how hard could it be to copy this?" Here was my first few attempts.






As you can clearly see, i didn't even have the will power to actually finish the image. I believe i was in shock by my complete inability to draw porky pig. After dozens of terrible sketches, i tossed them into a drawer and forgot the incident ever happened. This cover has haunted me ever since.



Here's my most recent attempt after about five weeks of going through the basic construction exercises on John's site. I was surprised by how much more confident i was when breaking down the image, and feeling out the basic shapes.

Here's the overlay

My sketch looks like Monterey Jack from the Rescue Rangers. Ugh

Porky!

Pose practice. Not really on model, but i thought i'd post them anyways.

Here's my study of this custer crocodile panel.

studies from today

My gf asked me to draw donald proposing to daisy, so i gave it a shot.

Here's my study of this crazy Scribner still of Bugs.

John K mentioned in his blog, that bug's head shape is really tough to get right. He wasn't kidding. I did some studies, and tried to construct some heads from memory. Attaching his nose properly is the toughest for me, since it sort of wraps around the bottom of his face, instead of sticking straight out.

more practice

Jerry...


Some poses i came up with for Jerry..







totally missed the cuteness of the original proportions on daisy. She's really hard to get right....

Beaky construction studies....

more cleaned up version of the construction sketch...

Now excuse me, while i go faint from the HEAT.

More studies

Eisenberg comp....the dude could DRAW. Holy crap.


A Howie Post comp....


Some poses i tried out with donald. Upon scanning, his proportions seemed off.

This one doesn't match up too well to the orginal. Donald is way too big and the positioning of the box is off. :

Lastly, an inked sketch of Ranger Smith

Mickey and some birds...

I love this model sheet. So many beautiful drawings. I've attempted a few of the ducks at the bottom of the page.

Rough ducks and some cleanup.

Mickey studies.

My attempt at some "original" mickey poses.

...and John K's Donald Bastard

The proportions on this hen almost made me break my pencil in frustration. Grossly oversized tail feathers on my version....looks more like a peacock than a hen.

With the rooster, i had a tendency to flatten out the head when drawing it, so i really tried focusing on that area and feel out the forms.
