I suppose you could have guessed who was next. My biggest mistake here was making his butt a bit too tall. It’s amazing how complicated even the early Disney characters were. I think I’d have a stroke if I tried to draw The Beast.

It’s about time I drew a goof besides myself. This time I approached it more like a Bargue drawing, measuring and correcting as I went (as you can see from all the half-erased lines). In fact, I think I’ll make these my replacement for Bargue drawings, since it gives you the same sort of practice (learning to see accurately), but you end up with a cartoon character instead of a boring piece of clip art.

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.
