Pooryorik's cartoons etc...

Thanks DIEMERAS.

Yesterday I checked out "Human Anatomy for Artists" (Eliot Goldfinger) from the library, and I've been drawing like mad. I only have fifteen days before the book's due back again! Here's what I came up with tonight.

(Note: The last sketch is incomplete, of course. It was an experiment in proportions.)

Hello hello hello,

Here's the sketches for this week.

Sketch#1:
In continuing with my attempts at life drawing, I drew sketched this guy. He was standing in the Sam's Club checkout line, Ozzie shades, tie-dye shirt and everything. Sitar music, anyone?

Sketch #2:
Obviously not life-drawing, what the heck. Actually, life drawing is helping me to "think below the surface" more when I'm cartooning. It's becoming easier to imagine bone structure, muscles, etc...

Sketch #3:
Here's a character I was working on last night. He's some kind of prehistoric bird--though he could be a roadrunner if I changed his default posture. Again, bone structure plays a major part here.

Some more sketches of this little guy are displayed below.

More next week,
Pooryorik

Hello again! It's been a while... So here's another character sketch. I've been developing this character for about 3 days now:

More later!

Thanks Scoob.

Here's more life drawing stuff. My girl heads tend to look like guy heads with long hair--but today I finally drew a girl head that actually looks like a girl head! A GIRL HEAD!

So I slapped a body and wings on her, and voila :D

Thanks, Thunderobot!

Here's the latest sketch: an experiment in perspective drawing. Yes, I know horses don't have cloven hooves, but this is a pegasus . And besides, it could be a donkey crossbreed :confused: .

Aiyah! My poor, neglected daily sketch thread! :eek: :eek: :eek:

That's life, I guess. Here's a couple of sketches I knocked off before going to bed. I'm trying to improve my life drawing skills, but somehow my sketches always come out looking somewhat cartoonish. One of these days I'll figure it out. If you have any suggestions, shoot! I need all the help I can get...

Here's some sketches for a character I'm working on. I appologize for the poor quality of the pictures--our scanner's been acting funky lately.

BTW, this character is appearing in a shortfilm I'm working on called "The New Kid." Here's a link to that thread if anyone's interested:

And sorry for double posting in one night :)
