Two Sketches
More in the AM, but just in case you stop by before I get back, here are my first two sketches, copied, but not traced, from pictures I found in a how-to book on cartooning. I'm not perfect, but I do like these a lot:
Scott, those are very good! I'm impressed. My, aren't you a well of creativity?
So your son is interested in drawing cartoons, that's cool. You may have a future Charles Schutlz(he's my fav) on your hands. Good luck with both of your endeavors.
Not too bad. I piddled (is that a word?) around with sketching when I was a kid, had a couple of books and even took some classes with pastel chalks. Now my hubby is the artsy one in the family.
All, thanks for the compliments. I used to draw when I was a kid, and haven't given it a serious thought since. I never thought I could draw anything even remotely similar to a real cartoon character, so I was a little surprised. It's all really simple if you follow the advice of drawing the basic shapes then fill in details.

Aww! Those are awesome!! Good job. I shall call you Da Vinci! Are you taking requests? :P
ReplyDeleteWell done! I'm assuming you had some drawing talent before picking up that book, right? I can barely draw a realistic stick figure.
ReplyDeleteI love them! You are a talented man!!
ReplyDeleteScogtt, these are great!
ReplyDeleteNever type and hold a cat in your lap at the same time (snicker)
ReplyDeleteMy son loves to learn how to draw comic book characters and I bought him a couple how-to books on it.
ReplyDeleteI specialize in fantasy and nature theme artwork. My fav medium is Prisma Color pencils and pastels, both pencil and chalk.

ReplyDeleteNice!! Cartooning is very different to other types of sketching I think?
ReplyDeleteThese are EXCELLENT! Why in hades haven't you pursued this, bud? You're a wonderful artist.

ReplyDeleteScott - don't be modest - it isn't simple. I've picked up those how to draw cartoon character books and it isn't that easy. I can't do it.
ReplyDeleteNot perfect, yeah, whatever. I can't even draw a decent stick figure!!! Most impressive, Sir Scott.
ReplyDeleteNice, Scott! You are one talented dude, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThat means something coming from such an accomplished artist as yourself Mr. Schprock. I loved your cartoon clown.
