Billy Boy

Tex Avery did so many great cartoons. I've been watching a few and came across one called "Billy Boy". I always end up freezing a few shots to look at the animation. I stopped while the little billy goat dipped his head down and gave this cute look as if to ask..."Would you please let me in?". I haven't drawn too many cute drawings...so I gave it a shot. Cuteness is a very defined look and this was a great exercise.

Back from Michigan

Went to see family in Michigan and haven't posted any new drawings. While I was on the plane I did a couple Preston Blair models. The wolf was fun and I tried to keep some of my construction lines visible with the fox.

Mice And Men

Here's an article that was given to me a while back. It's great to see where Disney animation was at that time.

Tom Throwing

I finally got a drawing tablet for the computer. It is called a "Bamboo" by Wacom. It is such a new experience drawing with it. I know the more I use it, the better I will get. This is my starting drawing so be kind. I was constructing like mad to get this together. Learning to draw correctly is going to be hard work and take lots of time. So I want to start right.

Drawing #13 - Mad Daffy

I was watching "Duck Amuck" today and studied different parts of the animation frame by frame. The timing and expressions are priceless. I found my favorite mad face (and there were many!) and drew it.

Drawing #12 - Rabbit's Joy

I really enjoyed drawing this one, though it took a while to get the construction correct. This is a shot I found watching "Winnie The Pooh And Tigger Too!". Rabbit ditches Tigger and comes up with this great smile. Don Bluth animated Rabbit and it shows. Lots of great emotion in every frame. Love it!

Drawing #11 - Preston's dog

It sure is nice to draw on a real pad rather than on printer paper. Here's Preston Blair's dog. Worked hard on constructing this one right. Took a while, but it was fun. He's a happy guy!
