Gator girl


I've been working on character designs for my short film called "Freedom Train". This is the only daughter of the Quaker gator family that helps the slave dog family across the Underground Railroad. She been naughty and getting chewed out by Dad.

Toby Shelton's Toothless


Please check out Toby Shelton's blog. He has such great drawings and instruction for those of us learning the craft. Thank you so much Toby. Here's my attempt at some of his drawings from early versions of toothless. I really like his rendition.

The Kiss


I screen captured this scene from Disney's "Brave Little Tailor". I believe Fred Moore drew this. It was a joy to put together. Fred rocks!

Screwy Rabbit

I saw a CGI clip of Roger Rabbit on Cartoon Brew that got me thinking of the original movie. I found this great take from the scene where Roger drinks some liquor. The bent up ears were so enjoyable to draw. I love cartoons.

A friend of mine draws dragons alot and I did a version of one of his characters called "Cookie". I'm trying to work on straights against curves.

Jungle Book Girl

I found this great Jungle Book model sheet of "The Girl" at Animation Archive. Check it out here. I decided to try drawing a headshot of one of the poses. The softness of the face and wistful look had me erasing and erasing to try to get it right.

Bee Boppin'

This little bee was fun to draw. I found him on an unreleased short from Disney called "Plight Of The Bumble Bee". Since I'm a big Fred Moore fan, this was quite a find. Here he is bouncing up and down on his stinger buzzing away to some Bebop.
