Cartooning


I've been drawing the past month, but I'm practicing some things that I don't feel comfortable showing anyone just yet. I feel uncomfortable drawing people. Perhaps because my art school didn't teach me human proportions.

I know, I'm shocked too. I only started feeling slightly comfortable drawing people after my supervisor decided I should teach it right after my graduation to my high school students. After consulting Jack Hamm's Drawing the Head and Figure and doing some practice, I felt better. Still not easy for me, but better.

All of the heads and bodies that I draw now look stiff. But I'm copying from the greats. I did some Calvin & Hobbes doodles and some Bloom County doodles, plus I'm copying some stuff from a guy that I saw on Drawn! I hope to post some images soon, until then here's an old drawing from August.
