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.

This one is great! Very supple and Matissey. And the figure is perfectly proportioned.
wonderfully simple, wonderfully effective. i dream of drawing figures so beautifully.
Thanks to both of you.
I feel like I cheated a little, so it's hard for me to accept the compliment.
Don't sweat it. The students won't be grading you. They'll be hoping for you to help them.
