Friends

Not very cartoony, but a drawing nonetheless. I didn't capture the humor of Snyder's expression very well. And made the top of his head way to skinny. Oops.

Here's the original, just for reference:

Adam Stiff - Squash and Stretch 3



Height proportions are great, width proportions suck balls. Oops. I'll fix it tomorrow. Gotta say, though, drawing a bunch of naked chicks makes drawing cartoons feel a lot easier.

More asses

This is wrong, and kinda sloppy:


This is better:


I should use bigger paper. Or draw smaller.

Dumps like a goddamn truck

This isn't quite what I had hoped for, but I thought I'd show it anyway:
The two figures in the foreground are closer to what I had envisioned. I've recently seen girls of exceptional proportions squeezing into jeans that don't quite fit, then tucking them into calf-length pointy high-heeled boots; and the contrast between the tiny points on the shoes and the massive rotundness of the ass makes me chuckle. Once I loosened up a little on these and actually started to exaggerate that difference, I got the figure in the lower right, which is almost funny. They're all perfectly vertically posed, though, which is a no-no. And over-worked.

Bare asses!


I'm finding the back more difficult to draw than the front, just because there are so few reference points on which to base proportions. The second drawing here is much better than the first (I wish I had rights to publish the originals to demonstrate, but I don't), so at least that's an improvement already. In the near future, I hope to learn enough through this to illustrate a very disturbing trend I've begun to notice in women's fashion.

Naked chicks!




I decided I should practice drawing some naked chicks, to learn basic proportions, posing, variability, etc. Plus I like boobs. I'm not gonna lie. So here's the first set, in which I focused on the frontparts of extra-skinny chicks. These are drawn from the "beauty of the day" section of domai.com, which is probably the best source on the internet for tasteful nudes...I've just never wanted to pay for it. Anyway, more to come -- maybe next time I'll do asses.
