HEY LOOK!!: Kurtzman composition study.

Analysis:
- The focus on the picture is the guy in the rock on the right side. Putting the focus on the right side makes the picture less monotonous that if you put the focus in the center.
- There's a wide open sky that leaves enogh space for the reading of elements.
- The general shape of the mountain flow through the guy, it also the arrangement of the trees.
- The big rock also has a inclination through the guy. Everything points to the main focus.
- The big pine on the left creates a great contrast with the little fellow on the right.

I feel a little rusty, this doesn't feel rich enough. Looking forward to getting Painter 11, I think it might help my work.

Eisenberg Composition Study: Yogi panel

Sorry for the lack of posts in this last time, I've been very busy, but always drawing. I returned to start my studies, here's one recent study from a comic drawn by Harvey Eisenberg.



Let me know what do you think.
Bye!

caricature of a friend

This is my first attempt. It's really stiff and not so cartoony. I'm gonna give it another try.

Eager Beaver: Composition Study.

Observations:

- Why this BG is well balanced?

- The big tree contrasts with the small tree behind, also cuts the image leaving the area more focused to the action
¿it's really a very necessary element?

- The ground is curved. It leaves more space in the area of action. (I'm ok?)

- The white tree is curved to the little brown tree. ¿it's there to break with the vertical elements? Also creates a contrast with the little brown tree. It also participates in the frame for the characters.

- Is there any point for the red bush?

- The big white cloud at the right side (with the white curved tree) creates a frame for the character. Is there any reason to be so big and takes up so much space?

- There's a little white cloud curved towards the character. Maybe it's there to guide the eye to the action.

If I had to do this scene, I would have removed the white tree and make the big white cloud smaller, that would leave more space to the action.

Clara Bow Caricature

After this first attempt, I made a comparision to see better the mistakes:



2nd Attempt:

tomorrow I will post the observations.

Contrasts: Irv Spence Mouse

UPDATE: I don't know if the feet and arms are good now. This same thing happened to me months ago with the bulldog caricature exercise .
I think I missed the funny factor here and the nose seems to be bad conected.

UPDATE:


Better?

Verbal Analysis:
-BIG head compared with little body.
-Little nose compared with the head.
-Little arms and legs.
- Little ears.

Here's my first attempt. What do you think?
