The Case of the Missing Hare: Construction


1st Level: BIG forms

First I made the line of action and then the larger shapes:
- The head
- Body
- Arms
- Hat
- Mallet
- Carrot
I think my line of action is wrong. The original line of action is pointing up and mine is down.
It's a simple composition but totally understandable: This guy is waiting for the rabbit to come out and hit him with the mallet.
The main objects are:
- magic hat
- guy
- mallet
The three objects are evenly spaced but nothing interferes between them, so the three are totally clear and readable.

2nd Level: Secondary forms

Then I divided the big forms in sub forms, like the turban, divided in the sub forms that contain each of the strips that do the cap.
The mallet was difficult to do, it's not like most of the mallets that we see in other cartoons, this have rings in it.
I tried to put the features in the face trying to equal the negative space around them.

3rd Level: Details

Then I added the details like:
- Pupils
- Wrinkles
- button
- the strips in the turbant
- etc..

The Mallet is horrible, I've made them in a wrong angles and from there everything else stayed badly.

Check

- Again, my line of action is wrong
- the guy in my drawing is too on top of the hat.
- The mallet is awfully BAD!
- The curve of his body is from the other side. Up, not down.
