I like the top one (reproduced above) better.. it felt more dynamic, then again, maybe the other one has a more focused expression. Then again again, maybe I'm committing the cardinal sin of changing them arbitrarily.

I studied these Tom Oreb rabbits alongside Kaspar because they seemed to have a good balance of angles, relatively straighter lines, and curves, whilst still feeling organic. I find keeping my hand in studying something good helps me be less spazzy when I draw 'my own' things. I naturally tend toward abundant curves and waves, so I was just making an effort to be more balanced.

Hand probably not far apart enough, stretch not tense enough:

The arm probably could have been more solid and manly, and it's gone off the edge of the page too. (My scanner's not quite big enough for this animation paper)

I preferred the way the nose nestled in the central one of these: (By the way I work from right to left, I'm left handed, so often the worst and more primitive ones will be on the far right)

And I did find the arms on this one tricky to interpret

These were a bit poor, the middle one looks like a monkey, too symmetrical and boring. Also, the tug has become a bit slack:



Liberties taken, and failiure in the middle. Left one less even out, prob a step too wrong though:

And with bunnies:

I seem to be spreading him out and making him wider than he is tall. I guess this is me tending to slightly caricature his girth in an effort to avoid toning him down.

More shite, messy and doodly:

I did more perhaps too pointless to post.
I totally changed Kaspar in that first one. Whoops
ReplyDeletein the 'pure evil' one, I think I didn't quite get that he was poised to chomp, he looks already mid-chomp.
ReplyDeleteit is hard getting the balance of solidity and organicness in a character that isn't yours. Hence why we're here.
ReplyDeleteI love your line wore Chloe, very organic and natural!
ReplyDeletethanks Paul!
ReplyDeleteI mean WORK, line work, hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteHi Chloe
ReplyDeletetry to do one drawing per page, not a series of doodle
the idea of translating a sb doodle to a finished layout is just that
It's also not to completely change the drawing
There are a couple good ones in there, but with so many sketches it's hard to comment
