Chloe Kaspar Kalamities

Many doodles and drawings have gone down, some better than others.





arm

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.

  2. in the 'pure evil' one, I think I didn't quite get that he was poised to chomp, he looks already mid-chomp.

  3. it is hard getting the balance of solidity and organicness in a character that isn't yours. Hence why we're here.

  6. Hi Chloe

    try 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
