Go Farther Than The Original By Enlisting Your Mind

1) Feel Before You Copy - analyze the emotional statement: What is the drawing telling us? What's the point of it?

2) Think before copying. Analyze what visually is making the emotional statement. What principles are being used?

3) Now Draw.
First Line of Action.
Then check line of action -is it as strong as the original, or have you toned it down already?

4) Construction.
Block in the construction following the line of action. Check it before going to the next step! Did you tone it down? Did you make it lumpy and less direct? If so where? Write it down and then fix it.

5) Proportions and contrasts. Analyze the contrasts. Then draw them. THEN CHECK THEM. Did you tone them down? So far everyone has every time.

6) Negative shapes: Both outside the form, and within the form. Are they disappearing in your copy? Getting smaller? Less distinct?
Fix them.

7) Stop. Don't add final details like fur and stuff. Make a solidly constructed cartoony copy that retains the guts of the original.

We can worry about fur and clean lines later.

8) JUDGE THE APPEAL AND GUTS - Now stare at your copy and at the original. Flick your eye back and forth between the 2 drawings and watch it change. Is the copy as strong and funny? As appealing? Does the statement come across as well? If not, then go back and analyze what is toning the drawing down.
