Sad Sack and Roger Ramjet studies

I always have trouble finding new shapes for my drawings. Most of the time I fall in the sphere and pear shapes forms from the 40's so here I tried some Roger Ramjet and Sad Sack because they have another forms in his constructions.

I started with Sad Sack. He actually had a classic construction, an egg for head and a tube for neck. He had great contrasts in his face, like tiny eyes against big ears and nose. The eyes doesn't have the white part, they are lines.
Then I think, What would happen if the features were proportional?
Not much funny, isn't it? So, contrasts are very important in cartoons.

Then I tried some Roger Ramjet characters, these have another type of shapes in his mayor forms.


These are very funny to draw! I had a great time with it, that's something very important I think. In the bottom part, I tried new angles, I think the front came up pretty well, I tried to preserve the asymmetry, the organic and contrasts. I think I failed at the 3/4 angle.


There's some things that these designs have in common, like the great contrasts they have in his mayor forms, the great amount of space inside and outside, the placement of the feet (not in the center), the limited details.
