Back Tubs

Update:still crappy

Normally I wouldn't even bother posting something like this, because it's complete and utter horse shit. But I'll try again later.

more yogi layout copies





I saw all of those pictures from this post, and I got all bummed that I didn't draw that good. So I started copying some, since that's how I learn best I think. This is only a couple but I plan to do a few more. I was wondering what the tree behind the police man was for, but then I figured it must be to unify him with the billboard. I really like that comic panel, how the speed limit sign points to the cop and everything.

Slab

I've decided to start knowing the characters and how to draw them before making the layouts. These are some Slab's.






Now Im gonna try some ernies and donalds.

Yogi Toy

"learning how to walk before run"... as Kali said :)

I am going back to copies and construction exercises for a while before practice the layouts again.

The eyes are too big and the hat looks like a deformed popcorn.

I will post more exercises soon.

abraço,

running too fast

Maybe I first need to learn how to walk before running. I'm feeling that I'm struggling with the construction of Slab & Ernie. I will train that first, before going further with layout.

Thanks for all the feedback.


^this is my latest attempt. I find it hard to fit the character right into the background. Maybe drawing toys is a good way for me to improve, like Kali is doing. But I only have photo's, but even only with photo's it's a good exercise right?

Oyeah btw merry christmas everyone ;)

layouts

^I tried a digital layout. Having layers is really handy. But I think that drawing for real always is better.

^My last version. Do you mean like this John?

More Layouts

Hi everybody,

it is good to see your drawings.

I have made more studies.

I think I am getting more used to the model of the characters.. and also tried not to tone down too much the expressions and poses.

I will try to translate the emotional statement that I made for these drawings... actually I have a problem of vocabulary when I try to make the emotional statements in English... I can explain their expressions much better in Portuguese.

abraço,

davi
