Feb 3rd: Pen Cartooning

I had no time this Thursday. It was just a crazy busy day. So I didn't have a chance to try anything new or learn a new technique. Instead I found a book on cartooning and drew from it. I like cartoons because even if you don't get the faces perfect, it doesn't really matter. Cartoons are simple. I can draw them from a book, but my ability to create them from memory is harder. The cartoons that I draw myself are passable; nothing that would be in a comic book. The Sunday funnies sure. One of my all time favorite comic artists is Todd McFarlane. He does the "Spawn" series. The artwork is so intricate! It would take me weeks to draw what he probably does in hours. He's pretty amazing.

Anyways, my random cartoon drawings are all of old men... a subject that I probably never draw unless I'm paid to. These were done in purple archival ink. I couldn't tell you what kind of pen I was using because it's from Germany. Awesome anyway.
