John wastes paper

I still intend to animate this plump little lady someday. A decade has gone by since I first thought of doing a parody of the "Sugarplumb Fairy" section of "Fantasia". I still think it is a good idea and could be quite amusing.

Two more tracing studies from photography. The one on the right is more successful, I think.

Was watching an old documentary on the Kennedy clan and all the old b&w photos got me to pick up a pencil and start doodling - mostly searching for the bigs shapes.

 There is a certain amount of skill in translating a photograph into a line drawing. But I'm not there yet.

  Close studies of line technique from a late 1960s comic book cover done by Neal Adams. Also, some line weight analysis from Stan Drakes "Hearts of Juliet Jones" daily strip from the late 1950s.
