Artist's Comments

Recently I feel I've made some improvement in my character designing skills, so I've decided to upload a simple picture of Samantha the fox and Paunce the Cat. I'm not 100% happy with this, but that's because I'm still experimenting. In future I'll probably try to make Sammy look slightly more feminine. She's meant to be abit of a tomboy, but I want her to be pretty as well. I'm more or less pleased with Paunce, but in future I'll probably be using more blacks because I want to give her an "inky" look." I'm thinking of giving her some Charles Burns-esque hair because I think pure blacks and whites on her hair will probably suit her better than just a dark shade of grey and some highlights. Constructive criticism and comments are welcome!

Wow! They both look great but samantha looks fantastic. I like her how she is, actually. Gives her a more dynamic personality. I think "pretty" suits paunce a bit more. But really really nice job on everything, the color looks nice too :)

Wow, its good to see you again on here, man. I have to say I'm highly impressed. You have improved mightily. I love the expression on Paunce's face. Prepare yourself for a creepy tide of furry fans, my friend. lol

My life is shattered; that doesn't matter
Nobody cares that I'm all better now.

Thanks for the kind words Alyssa, your encouragement helps to make the months I put into practicing to improve my artwork worthwhile. I probably couldn't do it without you.

You've really improved, the work has paid off!

Never stop working, though. If you got here from where you were (which wasn't bad by any means) in only a few months just imagine where you'll be in a year or two.

Makes me regret not sitting down and drawing cartoons every day this semester. My realistic still life drawing has dramatically improved from my classwork but not a whole lot else. Painting class should be more flexible next year so I won't have to put my heart and soul into drawing a teapot or a box for hours at a time :P

Really, all I've been doing is realism. I only draw cartoons when it's time to upload something. I do have a few books on cartooning and I do use them sometimes, but I find myself using the books on realism far more often. I find the better I get at drawing real things the better I get at drawing cartoons.
