Less than I'd like!! Ideally I'd spend 2-3 hours a day studying, but because this is my last semester of getting-a-piece-of-paper school, and I work part-time, it ends up being about an hour a day on a normal school-day. I'm embarrassed that it isn't more. I'm doing my best to change it back to what I used to be able to do!
I do compare my originals in Photoshop. What I like to do is do the most basic of the construction and compare that in Photoshop before I start going into more detail. That way I don't spend lots of time on a study that has really big basic errors. Usually I compare again once I have the details down, but I didn't in this one because-- oh, jeeze, I've gotta get to bed!! Good night.
This blog is devoted to STUDIES of the traditional cartoon. Most ideas on here are not mine (characters, poses, etc.)-- this is a blog about learning new things about classic cartooning. While I am proud of my work posted here, I can't take credit for the ideas.
I owe a lot to my mentor, John K. He is a great teacher, and many of these studies also use his drawings as a starting point.
I think you did a great job. I'm very impressed with all of your drawings. How much time do you devote to study's?
ReplyDeletealso do you ever compare your study's to the originals in photoshop?
