The first thing I noticed between his image and yours is where his eyes seem to be pointing. In yours he's glancing towards the bee, and in Johns it looks almost like Kaspar is looking at the viewer. For whatever reason, that seems to create a completely different feeling for me - the smallest changes have the biggest impacts, sometimes :)
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.
