Elmer Fudd

Elmer's happy hunting wabbits with his trusty shotgun at his side.

Cornelius Cat

Here's the cat I created to go along with Biff Bulldog. (shown in an earlier post)

Filmore

Here's a drawing of Filmore from 'Cars'. It was a brilliant bit of voice casting to have the "hippie dippy weatherman", George Carlin, voice a hippie VW microbus.

Daffy Dragnet

This one is from the cartoon 'Rocket Squad' in which Daffy and Porky do a futuristic spoof of Dragnet. My favorite quote from the cartoon is, "My name's Monday. My partner's name is Tuesday. He always follows me."

Happy Father's Day

Sylvester is the only major Looney Tunes character that has a kid. Here's to all my fellow Fathers out there in cycberspace.

Old Fashioned Cartooning IV

An old time baseball player from 'How to draw cartoon animation'.

Old Fashioned Cartooning III

Here's my drawing of the classic cartoon tough guy, a bulldog named Biff.

Old Fashioned Cartooning II

My half-assed attempt at drawing a cartoony Heisman pose....at least the cleats look good.

Old Fashioned Cartooning

I received a Walter Foster book, as an Xmas gift, called "How to draw cartoon animation". It has a lot of useful info on drawing but the characters shown are very much from the 1930s style of animation. The image above is my take on the bear cub included in the book.

Droopy

In keeping with the Tex Avery theme, here's a drawing of one of his creations....Droopy.

Tex Avery

Tex Avery is one of the greatest animation directors of all time. He worked at several major studios (including Disney, Warner Bros, and MGM) and he's responsible for creating several famous cartoon characters. (including Daffy Duck and Droopy) While at MGM he did a series of cartoons featuring a black cat. These were among my favorite cartoons growing up. I'm not 100% sure but I believe this drawing is from the cartoon 'Ventriloquist Cat'.

Update - I double checked and this image is indeed from 'Ventriloquist Cat'

The Seven Dwarfs - Sneezy

The last of my Seven Dwarfs drawings...an appropriate one given that my allergies have been bugging me lately.

The Seven Dwarfs - Sleepy

The Seven Dwarfs - Happy

The Seven Dwarfs - Grumpy

The Seven Dwarfs - Dopey

The Seven Dwarfs - Doc

I'm posting these in alphabetical order not the chronological order they were drawn in.

The Seven Dwarfs - Bashful

I did a series of drawings of Walt Disney's Seven Dwarfs. At one point I thought I'd get them framed and give them as a gift for decorating a kids room. However it took me a couple of years to complete all seven drawings (as you'll see by the signatures) so that idea kind of died on the vine.

However, these did give me a chance (once again) to experiment with different coloring techniques. By the final drawing (Bashful shown above) I settled on chalk pastels.

School House Rock Part IV

Here's the last in my series of School House Rock drawings. This one is ALSO from 'Interjections!'. (what can I say, we all like that one)

School House Rock Part III

Here's the next drawing from School House Rock. This one is also from 'Interjections!'.

Calvin & Hobbes Comic

It took me a week but I finally found the 'Calvin & Hobbes' comic I mentioned in a previous post.
