Hello everyone. Today I have a rough sketch I did a few weeks ago. I did this sketch in a little notepad, with lined paper so you will see the lines there, similar to the previous character sketches I've posted. It's an ongoing series you might say. It definitely helps me keep my sanity day to day, these drawings help me to feel like I'm still a creative person at heart.
Today we have a surly racoon. He is part of a gang of ruffians that must be dealt with. He's a loose part of a story I've been working on. It's a film noir inspired tale of a kid working on a mystery. I like his expression, and the way his skinny arms and legs come off of his body. That's one of my favorite things about cartoon drawing, you have a lot more freedom in how you do things. Please remember these are rough drawings, if they were for a book or something I would do a "final" draft.
If I was going to do a final version I would redraw the character's left foot, so that it is at a closer angle to his right foot. I feel like the right foot has more of a top down angle than the left does.
One of my favorite site gags is to make a very small necktie, or to have the tie curl up at the end. It's not an original idea, I know I saw it in a cartoon somewhere, but I could not tell you where now.
This rough drawing was done with a Bic Crystal ball point pen, on a lined notepad. I've been taking the color out of the drawings because of the whold film noir black and white concept. I hope you enjoyed this drawing and my comments on it. Feel free to leave a comment or send me a message. Thank you for stopping by, may God richly bless you.
