I just got the Chris Sanders Sketchbook that he was selling at the San Diego Comic con. It's nice to have sitting around for a week or so as I'm snowed under with work. I pick it up from time to time and get a inspired. The other day, I did what I wish I did more often, I did a little 'warm up' sketch. A lot of these great comic artists seem to have time for 'warm up' sketches before they start their busy day. I do that and I feel guilty somehow. I guess that's the difference between being the business owner and working for a big company with deep pockets. :) Anyway, Chris is very talented and an interesting person. In my opinion, he's a genius when it comes to story. I'm not always sure they are stories that the average person will want, but they are always well crafted and slightly skewed. I don't mean that in a a mean way, it's just his viewpoint is different from most because of what he likes and doesn't like. 'Course, that's all of us isn't it?
I enjoy analyzing peoples styles and drawing techniques. That's what this sheet is. Just fun.

When I draw little kids, they almost always have a little bit of Lilo in them, most the arms and legs, with the pudgy joints.
I love that style, I should do it more...
Oh yeah, good work, Tom. Nice sketch. :)

Very nice Tom, I picked up Sanders little book at the con as well, very cool stuff.
I never get to go to the cons with the GOOD stuff! That said, excellent sketches... it certainly has the feel of Sanders' work, which I love. It so tremendously organic and lively.
She's so cute! Warming up is a good thing - just wish there was more time for it ^_^
