Chris Sanders-ish
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteShe's so cute! Warming up is a good thing - just wish there was more time for it ^_^
