TAKE THAT, SKULL! Bad Drawing #76!

Arlyn bought these little pot/egg things at Ikea the other day for 5 bucks. They fit together like those russian doll toys... the ones that fit one into the other... yeah those.

Anyways, she bought them saying "We can paint them like sugar skulls!".

So while at work yesterday, I kinda sketched out how that might look... and then for no other reason other than I love Ewoks, I drew an ewok poking it with a spear.

"Ewok Poking Skull"! Bad Drawing #76!!!

Another Ewok? Bad Drawing #75!!!!!

I have no idea why, but as I was editing away at work, I suddenly had this need, NEED, to draw an Ewok (even if poorly)


It was when I got to his feet that I realized, once again, that I don't know what to do with feet. Maybe I should start hiding them behind props like comic artist Rob Liefeld was known for...


Speaking of Liefeld, this is an awesome post someone did called "The 40 Worst Rob Liefeld Drawings" and it's pretty funny. If you were a comic nerd in the 90's, you know his art well. I even had posters on my wall of his work.

He did some really bad drawings, but fuckit, I still like him. He definitely had a style of his own! CLICK HERE!!

Drawing #12 - E-WALKING INDIANA - Attempt 1. Fail.

This did not turn out AT ALL like I wanted. I kind of killed it.


Looking back at the original sketch/doodle, I lost everything I had liked. The doodle had problems, but at least it was closer to how I saw it in my head.


This just looks stiff. Flat.

It reminds me of when when I was a kid and I would get a coloring book from a cartoon liked (like He-Man), and everything looked wonky and soul-less.


I'm gonna try this again though. I think I know what I did wrong.

And Sorry Indiana, I will try and capture your awesome-ness, without making you look like you've been taxidermied into a pose.

What I learned from this:

Maybe I should try to figure out my perspective first. Arlyn pointed out that Indiana wasn't walking right, so I had to fix (thus all the erasing). when you can't answer "Where's the horizon line?", You're doing it wrong.

I don't know how do draw fur. Especially in a somewhat Cartoony drawing.

I also don't know what style I'm going for.

This is all very frustrating.

Drawing #11 - "E-WALKING INDIANA" Rough Sketch

Get it? Like EWOK... E-WALK?

Okay so this is the rough I doodled at work while waiting for a render. It's based on Arlyn's suggested drawing "An Ewok walking a Shih-tzu.

I decided the Shih-tzu would be my own Shih-tzu, Indiana. It has been long said he looks like an Ewok, and Arlyn has even talked of making him a cowl.


Anyway, the sketch looks little awkward and may not read quite like I want.

An Ewok, walking, is kind of a pain to draw, cuz they walk like babies... They more hop, side to side, than walk.

Indiana is VERY rough in the drawing. When I clean this up, I will try to make the sketch look more like Indy, and less like an eight legged furry monster.

It was just very hard to figure how his legs should look in walking position.
