Another horse attempt! Bad Drawing #42!

I took another attempt a horse, same pose, with reference.

Old Version:


New version:


Not quite as awesome as I saw it in my head. Mostly because in my head I'm not super lazy.

I lost interest in this drawing about the time I finished drawing the nostril. Horses just aren't my thing.

Probably why I hated working on Spirit so much.

Anyways, Christmas is tomorrow, and that means that I can finally post some drawings that were done as "gifts".

Seeyas next week.

Merry Christmas.

A.... Horse? Bad Drawing #41!!!

6...7 (?) years ago I worked on Dreamworks Animation's "Spirit: Stallion of the Cinnaron" as an assistant animator. For a year straight I drew that damn horse in every position imaginable.

That sounds perverted.

Anyways, last night Arlyn, Mika and I went to Montana's with my parents for my mother's birthday. As is always the case at Montana's, we had a paper table cloth and crayons to draw with.

I decided to draw a horse.


I have no idea what happened. I assumed I could remember what a horse looked like, how its head is structured, but as I put crayon to tablecloth, I drew a blank.

Even as I lied to myself and told myself "Self, that's gotta be sorta close..." I knew it was bad - nay, Terrible. (ha... "nay")

I looked up Spirit when I got home.


Ouch.

Well whatever. I'm not a 14 year old girl! I'm not just supposed to know what a horse looks like.

I'll do better.

Drawing #2 and #3

So this Second drawing was done at Montana's restaurant in Langley.


They have table cloths that can be drawn on with crayons, and I decided to use this opportunity to draw my father as a train.

My Father

This one definitely falls under the "Bad Drawing" category, if just for the colossal fuck up of train anatomy.

For example, I have NO idea what's going on below the boiler... and where the bumpers are attached to. Drawing in crayon is no excuse (though it made it harder... really... no excuses but c'mon... dull crayon)

With a clear head, not clouded with my hunger for nachos and ribs, I redrew how my Train Father SHOULD have looked more like...


But then even this... jeez.

Kinda wonky perspective (I SUCK at perspective) and even though it's a sketch, some parts are really lazy... like I just expected random lines that I threw down would make sense somehow.

I think it's weird that everything is slightly leaning... MUST DRAW MORE STRAIGHT.

Okay well... that's 3 down.
