Weeks 29 and 30 - Hunt Emerson

I've been lazy about posting but I am still doing artwork and studies. For weeks 29 and 30 I studied Hunt Emerson. I studied from his book Casanova's Last Stand. I chose his work because of his great cartoony style. After the past month being realistic and serious I wanted to go back to my cartoony roots. I can tell we both draw influence from classic cartoon animation. These were very enjoyable studies.
Gesture -Hunt Emerson copies -Originals -I am no longer following a schedual. I've been doing finished digital character illustration and working on a personal project of mine. These lessons of copying a classic cartoonist/illustrator then doing originals with his style in mind has helped me improve alot. As much as I would like to continue studies like this, It is time to focus on creating original work. I am trying to improve in taking drawings from start to finish. Also, I am very excited to do my personal project and it can't wait for my skills to improve anymore. Time to get to work.

Looney, please come back. This blog was awesome. I've advanced so far with my own cartoon studies, and I find that my drawings are becoming more and more solid with each study that I do. Thanks for the advice you always gave me on my blog.
