  Very nice. I really dig this sort of thing.

  There’s an awful lot of great ideas and drawing philosophy in this delightfully-drawn cartooning tutorial! The nice surprise is that this is a brilliant example of storytelling. Somehow you manage to combine real drawing lessons with some personal ranting! ..and by adding in some autobiographical story elements, you come up with a comic strip that’s so good I wish I had a poster of it on my wall right now. Man, I LOVE it! Great stuff!

  That was really funny! You should do comics for a kids’ humor magazine…like, I don’t know…Nickelodeon Magazine or something!!!!

  Ha, cool. I got one of those little wooden figures once. I got home, opened it, and then thought “Shit, why did I get this?”, and put it far in the back of my desk drawer never to be seen again.

  brilliant I actually did destroy my dummy-drawing-thingnie out of exasperation!

  Very nice – looking forward to the next one, I’m going to share this with my daughter.

  Great way to intoduce this subject. I will definitely be tuning in. I too got one of those stupid dummies. They;re great for making your figures look just as stiff and wooden as they are. I got a GI Joe Doll instead and that worked buch better. At least with the GI Joe DOll you can see realistic folds and wrinkles as well as how different lighting effects the face and body.

  Hahahaha, nice!

• Bob Flynn | January 18th, 2008 8:35 pm

  Funny and informative. I actually enjoyed the expressions and gestures of your character. You have mad skills, thanks for sharing them with everyone.
