Days 11/12 of 21


Didn't get to draw yesterday, and will probably only get the one shown here up today. Started this boy with a enlongated kidney bean shape for his upper body. Might be a tad too bent over, but I tried to compensate by putting his front leg out enough to balance him. I am happy with him.

I like it tom! Great expression and pose.. He looks like he asked somebody out and got a no for an answer.Poor thing..

Tom Barrett said...

Ha, that's funny. I thought the same thing about him as I was posting it!

Alicia Padrón said...

Hey Tom! Terrific mopey character. I like how far over he's slouched, terrific exageration. And he's well balanced, he doesn't look like he's going to fall over because you stuck that front foot out. Nice work!

He certainly looks like he's down in the dumps! You captured that mood very well! Your characters have such great expression.

Eugenia Gina said...

look like he's searching for something missing by the look of his his face and tha body position.. :)

Tom Barrett said...

Thanks, Ryan and Cindy! He was an evolving character as well. I drew the shape and went from there!

Gina: I was thinking that, too. Wasn't what I was going for, but you are right, being bent over that much kinda makes him appear to be searching for something!

I thought as Gina, also his hand in the pocket, as if he has realized there is a hole in it. That special thing he is searching desolately must have been there...

I actually think his posture and expression work well together. Very nice!
