CLICKER CLATTER

Wow, it feels like an eternity since my last post, I've been offline for a while. Anyway, here is the cartoon that the "froglick" drawing was for. I did a few of the other characters as well, but most of the character design was done by Adam English.

Froglick

Drawing I did today that will be used as a still in a short cartoon. It will be seen in the background as a newscaster is talking about a group of teens tripping from licking frogs.

Grouping

Fitting more than just two people on a sketch is often very fun. Especially when you have a great group of friends or family who want to get drawn all funny looking. It helps exaggeration by making you want to show all the differences in each face at the same time, while you're also thinking about composition and visual weight of the drawing. I don't enjoy seeing the same old "cookie cutter" sketches all bunched in on a page, that's pretty boring.
To prevent this, sometimes I'll seat each person one at a time and only do a quick sketch of them just with one my colors real lightly, making sure I go from my gut instinct on an exaggeration. Then, I'll go ahead with the marker seating each one again, making sure I go for what I origanlly intended on the first glance. I'm sure many other artists use this type of method or something similar...I find it to be someting very difficult to perfect.

Nearing End of Summer

Haven't posted anything in a while, I guess I've been kinda busy. I made trips to Great Adventure to work w/ Beau Hufford and Matt Zitman. Then I went to Dorney Park to work w/ Tim Reed. Here is some more recent stuff from my park. But, there's plenty more that I'll be adding from my "Kaman's Tour".

This first guy gave me a free ticket and asked to be drawn extra funny!

Park Park!
