wiLbur's archive hour II -- continued
the restless and at times frustrating search to find a drawing style i was happy with led me to play with the whole thing a little in some cartoons. here i drew a couple in my awkward left-handed style going into a bar full of slickly-drawn folk:
Photobucket

for a short while i thought i'd give up on the idea of having a particular style at all and just draw folk of all different styles intermingling within a single drawing. here's an example:
Photobucket

here's a close-up of the characters from that one:

i still quite like the concept, i suppose it illustrates something of the uniqueness of each individual or something pretentious like that...but, ultimately...it looks a little odd.

I really do like the different styles of characters mingling in the same drawing. I don't think it's too pretentious to insinuate that you're portraying different characteristics (while at the same time acknowledging that, yes, it is a bit pretentious).

I like the little fat guy, and the way the thin man's head curves likes a swan's neck.

yes i think the approach could maybe work for certain projects, but probably for gag cartoons would be distracting -- i dunno, but once again, it didn't stick, i moved on...

I don't think it's too odd at all! The line work ties it all together nicely.
