Bilbo the Rover Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I've been toying with the idea of a board cartoon featuring the boys and members of our little community. In the past I have used members posted pictures for my sketches, great faces with lots of character ! a couple have found their way into a painting or two as well. I'm really burned out with the brushes and wanted to do something fun, simple and not too serious so here are two to start with. I'll always ask first if I can use someones likeness in the thread and let them approve the 'toon before I post it. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings and they will never be mean spirited. Bear in mind, these first two are just to get the ball rolling, I'm still toying with the ink \ artists markers decision and the sketch book I used had cream colored paper so the preliminary pics look "aged" which is kinda cool too. So, anyway....here goes..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo the Rover Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) This second one was inspired by a Bonzo quote I read. In an interview in '72 he said that he liked to yell out like a "bear" or "thunder" while he was drumming...I sketeched a full on fantasy Bonzo which looked too crazy, so here is one of the "head" only drawings I did. I'm trying to avoid realism and go completely cartoon with these..... I really enjoy drawing Bonzo Edited November 30, 2007 by Bilbo the Rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo the Rover Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 The next three are going to be board members, I'll be in touch before I post them and you have full control whether to approve or decline. Please don't be hurt if I don't get to everyone right away, I'm a busy cat and it's in no way a popularity contest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo the Rover Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 You're all very kind, wanted to keep it in the "cartoony" realm and avoid getting too detailed...more to come !
