Monkeying with Frazetta and Assorted Lessons

Done as a lark. Saw the ape painting when I followed Ellis's link to "The Autumn People," thought he'd make a good case study for my class on caricaturing animals...had to add the girl to make it more Frazetta-y, but hopefully in a slightly subversive way. I shared it on the Frazetta Fan Page group on Facebook and thought I might get flamed...but people liked it.


Another example fer the young'ns on how to take a pic and turn it into an anatomy study:



Trying to do some lessons on cartoony animal design...but it's hard to shift gears from the realistic stuff!

These are completely great! Your students must love you. They no doubt want all the osmosis they can get. Love the girls foot turn out. Bears are tough. That's a keeper.

Weird Frazetta's girl looks more like Suydam. Not quite Mike Hoffman but not much like Frazetta. But since it's Frazetta, it's great.

I feel like I'm getting an animal drawing course free of charge. In fact I'm glad everybody has been posting so much lately. I'm hungry for the inspiration. Much of what I've learned about drawing over the years has come from observing the drawings of my fellow TAGsters and saying to myself "Look how they did that."
