Skeleton Foundation #1
Well, here's my first attempt at using a skeleton foundation (i.e. stick figure) to draw a character. A couple things occur to me:
1. I may have to work in a larger scale. 1-1/2" is OK for drawing a cartoon dog's head, but it pretty tough to cram a detailed character drawing to that space.
2. I have to be careful not to put too much meat on the pipe-cleaner construction.
Let's see what comes of it.
Note: I've added a link to fellow-blogger-student "louisa" and her "Exercises in Futility" blog. Welcome to the fold, Louisa!

Hiya, Laura!
I've tried working about 2x the size of some of the smaller examples and it has helped. I'll post the results Monday morning.
When I was a kid, I thought cartoons were drawn the size they appeared in the comics section of the newspaper, so that's the scale I drew in all through my (mal)formative years. Of course, the comics have only shruken even more since then! You practically need a jeweler's loupe to read 'em these days...
