Still Workin' On It
WHEN YOU COPY, DRAW SLOWLY, CAREFULLY AND THINK
Yep, that's something I haven't been doing: drawing slowly, carefully and thoughtfully. My earlier lesson drawings were done at sub-snail speed, per this example...
I drew so slowly, that I'd get comments encouraging me to "work looser!" (You can see that my self-portrait was a lot less cute & cartoon-y, as well!)
Then, as my nightly drawing started to evaporate, I started hacking out drawings while I was eating breakfast.
Then, I just ended up doing those Father-Daughter doodles, which absolutely prohibits slow, deliberate drawing.
Bottom line: I'll have to slow myself down and work on my "lessons" when I can concentrate on them. I'll save the fast-n-furious stuff for Father-Daughter jam session.

Sounds like a good plan. I love the Daddy-Daughter stuff. I just can't say that enough. I think it is neat.
I agree with whimsicalnbrainpan, the Daddy-Daughter drawings are great!
And I too have a tough time drawing slowly and carefully... you're not alone!
"Just thought I'd stop by and comment so you don't pull an "uncle eddie" on us!"
Thank you for the very kind words, Craig. And not to worry, I'm not going to ditch my blog anytime soon, and it's a mighty damn shame that Eddie had decided to leave his blog. Let's just hope that he won't do something stupid, like deleting it, for instance.
Also, I'm planning on writting a post on the history of the Terrytoons, so look for it around next week.

whim: Oh, those Daddy-Daughter sessions will continue, you can be sure of that!
marc: Wow! Even real, honest-to-goodness cartoonists have these sort of issues? Thanks for letting me know.
bruce: Looks like Eddie's back. I look forward to your Terrytoons post!
