Well, seeing as today is the first day a school (in Canada anyway) I thought this little guy would be quite approriate. I made a video of how to draw him in flash which I will post tomorrow. Tgis is the exact same version of the character that I mad in the video. Any comments on this character, you know where to voice them. You know, after looking at this character for a while realised that he's kind of crooked, don't you think.

I know I said I would have my blog template ready for download today, but there is still a problem with the embedded comment form. You can see it any of the posts that have comments, the text box get's pushed up to the right and just looks bad, I can't give you a template like that, also if anyone knows how to fix this problem please put it in the comments or email me. I'm not so sure how long it's going to take for me to fix this comment form problem. So it wouldn't hurt to check back regularly or subscribe.


This is a drawing of my lastest cartoon character, the doctor. Also, I drew over him in flash, as you can see. I remember now why I switched to taking pictures of my drawings instead of scanning them; my scanner sucks and is slow, plus it picks up erased pencil marks that aren't even visible to the human eye, but I couldn't find my camera so I had to do what i had to do, which was get the drawing on the computer. Anyway enjoy.

As the title says, these are five unique cartoon characters that I drew last night. I actually drew more but these are the most awsomest best five unique cartoon characters. Anyway I want you guys to pick your favourite character by commenting. If you are on of the people who picked the winning unique character then I'll send you (you meaning, everyone that picked the winning character) a giant desktop sized version of the winning cartoon character. If there are any questions feel free to post it in the comments. The pictures are numdered top to bottom, so the top cartoons character is number 1 and the bottom cartoon is number 5, use these numbers to identify them in your comments Don't Forget To Leave Your Name And Email In The Comment.

Wacky Character

Small Cute Character
Neck Tied Character











Cartoon Guy With Glasses fd=
Cartoon Shaved Guy

















Update:


I feel kinda stupid now, because I was thinking should these cartoon characters have all the same height or width? Well I went with height thinking "I'll just put them side by side and they'll look fine". Well I was wrong the Blogger editor won't let me place these cartoons side by side. So now I'm thinking I should have lined up the width.

One more bonus for reading this far: If you leave your website or blog URL in your comment I'll visit it and leave a related comment there (you'll know if I left the comment, I hope).

This is my sketch of a cartoon pirate. I couldn't exactly find a pirate looking hat for him but whatever it's a cartoon. I might do a little pirate series, like some more pirate characters or a pirate ship, maybe even a parrot. Some could even be tutorials. I'm not sure if I'll do a pirate series yet. Drawing him was kinda fun, a got the idea of drawing a cartoon pirate from the spoon graphics blog, except I was trying to go for more of a scary or vicious looking kind guy. So yeah, please comment.















(the hat looks like it would be more suitable for a cowboy)










This is the drawing that I drew in the post just before this one. He's a cartoon teenager, with long hair over his eyes and a big nose. A very easy character to draw, and you even get a nice shadow of me.


This is my newest character that I've drawn I plan to digitize him soon enough. Parts of him are drawn over with pen only because they weren't showing up on camera. He's a real class act though isn't he, patches and holes in/on his clothes, even a big toe sticking out of his shoe. Plus the poor fella hasn't shaved in days. I shot this with my camera so he looks a little distorted.

If anyone is reading this at all please comment, any recognition would be nice. I'm going to have to get my blog around some more places.
