    Default Cartoon shark

    I'm working from the cartoon book again and this is all freehand though drawing from examples in the book.

    I'm starting to see the benefits of the 'draw something and refine it and then refine it again' process. These are my steps to get to the final product.

    I'm still having a good time doing these. I hope some of you enjoy them too.

    I'm never wrong. I thought I was wrong once but it turns out that I was mistaken.

    You're improving very quickly Eric. The shark is a good start on the path to developing your freehand skills.

    If that shark's smile gets much wider you'll have a fine drawing of a decapitated shark.

    Seriously though, good work.

    Right on, handrawn. Though, I prefer to refer to the technique as 'visual hyperbole'.
