    Larson is indeed great.

    Effects are very important in cartoons, and Gary Larson knows that well. This is why, when he does use light and shadows, he usually puts a lot of work into making sure they are correct.

    Some more shadows from Larson. Sometimes he includes none at all, but when he does include them he works very hard to make them as accurate as he can. And this is from one of the zaniest cartoonists out there.

    let us hope GL does not catch you posting up his work without permission, he really does not like that sort of thing [and permission he does not give lightly]

    Yeah, like I'm really trying to sell these.

    Personally I think Larson would be happy to see a couple of his cartoons being used to show how good he is with shadows and light.

    Time to man up Steve. Feedback can be more than fluff posts.

    Good job Derek, my grandaughter loves cats in any shape or form. At least you don't have to clean up the kitty litter. Keep them coming.

    Thank you all again for your wonderful comments... I tried to find a book I have on drawing cartoons, but I think my son's pinched it. It says words to the effect '' The great thing about drawing cartoons is that you can draw anything you like no matter how silly it looks....Because it's a cartoon!! '' However I take on bored James comments, and I'll put them into practice when I do a realistic painting... Thanks again!

    That’s great Derek.

    Tell me when you find a book that says there are no rules regarding the use of light, shadows and reflections, in cartoons.
