i am wendy--smart and cute with a mean streak but i dont have a web so i couldnt get her to put her on here. that was fun though.
Lori

Thank you lori on the comments about the ferrit drawing ...I was ask to add ferrits into the picture and well I dont do animals very good and ferrits were going to be really hard lol ...
where are you guys going to generate a picture from south park ?

www.sp-studio.de
Paulette

Thanks for the comments.

Painter - That helped a great deal, thanks.

Kim - I'm glad I tried it. It's just so very far off from what I normally do... Oh, and if "he is not really that green" was ment to refer to my lizard, I hope he doesn't since he's brown.

I love the style of the ferrit drawing. Looks like it would make a cool tattoo.

i went to comedy central and then southpark and then there is a quiz you can take--read through it and answer the questions and at the end it will tell you who you are like. and show a picture but they give you a link you copy and paste on your website--they say its a badge but thats what it is. i hope thats the one everyone is talking about.
here is another one i did. her name is jorga (she looks like the hamster but i actually did it for my sons guinea pig) and she is a racecar driver. i did it in watercolor and watercolor pencils and a very little bit of black in a gel pen. please let me know honest opinions if you think it good or okay or whatever-you wont hurt my feelings. i am thinking of pursueing childrens book illustrations but not sure about. thanks
Lori

Venus , I am so glad to see how much fun this thread is and by the way I would love to see some of your Disney sketches if you still have them and would like to post them, I am a big fan I also love Goofy.

Lori I am just amazed , okay honest opinion.....I love it .... I think it is an adorable sketch and I hope you follow your dreams... It is adorable.

Uk....it is great to see your face....I miss you...

Thanks Nellie, hope you will do one for us....Brain.

I had a very busy day today and just got in and could not wait to post this.......I spent 3 hours on this sketch for Cyn last night , I hope she likes it......... Cyn.... I want to wish you a very happy birthday and many more....Best wishes, Brian.

awsome job brian !!! she is so cute .

Thank you Brian David that was kind of you to say

Lori - the website is www.sp-studio.de That was a cute little hamster. If he had bigger ears he could be a mouse. hehehe

Brian - What a cool Betty Boop. I love her. I have one of those clocks with a picture of Betty Boop on it and it says Boop Boop Be Doop on the hour. It drives everyone nuts. hahahaha

my in laws were fifties freaks. they had everything fifties and old cars and ran around to car shows all over.
brian-- i love that betty boop. you did a wonderful job, and thank you very much.
venus yes please i would love to see you sketches of disney too. i am a big fan also. i know they look awesome.
thanks painter--i am checking that out now
Lori

I love my Boop!! Thank you Brian.. You are the sweetest guy around. You never forget us girls..

Brian I would have loved to show off my old disney drawing but they got lost in the shuffle of moving alot when I was younger. I will do more though.

Ohh and Nicole I love how you know your stuff hun!! I saved all of the links you provided..LOL

Brian, I saw your Betty Boop sketch for Cyn and made her a card using Betty Boop too. I love Betty Boop and hadn't even thought about the character in a long time. Cyn I hope you like it the card is in your Birthday thread. The one I am posting here I cropped out the birthday wishes and am just posting the Betty Boop I drew.

Kim, thanks for your comments....and I read what you said on Cyn's b-day thread....you are pretty sweet yourself hun....

Painter....thanks and that is funny about your clock... My Mom bought me a men's Boop watch last year on e-bay....funny no one bid on it and she paid only one dollor for it , but 8 for shipping ....it is a real novelty watch I like it. My very fist sketch of Betty I accidently put b on the end of her name instead of p, was I ever embarrassed when I realized what I did..

Lori, thanks again for your kind comments.

UK your welcome hun

Cyn , glad you liked my card ... Hope you had a great one.

Venus ,I think that is very sweet that you too have done a Betty for Cyn and I love it.

Cyn, seems you are our main topic...lol ...so I decided to once again try to color and added some to my character named after you.... so here is Cyn Kid...

Venus and brian .. very cute cartoons lol

Brian- I never understood the point of Betty Boop but I like your drawing and thank you for looking at my album.

Aviation - check out this link about Betty Boop. It has always been such a classic cartoon. She always had such a cute squeaky voice.

http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/6773/

love the cartoon cyn kid!! you have a great imagination brian.
i think i am going to work on another one today.
venus love your betty boop too.
Lori

Good to be back here after more than 2 months absence : Here's mine.

Sorry for breaking the rules by leaving my illustrations in black and white, the reason is that I do not intend to color it and thought that you and the others would want to see it. Asking some people to put black and white illustrations only might stop others who want to participate posting because many people do not like coloring their pieces or rather they are not too good at coloring. I think everyone should have the chance to show what they have done whether black and white or color.

Sorry to say all this, it is just my humble suggestions. Hope you like mine. Done in 2004 :

Actually Dean, I recanted my statement about the cartoons being done in color and said that black and white was acceptable in on the first page. I wanted it to where everyone would feel free to do a cartoon and understood many people might not have the mediums for color drawings. Lovely job on your cartoons I love them!!! Hope to see more and welcome back.

I feel so stupid now Venus. Sorry for that. I did not read it completely but just watched the drawings. I really like your cameleon. Reminds me of my childwood in the little Tropical island Mauritus where I come from. We used to see so many of these little creatures but now it is almost becomming extinc on the island. Thanks for making me go back in my sweet childhood with that lovely illustration.

Kev

Ok. I promised I would join this challenge, and that was a couple of days ago and I can't seem to get a decent cartoon using the Mouse and Chameleon.

But, since I see that people are posting other cartoons I decided to put one up so I don't feel like a complete loser.

[attachmentid=2997]

Kev - welcome back - I absolutely love your cartoons. They are just too funny.


vhpayes - I like your lion very much......................but, I was really anticipating a different cartoon from you. You are very talented in this area I know. Oh well, maybe next time. I'll definitely look forward to it.
BTW the cartoon doesn't have to involve both the mouse and lizard. It can be either one.

Kev, don't feel stupid, you were not the only one to say something about it all being in color thats why I changed it. I am glad I brought up a happy childhood memory for you. Sad that the little chameleons are becoming extinct. People have a way of ruining stuff without even realizing it all of the world and its sad.

VH..Don't worry I do like your lion.

Thanks Painter for clarifying for me.

Kev I absolutly LOVE your style .. I think you do a cute job of character drawing ...most just look to farout ....yours is awsome .. I love the gansta baby ! lol .
Vhpayes .. love the lion

Hi All,

Aviation... thanks for your kind words on Betty Boop.....I believe she was created by the same creator as Popeye his name was Max Fleisher, and she was modeled from the actress Mae West.....as I find many cartoons are modeled from people.

Thanks Lori and Kim, glad you like Cyn Kid....Lori hope to see more of your cartoons you are great at them..

Dean...I am honoured to meet you and I admire your talents very much. Hope to see some recent work.

Vhpayes.... like your lion and hope to see more.

This is really cute. That's a good idea putting the background in the window

Painter....I thought of this idea the other night and finally put it on paper.... I did this one for you and your hub ......and by the way Joanie, I hope you don't mind that I like to call you Painter.....I mean...... because you are a painter...lol......and I like you Kind of like how Bart calls his Dad Homer....lol

Brian - thank you, Snoopy is sooooo cute. My DH will get a kick out of it. He does wear a uniform to work but he's a railroad cop so he doesn't walk the beat. He is also on a special team (just like a SWAT team,but it's called a SORT team) so he sometimes wears a completely different type of outfit, if you know what I mean.

I'm still brainstorming to get another cartoon done before this challenge is over, but not sure if I'll make it in time. Lots going on this week. heheheheh Oh, and I don't care what you call me as long as you don't call me before noon...... LOL

Southern Cross - I like your "bad habit" and like Kim, can't figure out how you did that?? We have a thing going on here with a few people wanting to try to quit smoking. If you ever decide to quit, this is a good place to get support. I haven't had one in 2 1/2 years now. But doesn't mean that I don't still want them. LOL

Nice Dean and Vh.

Painter- I understand who she is, its just I don't find her very entertaining, I guess I am a little too young to understand this classic.

I just realized that I find it odd how its hard to find an actual cartoon of her yet I see a bunch of products and her image posted everywhere. Yet you don't see images of other classic cartoons.

Brian - The same creator of Popeye? I was actually thinking that Boop reminded me of Popeye. And great Snoopy! Now there is a cartoon that I will never stop loving.

Aviation - yes, unfortunately you grew up in another generation than some of us and didn't get to see the old time cartoons. Actually, they were pretty violent and very slap-stick type cartoons. The animation was extremely choppy and nothing like you are used to. They didn't censor them as much as today.

When Disney came out with his animated cartoons, it was like night and day. We very seldom got to see color cartoons either. Mostly because we didn't have a color TV because it wasn't available to the public yet.
So if you wanted color cartoons, you had to go to the movie theater to see them.

Sounds like the old story: Father to Son: "We had to walk 3 miles to school in the cold and snow and rain in the olden days. " LOL

My husband and I still like to watch some of the oldie cartoons. But I can still appreciate "some" of the new ones too, especially South Park.

Brian cute cartoon ... I love how you personalize them .. very cute .
joanie i did not know your husband was in the law Enforcment Thats awsome .. i was going to be a State Trooper but during my physical they found I was with child ....Surprise for me so I was going to try another time .. then 4 months later I lost the baby and me and my husband were just heart broken .. after that I had to wait for 3 months .. then soon as i could I was pregnant again .. by the time I had my daughter .. one I was not in the smae shape as I was and they have a very hard physical test and two .. I was a mom now and had other ideas ...

Thanks Painter....if I only had known I would have drawn a little track in the back and gave Snoop a swat type uniform....lol Promise, I won't call before noon...lol

Aviation thanks for your comments....and I find Painters last post interesting...I love the classic cartoons....they were so well done and such "detail" in some of the scenery and back grounds and all hand drawn...some also had music to them and some had the old follow the bouncing ball sing along ....I found them to be very entertaining. I have a few on dvd I like to play from time to time.

Thanks Kim , I love to add a personal touch ...lol....you are the same hun, I love the sketch you did for Venus.



Happy drawings everyone, Brian

Here's a little political cartoon. Nobody said I couldn't post one, so here it is. If the moderators feel that it is offensive or inappropriate, then delete it.

[attachmentid=3053] [attachmentid=3074] I decided to colorize it.

Its not inappropriate to me lol .
Brian you are the master of the cartoons

Painter that is grrreat! I got a good laugh from them... what a great idea....Political cartoon's are sure popular . Very nice of you to share that with us, I always enjoy seeing your artwork.


Aww thanks Kim that is sweet of you to say....I am working on a mouse cartoon character now it sure is a challenge and will be my first .

Joanie I dont find it inappropiate!! I find it halarious!!! Great job, you did awesome on the the body's and movements. I am impressed and can see you are enjoying this Cartoon Thread with the way your posting them.

Sorry everyone, I haven't posted more than my two messasley little cartoons, I have been busy with getting ready for son's b-day party today and cleaning...Hopefully will be back on track tomorrow!!!

I'm really sorry I haven't posted my cartoons too, but my connection sucks. I actually have some of the mouse and chameleon now and I'll post them soon I promise.

Painter48 Great political cartoon. Those are my favorite cartoons. Especially good job on Obama.

I would love to see more!!!

Thanks, this was my first political cartoon.

It was difficult to caricature Obama as the only feature he has that is outstanding is his ears. It took me a couple hours to work this one out and then get to the final inked drawing.

Hi everyone,

this is my little mouse character I am working on.....my first....it sure is a challenge.

Brian your mouse turned out very cute .

Awwwwww, Brian. That little mousey is cute. I like him.

Joanie...I love it!! Great Job on the colors!!

Brian...your mousey is adorable..cant wait to see it finished!!!

Thanks Kim, Painter and Venus..... I can't believe, this I send all my sketches to my Mom and she said I should call him Mousey and Venus and Painter just called him that.... So here is Mousey the Mouse now finished....lol
