I think you did great Laurie but I know what you mean.... I kind of rushed this one and I am not happy how this came out....I guess we are our own worst critiques.

This drawing inspired by Clara the text was my idea only....I was using a reference.

Hey Clara how would you like to host that challenge ?

Brian that drawing is lovelyI can't beleive i inspired you
About hosting that challenge.......you think I'm up to it???????? That is a true challenge!!!! I guess it wouldn't hurt me to give it a try.
So do I just start a new thread or what??
Thank you for this ( I'm a bit nervous about this )

It looks like poor Sylvester has finally given up Brian. Love the way you have coloured it using the darker shade of blue to show the water.

I bet you will do great Clara I find it a great experience and no need to be nervous . I was thinking if you like..? maybe since many may not have the proper programs for animations that you could do a two part challenge. Part two could be for Cartoon drawings....Part one for drawing animations....

I would be happy to help

Lance I think Sylvester threw in the towel...thanks for your kind words.


My attempt at another.

yes but brian all ur drawings are perfect, so is everyones...wow i have missed a lot...and missed all my friends here, im so happy to be back

Wow another lovely drawing, You are the master of cartoons

I think that's a good idea, to spilt the challenge in two parts, I already have some ideas...just tell me one thing, should this be a one week challenge? I think it's a short time, animations can take a while, I was thinking at least two weeks, or should it have no dead line??
Thank you for everything

Thanks Laurie ! your kind words inspire me to keep going....we miss you too... I am so glad you are back.

Thanks Clara I just sent you a P.M.


I thought since this is a Looney tunes challenge I would post these 2 graphite drawings I did back in 06 when I was very new to drawing.

Well, I had to hurry through this challenge, but I am just really short on time. These aren.t very good, but I love the Looney Toons characters . Everyone has done a wonderful job on this challenge.

This is Beaky Buzzard and Cecil Turtle. (They really look like my grand daughter did them)

That?s a great drawing of Cecil. He looks so tired and lazy

Cyn I love your choice of characters....these are great...glad to see your cartoon drawings again...you always put a smile on my face.

Those are lovely Cyn,

Thank you Lance, Brian and Clara.. Life is so busy lately, it's hard to find the time to draw and I really need more than 20 minutes on a picture.

wow..some really great drawings everyone..hopefully i will get one more in

Getting your own back

Another grrrreat one!...Lance your work is so original I think it's excellent......your toons are amazing.

wow, I really love this one.

Great, Lance!! That's so funny..

Didn't look like anybody did this one yet so I gave it a try.

Hey that's really a great drawing Prismax great to see you!

I agree with lance. There is something really good about them... many of the previous subject matters look photo shopped. And If they are I would suggest that they be submitted into one of the forums that exist by the hundreds just for that.

Hi Marc.

I suggest you read and review at the top of this thread.... this is a CARTOON CHALLENGE and drawings are being posted prior to coloring or photo shop, I find this a fun way to practise our drawing skills.

I know I'm a little late, and this has been a great challenge but I couldn't let it finish without this guy:

I'm new to this forum and to drawing. I never know what to draw so I'm jumping at this while I can. It's Jerry.

Sorry for the poor quality all I've got is a webcam... plus i sketch kind of light

But I hope you guys like it. It's my first one

Hi all,

although the challenges never really expire... I have decided to extend this challenge to May 20th.

Mr Ofir Great to see you! What a fantastic version of Daffy?...and excellent how you incorporate your style into it....this one made me laugh.

Hi Ralphie welcome to the forum! and great drawing of Jerry...what a great choice of characters to draw....very well done....hope to see more of your drawings.

Brian.

Here is a drawing on Tom and Jerry. (not my idea, I used a ref. image)

I forgot to scan it berofe I inked
colored in paint shop pro

[attachmentid=10389][attachmentid=10390]

Kaly- not bad at all i like it. I'm a fan of tom and jerry



Here's v2. I added some cheese and colored it. Not to shabby I'm thinkin

What do you all think?

It`s very nice..Tom&Jerry is one of the best cartoons ever..

Wow Clara super drawing and I love the color.....hey inked is always fine ....your toons are amazing.... you just keep getting better and better and better.

Hi Ralphie great sketch!!! I am also a big fan of Tom and Jerry and also grew up with the Flintstones ... both toons created by the late greats Joseph Hanna and William Barbera...keep up the great drawings.

My bosses daughter I believe she is eight asked me if I could draw Tweety kicking a soccer ball....I did use several references...this is what I came up with...I kind of botched the inking....

Happy drawings,

Brian.

Nice action shot Brian your colouring is so good these days. I used to like Spike, the dog that Tom always seemed to have a hard time with

thank you Ralphie. Your Jerry is lovely and that cheese ... mhum... I love cheese



Thank you Bali



Thanks Brian, you are so kind
Your cartoon is fantastic, tweety's position is wonderfull,and is Sylvester suposed to be the goal keeper? He looks terrified LOL, and i love the colores TOO

Hey thanks Lance for your kind words.....oh yes I remember Spike and Tyke.....they were great!

Thanks Clara your a sweet heart my boss said she loved it and it's hanging on her bedroom wall.

Some one told me to check out brian david, so here is one of my loony toon drawings, i hope u like it, tell me what u think! [attachmentid=10420]

Brian Im liking the soccer image. Even with several references its cool to be able to draw your own unique image. So far I've just drawn exactly what I'm looking at but that will be my next step.

siksnosparnyte and showoffjg, im liking them both. I'm really liking this theme

I took the image from the animation challenge thread as a guide for this one:

Siksno... I had to post my avatar after your wonderful drawing... By the way I have missed you!

Hi showoffjp welcome to the challenge.... I am glad you came to check it out. I think you got this drawing bang on... and I like how you captured his expression very well done... I look forward to more of your drawings.

Thanks for your kind words Ralphie.... I am glad you like the challenges.....I really liked your animation.


it is great to see this participation you are all very talented.

Happy drawings, Brian.

Thanks, Brian and ralphie616.

It's nice to know that someone missed me

Here's another toon one, Marvin the Martion and Road Runner
[attachmentid=10439]

Kind of neat to see those two characters together showoffip another great sketch!

everyone seems to be having a great time and all the drawings are great too..

i was just thinking Brian, i am participating in my very first art card exchange and i think the idea is wonderful..dont know who thought it up but i very much am into this kind of thing..anyhoot, was just wondering how come you dont have a card exchange too..you know a monthly one..same as the other one here, different themes, characters, etc...i think it would be fun..how bout you?

Hi Kay,

thanks for all your kind words I am glad you enjoy these challenges and I always look forward to your drawings and participation. Sounds like a great idea!!! ... a card exchange with Cartoons and characters... sure sounds fun....I never really thought of that before and have mostly been focused on the challenges....

I think it would be great....would you be interested in hosting ?

cool...i think it would be lots of fun, ..i wouldnt mind hosting once in a while at all..course like i said i am just now joined my first one here and just recently heard of these trades so am not sure how to go about something like that...reckon just like they do the other one..start at the beginning of the month..have em all out at the end..sign up the last week of the month for the following one..one week sign up period? dont know how all that works..what should be the first one? etc..i have no idea about that kind of stuff
but i am glad you like the idea..i think it would be everybit as fun as the others..dont you?


i wonder if anyone would be interested..?????????

You've got my vote. Never tried cartoons, but sounds like fun.

never entered a card trade, but sometime has to be the first, so why not
Should be FUN!!

Kay I am afraid I am even more in the green and have never participated in a card exchange...that is other then the secrete Santa Jeanette or Kim host at christmas time. But I do think it is a great idea also and I think we should keep it in mind. Best of luck with your first!!!

Brian

well it doesnt seem to hold much interest..there should be at least 10 ppl so we could have two groups of five i think..only 2 others have shown any interest so maybe i should wait for another time..

regards
Kay

No reason to have two groups; one group of five (or so) would be just fine.

thanks Mr. Hill..I will start a thread and see what happens...

I agree with Ernest ....even one vote means a million to me Kay and we have not even asked officially who is interested....and thanks to Melinda and Kaly for showing an interest .

by the way nice to see you Ernest...I had not seen you for a while.
