I decided to take on characters and scenes from The Nightmare Before Christmas as my second drawing challenge. This of course is a much tougher challenge for me learning drawing styles, but the characters are still fairly simple shapes thus worth learning.

I drew a few scenes suggested by friends and some characters as well. Being an older movie some of the characters were hard to capture a good image to draw, but I did what I set out to do. Being my favorite movie I hope to, later in my work and practice to do this movie again. And without further delay, my drawings.

What can I say but I love drawing Zero.

A few things I learned while doing these

1) Dogs have the same shapes pretty much regardless of type or size

2) Kevin is amazingly fun to draw anyone who loves to draw should try to draw her at least once

And

3) Drawings will rarely turn out perfect, but it's more about what you take and learn from one drawing to the next.

Cartoons?

So I've been working over the last few days on attempting to learn some cartoon styles. I started in an interesting way, taking images from Up and setting forth to see how well I could draw them. The first image didn't go so well and in return I started doing some character drawings of the characters, and I loved it. Today I went ahead and went to re-draw the scenes that I had attempted the first day and they went a lot better, but two or three days of drawing this wont make me an expert. So... I'm on to my next experiment.

I plan to post images as I go from both this previous attempt and my new attempt, when I get the chance and plan to update here with my work and progress. Any suggestions are always welcome, even if I can't promise to use them.
