Friday Night Fun With My Art

 

I haven't posted anything special but I think that's what makes this blog kinda cool. I can post my art, or talk about stuff outside of my drawings.

Now for some hand-drawn art

What's important for me wanting to show art as of the end of September, is that I'm having alot of trouble with school and it's my final grade so I need to pass to get the credit and have a good adulthood. I have 4 classes left to pass my entire education in high school and one of them is a piano class I did not sign up for. I never cared playing instruments and I always thought playing that bland thing was gonna to be an extreme struggle. I love music for listening to it, not playing it. 

So instead I'm getting a internship to draw some stuff to promote my school. I don't get paid but at least it's something of a challenge.

It was a good way for me to talk it out and get the chance to get a new class that will push me through to the future.

Halloween Is Coming...

 Since Halloween is coming and basically Autumn has begun I made a new character named Smoky. He's a skeleton who is full of expressing himself and does so by being perfectly still so he won't pass out and then collect his bones.

This is him.

Also model sheet. 👍 

Dredd The Moose has a series I'm planning to make in the future. Dredd is mostly chilling at the beginning of every cartoon until he faces a horror character like Dracula, The Grim Reaper or The Witch. 

Last thing is that his shoes are a mix of halloween colors. Beige, Orange and Yellow. And at the start, his house is so dark and quiet, he has to light a candle and start expressing himself to make the audience happy.

The Great Piggy Bank Robbery (1946) Daffy's Best

 

I'm talking about one of Daffy's best cartoons, better than Duck Amuck.

It's The Great Piggy Bank Robbery!

The reason why I wanted to watch this so badly it's because i seen a few clips of the short film. And when he started saying "WHY DON'T HE GET HERE?" I needed to watch it immediately and it changed my life. I was around 14 when I first seen the cartoon.

Daffy Duck is a huge fan of Dick Tracy obviously, i mean you can literally see the expressions he makes. Daffy then punches himself by mistake and dreams about being Dick Tracy, named Duck Twacy. 

I remember watching the scene where Daffy is calling on phones and I was observing animated frames and Daffy's acting. The smearing frames are really good. 

The animators are absolute geniuses. Animation is not like this anymore. We now have flash animation and emotional shorts that don't feel lively within it's characters. These were in 1946. That's 78 years ago as of writing this. 

It's such an easy and pleasant cartoon to watch. I pretty much never get sick of it myself especially since it's going for a nighttime aesthetic.

Daffy's first monster he meets is Mouse Man, and he has some really expressive animation.

 

 Daffy meets more monsters. Snake Eyes, 88 Teeth, Hammerhead, Pussycat Puss, Bat Man, Double-Header, Picklepuss, Pumpkinhead, Neon Noodle, Jukebox Jaw and Wolfman.

My favorite is Rubber Head mostly because the monsters that were mentioned are just mostly there. Rubber Head is really interesting.

The fight scene was amazing. I would like to talk about it, but that would take all day and I said it otherwise that it's amazing. 

Daffy then finally searches for the piggy banks.

It ends with the most hilarious closings in a Looney Tunes Short. Daffy kisses the piggy bank but then realizes that he had a dream about being Duck Twacy, he actually kisses a pig from a farm and it's so clever I want to learn how to make clever endings like this. It's so funny.

I would highly recommend you watching The Great Piggy Bank Robbery (1946) if you haven't. It's one of my favorite classic cartoons, I love how colorful, expressive and easy to follow it really feels.

Hare Ribbin' (1944) Part 2/2

 

The underwater effect is really great in this cartoon. I also love how Bugs dressed up as a mermaid, literally plays tag and slaps the heck out of this dog and it manages to spin like crazy. 

Also these expressions are so fantastic it makes me happy. 

I made a new character and tried out drawing the  detailed expressions.

Bugs then slaps the dog with his fins and the animation on that is also really memorable.

The dog now gets mad and the expression is really masterful. I actually still need to learn how to draw his teeth like that. Great action scene.

He then realizes that for him being distracted by Bugs Bunny and trying to offer food, the dog freaks out. His mouth in the 3rd frame of this picture is Bob Clampett for sure.

Clampett is known for having his characters stretch their mouths and I always found that to be genius and expressive.

These 8 shots are massive!

Bugs does his antics to think he's ready to be eaten by disguising himself as a rabbit sandwich. Look at the sweaty tongue the dog has in these few frames. 

The only problem I seem to have with the cartoon is the ending. In fact, there was a lost original ending where Bugs puts a gun to the dog's mouth, but in the more safer version on DVDs, he shoots himself and it's not really that funny, the original lost ending is way better. But the last 10 seconds is cool. 

It reminds me of the ending in A Fractured Leghorn (1950) a underrated masterpiece.

The dog has actually came back in the recent show, Looney Tunes Cartoons. It's paying alot of homage to the classic Looney Tunes and it's a really enjoyable show if you ask me. Watched a few episodes already and they were funny. Also the backgrounds sometimes feel lively. I haven't watched this episode in particular. I should. It's called Bonehead. It looks like a good one. 👍 

I'm finished going through a classic Looney Tunes cartoon that not gonna lie, this is gonna sound weird, have a guilty pleasure about. There's alot of cartoons I have guilty pleasures about like a few of the Censored 11 cartoons, the Sniffles cartoons and a movie I watched recently called Saludos Amigos.

I certainly hope you have a good day. Animation back then was extremely genius.

 

Hare Ribbin' (1944) Part 1/2

 

September 17th to September 18th I will be talking about Hare Ribbin' (1944). My favorite classic cartoon that has the best animated frames, art has ever conceived.

It's all thanks to this dog.

 

I will be mostly taking advantage on the frame bits of this cartoon, cuz all of them mostly are either meme-worthy or perfect.

Let's start.

I have to really study animating like this, the lip syncing is lively in these sets of pictures. 

This is by far the most memorable scene in the cartoon. The smearing in the 4th picture is something I always wanted to learn and this really helps.

 

"BEEEEE-ooooooo." is a hilarious line from this dude. And here is some of the frames. See how he stretches his mouth and you can see half of his eyes in the 4th one. It's really fun to look at. 

When Bugs begins to interact with the dog, he stretches his ears and it's extremely cartoony as well as the part where Bugs stretches his tongue.

Pretty much alot of characters that deal with Bugs Bunny really think to themselves. This dog by far has the best facial expressions when it comes to it. 

How come when Bugs Bunny memes become a thing, they rarely use Clampett's frames of him, I mean there's the Big Chungus and "No" meme but that's it really. The 3 pictures I took have to be at least mentioned.

Usually cartoon characters where they dash for revenge they have this spiral, spinning animation. 

Love the background. And nice detail with the shadowing of the water.

 

Next time I'm willing to talk about the rest of the animated bits to this amazing cartoon. But you'll have to wait tomorrow or go to the next page to view it.
