Natural Artists - The Sequel

 

I recently talked about Swinnerton and Rabier as they are hugely talented and love to make cute art. 

Rabier in particular has alot of variety in his work. He doesn't go for too much complexity and likes to keep it well balanced and approachable for audiences.

Cartoonists especially animators I like usually have pleasent details and simple connections between environments that don't need to have a meaning or story built around them. They're like paintings but on a more fictional scale, not alot of scenery but has characters in it.

While both these men are awesome, their is two others that I think exactly fit my style best.

This is Dudley Buxton, he's notable for creating postcards and designing some of the most polished and most creative sets of individuals I ever seen.

Usually blending a staggering background into sets of characters can be difficult. This is simply a drawing, a good drawing at that.

I also like it's minimalism, but it's different than you think. Not as minimalistic as today's standards. Something so different about this image over a modern McDonald's restaurant is how detailed and colorful it looks. No greys, no beige, just personality.

Kinda like my drawings.

What Dudley also liked to do was design proper poses to make the character more expressive and clean. I love the construction in this drawing. Note that these are just postcards. What the heck happened now?

What makes old fashioned drawings so unique and interesting is that they could create whatever they want and it could still be allowed to be promoted unlike nowadays people seem to be more forced and like to be greedy and keep a good economy than living creativity since most people want something charming and distracting when they get home from their jobs.

You won't get to see these nowadays but man I kinda miss it. You can literally tell these are treasures to someone who had these back in the day. 

This one's perfect. 

The man has a Stan Laurel like smile. 

Another outstanding artist is H.M Bateman. This guy has alot of original character designs. He even makes some of the funniest title names to his pictures.

This person was one of many artists that fitted the cartoon aspect before cartoons in animation became an impact.

He also had unique and slim poses. 

While all of his characters are there for one occasion, it's still fascinating to see what they look like and how they interact.

These are so cute maybe it's because of how normal and casual everyone looks, or how it resembles the black and white scheme sorta like Mr. Jack how it doesn't need to have colors it just looks handsome and eloquent in of itself. 

Unlike most cartoonists today who have to follow with what's going on in today's world, throughout the early 20th century there was an era where art speaks itself without words and story, mostly what I said about Rabier's work. I'm a person who is mixed. I do want a story and solution, but I do prefer most of these drawings to be as exaggerated or interesting to look at.

Like I was saying internet didn't make everything go downhill, the internet is a very interesting place if you wanna be learning alot about these artists quickly and quite efficiently. It helps to gain influence alot faster but also look deeper into their work and to respect it.

The guy on the left reminds me of Dr. Mouse from Rescuers Down Under. 

I'm still trying to find artists that I think fit my personality often. But I think for now I'll focus on something else.
