O: Orca


Geez, I get half way through the alphabet and then I just stop to pursue other interests. LAME! Let me just say, my bad. I should never do something half way.

When last I left the animal kingdom I should have done "O." I chose the orca or as they are known in popular circles, the killer whale. I drew one before these two that came out very generic. I've always had this problem in my drawings. When I cartoon something I tend to focus too much on the realistic aspects of something and in the process lose what would make a better cartoon version. It's the same with my caricatures. I worry so much about likeness that I don't get bold with my exaggerations. Making my pictures nice but boring. That's part of why I'm doing these exercises. One, to draw things I might not generally draw and two, to develop my drawing to create pictures with more energy and life.
