More from the session where the model ran late. Our host filled in with this interesting 5 min. My back aches looking at her.

The model for the cosplay session was late, so the woman who runs it, stepped up and did the early poses. Kudos to her, she was able to hold this for 5 min. Crazy, but she did it; and with only one cramp midway thru!

Line of motion. These are practically just a line with a cat added to them. Classic Tex Avery poses from MGM "The Cat That Hated People"

This wasn't one shot in the MGM "The Cat That Hated People", but both poses were, and just classic Tex Avery.

Tex Avery loved a strong "Take", and I always felt like older animation didn't worry as much about every line matching to a previous/following frame. The spastic hair on the cat makes this shot.

Tex Avery didn't shy away from a little violence, so it's hard to justify the idea that cartoons are kids. There's practically an axe murder in "The Cat That Hated People". Great pose though.

Seems like most cartoon dogs tend to be bulldogs- don't know why, maybe its just the huge chest, but both Warner Bros and MGM used them frequently.

From use of body silhouette, to exaggeration of form, it doesn't get much crazier than Tex Avery. Like this from "The Cat That Hated People"

People probably think I avoid Tex Avery cartoons, but his "takes" are the most energetic in the biz. Can't deny that. Like this from "The Cat That Hated People"

The last pose from the first life drawing session this month was 15 min. I was tired at this point, and I never did get the placement of the supports on the stool correct. Meh. I gave up and decided to draw their eyes, since the rest of the face was covered with a mask the whole night; which is the image you see on the selection page.

Another take on a lady from the Tex Avery MGM short "Batty Baseball", but pushed more from the Preston Blair version, to a softer Chuck Jones style.

In this 15 min pose from the early Sept life drawing session, a robe the model had setting on the stool fell off; hence the unfinished look of the stool. Oh well.

Preston Blair who animated "Red" from the classic Droopy cartoons, is not listed on the Tex Avery, MGM cartoon "Batty Baseball", but the ladies that appear in it, are obviously based on her.

In this 10 min pose from life drawing, the arms were a challenge, and the Netherlands are always an area I wonder if I should bother rendering, or not? Should have focused on the feet more.

More from the life drawing earlier this month, and the muscles in their crossed leg looked weird to me, and I didn't know if I should draw what I saw, or something less distracting. I think because it was a short pose, I ended up falling between the two.

The ladies in the Tex Avery MGM cartoon "Batty Baseball" look based on "Red" animated by Preston Blair - but they did have insanely thick eyeliner. I scaled it back here, but even then it looks seriously thick. Wonder what was up with that?

More from a life drawing session earlier this month, and although it's not shown, they were posing with a stool. These first two were 5 min.

Slight variation on a shot from Tex Avery in the MGM "Batty Baseball"

Session at the beginning part of the month was crazy crowded. Was talking to someone, who asked what my focus was during these sessions. I replied "Accuracy and speed". Since I'm not on a hero book lately, and Beano is all cartooning, gotta keep up the naturalistic chops.

The "Mayor" from "Paying the Piper". Loved McKimson's range of body types.

Annoyed Angel by ribbing her over chomping down snacks between life drawing poses at Fantom Comics; so she wouldn't look my direction. It's the younger brother part of my personality, bad form ole man.
