This was originally intended as blog designed so that Andy Norton, a postgraduate in Creative Digital Media, could discuss his influences whilst working on a comic for his Creative Portfolio Development module on that master’s degree. Now, the blog is intended to share articles relevant to his interests, as well as his artwork (past and present), as an experience graphic designer, with a background in illustration and animation.

Post a Drawing Every Day- 39- Loomis' 'Blook'
This is my studies on the signature character of Fun with a Pencil. I'm at the part in which 'Blook' pops up again, and encourages you to draw him. He's a pain to nail down, particularly with the overlapping nose over his moustache and mouth.

Post a Drawing Every Day- 38- Another 'Blocky' Study
I'm not sure about the outcome on this one. I think I got lost in the detail of Loomis' original, then working out what the hell how the face was made in the first place.

Post a Drawing Every Day- 35- More Loomis Facial Studies
I decided to do my drawings in another part of the day, instead of the evenings, especially as next week's evenings are going to be busy. Although I only did these studies, I have developed a way to work out how to let the construction sink in.
Firstly, I draw as much as possibly I can in a big detailed drawing- the head on the right is the example I will be using. Then I try and draw some thumbnails, from memory, to see if anything has sunk in. Not that the second small head, from the left, shows what I was able to sketch out from memory.

Post a Drawing Every Day- 34- Back to Loomis (Facial Studies)
Did some time to study some Loomis, like a few days before. Sometimes it went well, like the the man with that moustache, and sometimes not too good.
I just couldn't get my head around the simple construction of the one with glasses, mainly because of trying to apply all the detail in the final construction. The head that is looking up looks like a challenge, but I'm a bit tired to tackle it now.

Post a Drawing Every Day- Day 32- Further Study into Loomis' Another Line to the Ball
I didn't have much time to draw today, so I only just managed to do this quick study of another head in Loomis' chapter, using the same theory from yesterday. These drawings are okay, although I didn't really focus into the detail of the finalised head. So I might revisit this head to make more of a better effort.
