I've been reading the Walt Stanchfield lectures, which is the first drawing book in a while where I feel like I'm learning something. Not that I'm so good that mere books cannot teach me. Lord knows that's not true. But so many of them are a beginning to intermediate level. The Stanchfield books contain his Disney lectures, and are aimed at the working cartoonist.
Honestly, I just want to put them in a blender and drink them up. I read the books and find myself saying "Get in my brain faster!"
I'm trying to incorporate what I'm learning in the books into this issue. One of the things he teaches is pushing the pose. So I'm trying to loosen up and get some nice body language and images working. I think Abby's pose here has a lot of energy. You can feel her whipping around and looking worried.
It's a little thing, but you have to keep pushing, right?
