Badd Eggs Part 11
MORE imaginative manipulation of the never-ending, endless-seeming EGGS theme, featuring the usual characters and sub-stooges.
The 'raddi' of pain eminating from the egg-stooges [the red lightning-like bolts] are directly lifted from a drawing technique frequently seen in BULLY BEEF and CHIPS out of DANDY comic.
THESE ROUGHER, QUICKER DRAWINGS I DO like these seen here are normally exempt from 'before-and - after' comparisons, but I reckon this particular example may be of interest.
WHY DO I DRAW SOME BITS 'LARGER' LIKE THIS, THEN SHRINK THE LARGER ELEMENTS DOWN;--------WHY BOTHER?
------Basically, it's because I appreciate the difference in older-styled artwork, either in UK comics of the 50s-70s, or as was used in the older cel animation of the 30s-50s, in which the artists drew to a larger scale, meaning they had more room to draw in and thus able to do a nicer job on the artwork. Since the early 80s, most UK comics artists used or still use a noticably more 'cramped' scale to work within, which I feel compromized the work of even the top artists. Many fans/artists do not especially care all that much about this, but I personally am trying to get my cartoons looking 'older-fashioned', so I am drawing to the larger scale that the artists I admired more used: it's also less stressful 'drawing larger': it's less intense and more relaxing [at the pen-and-paper stage].
My eyesight is good enough to 'draw smaller' [I don't need specs] so it has nothing to do with that: I just prefer the more polished results offered by shrinking some of the elements down into a seperate drawing: to me, it is well worth any extra time and effort required.
