French Kissin' [2]
SOMETIMES AN IDEA can be sitting right under your very nose and you don't even recognize it: there is an entry I done on here from March 2015, that features the Statue of Liberty and my Kong variant Koong King 'touching each others' tongues', shall we say........it actually dates from January of that year, and first appeared on a cartoon forum, the name of which I have long forgotten.
---Anyway, looking at that drawing again just recently, it dawned on me:
H'mmm.....nobody else out there seems to be doing this sort of thing.....this is so easy to draw, why not do more of these?
The best cartoons are often simple, direct, and hard-hitting: the reader should be able to get the basic gist of what the artist is putting accross within a split-second;------------ a cop-out that many artists use----and this includes me, I freely admit to this-----is to tart up a weak or routine idea and smother it with detail and technique: this can impress to be sure, but really, a good idea is a lot more important than just drawing for the sake of it.
I love the sheer simplicity of these 'French Kissing' cartoons: no dialogue is needed of course----or at least, when I have been lucky enough to kiss someone, not a lot of words get said [!]
More of these on the way.
Drawing 2 reveals how sometimes I draw the characters larger---more room to draw in is a lot easier.
Korky the cat was never quite like this:
